Cmp1 : everything you want in a modular analog compressor

7 years ago

literally has every feature on my wishlist for a compression module: 100% analog signal path, works well for "mastering" style compression as well as real "sidechain" (ducking) capabilities and can link up with a second cmp1 to provide stereo-linked compression. Of course, build quality is impeccable since it's waldorf and it looks quite nice on the rack compared to many modules where the panel design is more of an afterthought. Now that I've evaluated it sonically, I will be getting a second for the stereo pair. Really makes almost any patch sound just that little bit better, if you manage to find the right settings anyway - as a good compressor should.
