A complete compression workstation for guitar, bass, and beyond. The Atlas Compressor by Source Audio delivers six distinct compression styles, ranging from classic stompbox circuits to high-end studio rack units. With stereo routing, MIDI control, and Neuro Editor compatibility, Atlas provides everything from subtle dynamic control to aggressive peak limiting. Key Features Six Compression Modes: Optical Rack – Based on the LA-2A optical compressor, known for its smooth attack and natural sustain. Studio 76 – Modeled after the 1176 FET compressor, delivering fast attack and aggressive peak limiting. Cubic Zirconia – Inspired by LED-based optical compressors, offering faster attack and release times. Dual Band – Splits the signal into high and low frequencies, allowing independent compression control. Peak – A hard-knee VCA compressor, ideal for modern, aggressive compression. RMS – Uses Root Mean Square (RMS) detection, reacting to average loudness rather than peaks. Noise Gate & Expander – Optional noise gate and expander ensure clean signal processing. Stereo Routing Options – Supports Mono-to-Mono, Stereo-to-Stereo, Mono-to-Stereo, Stereo Sum-to-Mono, and External Loop configurations. Neuro Editor Compatibility – Use the Neuro Desktop Editor & Mobile App to customize parameters, store presets, and access user-created sounds. MIDI Integration – Supports preset recall and parameter control via MIDI. Universal Bypass System – Select between true bypass or buffered bypass, ensuring transparent signal integrity. Specifications Compression Types – Optical, FET, RMS, Dual-Band. Controls – Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Output, Blend. Inputs/Outputs – Stereo In, Stereo Out, MIDI I/O. Power Requirements – 9V DC, 200mA. Dimensions – 4.5” x 4.5” x 2”.
