thank you for this great explanation and patch – I’ve been using it in live performances!

I’d like to know how you’d go about making one such that attack and release are independently controlled – I’m not sure even where to start, and any help would be appreciated.

how the [pd delWrite, [pd delRead] and [pd dump] look like on the inside?
Has someone made this compressor?

Thanks for your reply!

I think you may have misunderstood my question though. I am not referring to the ratio division but the very last division object in the gain computation section before leaving the gain computation sub patch. It looks like a division which divides the output of all the calculations by the original values of the signal. It says in the description ‘The last step of the gain computation process requires the output of the formula to be divided by the input.’ but it doesn’t explain why?

By dividing the signal we get the ratio of gain change. The compressor works by taking the amount by which the gain has changed and compressing the signal.

Using the [inlet~] and [outlet~] objects in the subpatch :)

Oh, right! Thanks :)
Actually all I want to know is how the [pd delWrite] and [pd delRead] look like on the inside (because he must have added something in order to get the inlet slots on the outside…?

See Varun’s most recent comment (March 26th), just above. He’ll get it up as soon as he can, though it will likely take a while.
