Sustain and auto make-up gain
HyperGravity Compressor automatically em-
ploys make-up gain. As a compressor reduces
the dynamic range of the processed signal by at-
tenuating peaks, gain is applied to compensate
for the reduced signal level. As you increase the
Sustain, more compression and more make-up
gain is applied. In other words: The signal be-
comes louder.
Please note that higher Sustain settings will in-
crease noise, as the noise floor is inevitably am-
plified along with the signal. Experiment with
Sustain and Level settings to find the right bal-
ance.

Level knob
Use the Level knob to control the overall sig-
nal level. Crank this knob up for a massive level
boost that will make your solos and lead lines
sing like never before.
Level and Blend settings interact – see "Level
and Blend settings interact".
Inputs, outputs and controls
Attack knob
Use the Attack knob to define how fast full com-
pression should be applied. The shorter the At-
tack time, the sooner the signal's dynamics will
be compressed. Use low settings for a super-
fast chicken pickin' style attack, or maximize it
for a more open and punchy compression tone.
Attack and note transients
Use the Attack knob to ensure that the tran-
sients (the onset of the notes and chords you
are playing) can pass HyperGravity Compres-
sor uncompressed. Transients are usually much
louder than the rest of the signal, and if they are
compressed too strongly, this may introduce
artefacts. The "right" setting depends on your
playing style, instrument and other factors. Be
sure to experiment!
