Compressor example

[tcpoint]

I posted some code for a compressor using the module in the DaisySP library.

I don't know much about digital compressors (or compressors for that matter). I've built 5 analog ones but I only like a little bit of compression. Autogain seems a little loud. I've had a migraine for the last 3 days so the code may suck. The binaries are included. I'd like a little feedback. Trying to figure out the sidechain and will add that. Have fun.

Here's the readme:

# Description
Compressor that used the daisysp compressor module
TODO: figure out sidechain
TODO: get the right ranges on the controls

# Control

| Control | Description | Comment |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Ctrl 1| Attack | attack |
| Ctrl 2| Release | release |
| Ctrl 3| ratio | compression ratio |
| Ctrl 4| threshold | threshold |
| Ctrl 5| gain makeup | make up for gain lost |
| SW 1 | Auto Gain | |

Nice. When i get more of my board put together i will try it out. I keep my GitHub exactly where you keep yours.
