The magic is in the internal sidechain that shapes the gain reduction envelope. This starts with a a switchable high-pass \/ low-pass filter, before going into a precision envelope follower, controlled by familiar parameters: the attack, release, threshold, ratio and makeup gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe ratio can go past limiting and into over-compression, which can completely reshape transients, a great tool for sound design. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBeing modular, of course there are CV inputs for Attack, Release and the side-chain Filter cutoff. The Gain CV controls the makeup gain, but also doubles as a Stereo VCA with the Gain knob turned fully CCW.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe gain reduction envelope is also available as an output, for turning filters or other VCA's into compressors for example, or as a standalone envelope follower.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a bypass switch, and a Warm mode, that can bring in a bit of additional saturation and compression in the form of analog tube simulation circuitry.\u003cbr\u003eLastly there's the possibility to insert an external sidechain, for that classic kick sidechain compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDimensions\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e8 HP\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e25 mm deep\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCurrent Draw\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e45 mA +12V\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e26 mA -12V\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"COSMOTRONIC","offers":[{"title":"BLACK","offer_id":43577097191597,"sku":"cosmotronic-messor-black","price":329.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SILVER","offer_id":43577097224365,"sku":"cosmotronic-messor-silver","price":329.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/3449\/7197\/products\/messor.jpg?v=1645062746","url":"https:\/\/www.detroitmodular.live\/products\/cosmotronic-messor","provider":"Detroit Modular","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
