C165a has been developed by measuring and testing a classic VCA compressor with a great sound and very simple to use. Its features have been extended including sidechain filters, a sample-aligned parallel mixing control and a limiter switch.
Main features are:
-
mono/stereo
-
Auto mode for easy compression, punch and smooth sustain
-
4x oversampling for nice saturation
-
internal sidechain equalizer (low, mid and high bands)
-
internal limiter with controlled distortion (for more punch, peak control or creative drive – switchable)
-
sample aligned internal parallel compression
-
knee meter (leds) and in/out/compression meter
-
simple 3D interface
-
from transparent compression to extreme punch, sustain and creative distortion
