module-customdopto

The Custom Opto reproduces a classic vintage opto circuit, adding several new controls for timing and tone to give producers unprecedented control and versatility.

Peak Reduction

Dial in the amount of compression you want here.

Ratio

Decide how aggressively you want to compress your sound.

Speed

Set how fast the compressor reacts to your audio signal here.

Output Gain

Control the amount of make-up gain applied after compression.

Tone

Use our internal sidechain filters to add different flavors to your compressed signal.

When linked, the Left and the Right channels receive the same Gain Reduction, which is the average of the two signals. This can be used to control the stereo image of the output.

Mix

Use the Mix knob to blend the balance between dry and wet signals.

External Side-Chain

The Custom Opto is a compressor with a variable threshold, set by the Peak Reduction knob. When using the External Side-Chain, the Side-Chain Gain slider will also affect the compression threshold; turning up the gain will have a similar effect to rotating the Peak Reduction knob clockwise..
