el.compress

el.compress(atkMs, relMs, threshold, ratio, sidechain, xn)

A simple hard-knee compressor with parameterized attack, release, threshold, and ratio, with an optional sidechain input.

  • @param {Node | number} atkMs – attack time in milliseconds
  • @param {Node | number} relMs – release time in milliseconds
  • @param {Node | number} threshold – decibel value above which the comp kicks in
  • @param {Node | number} ratio – ratio by which we squash signal above the threshold
  • @param {Node} sidechain – sidechain signal to drive the compressor
  • @param {Node} xn – input signal to filter

Example:

// Imagine we have some drum sequences with the following names, summed into
// a single drum bus
let drumBus = el.add(kick, hat, snare, cymbals);
 
// We can compress the drumBus directly by passing it both as the sidechain
// signal and as the signal to filter
let out = el.compress(10, 100, -48, 4, drumBus, drumBus);
