Main Audio Input

Used to feed with audio material (Loops,
Basses, Guitar, etc. . . )

2

Side Audio Input

Used for the classical side chain compression

3

Thresh CV Input

Used to control the compressor threshold

4

Comp CV Input

Used to control the compression ratio

5

Level Input

Used to control the signal level by a Control
Voltage (Classic VCA instead of compression
mode)

6

Link Input

Used for chaining several cmp1 modules for
multi-channel compression

7

Link Output

Used for providing the master compressor
signal to a chained cmp1

8

RMS Peak Output

Output to be used as a CV modulation source
for other modules
