We are extremely happy to announce that we have finally (after a few years from the original tests) completed a beautiful model of one of the most versatile dynamics units of all times (and, probably for this, known as a bit frightening).

While modelling it at a component level, we added some modern features to take advantage of technology and to make it simpler (or a joy) to use.

Comp76 is a detailed, powerful, expanded and re-touched model of an old Compex 760 unit.

Original features:
  • Compressor, Expander, Limiter on a single (!) control chain.
  • Discrete, single FET gain reduction circuit.
  • Two independent channels.
  • Separate metering (per-channel), with independent Limit/Expand LEDs.
  • Auto release mode.
  • Punchy sound with character.
New features:
  • Big, detailed realtime graph for thresholds, levels and action of the sections.
  • Mid-Side encoding-decoding matrix (use the two channels on Mid and Side components of the stereo signal).
  • Sample-aligned mixing of the processed signal with the dry one (easy parallel compression _without_ phase issues).
  • Smooth true autogain (quick and simple comparisons between dry and processed).
  • Resize-able interface.
  • Upward compression! We replaced the original "Gate" mode with an upward compression stage (gating is still available and is the original "Expand" mode). Enhance or dry-out tails. Works wonders on drums.
  • Simple. plain text, preset management with copy and paste.
  • Linked Compressor and Expander thresholds for an easier placement of the "processing window" on the signal.
  • Simplified gain-staging.
Compression, Limiting, Expansion (individually switchable) are managed as an overall "processing window" that can be moved on the signal:
