What MPC Compressor does
The plugin groups its controls into a core compressor section and a set of character controls. Depth, Knee and Pgm let the compressor keep its character on demanding material, while a sidechain EQ shapes the detector to push the sound toward a modern, vintage or more unusual tone. Eight presets are supplied as starting points for common compression tasks. Harrison presents this unit as the most advanced compressor in its MPC Console suite.
Key features
- Core compressor controls. Threshold, ratio, attack and release shape the compression curve, and makeup gain sets the output level after processing.
- Character controls. Depth, knee and Pgm are intended to help the compressor retain its character on challenging material.
- Sidechain EQ. An equalizer in the sidechain changes how the detector responds, shifting the sound between modern, vintage and out-of-this-world tones.
- External sidechain and listen. An external sidechain input can drive the detector, and the sidechain listen button lets that signal be heard on its own.
- Starting presets. Eight presets cover common compression tasks and can be used as a starting point before adjusting the controls.
Compatibility
The plugin comes as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native Apple Silicon support listed.
