This element can act as a compressor or expander. A compressor changes the amplitude of all samples above a specific threshold with a specific ratio, a expander does the same for all samples below a specific threshold. If soft-knee mode is selected the ratio is applied smoothly.

Selects whether the filter should work on loud samples (compressor) orquiet samples (expander).
Flags: Read / Write
Default value: Compressor (default)
“ratio” property“ratio” gfloat
Ratio that should be applied.
Flags: Read / Write
Allowed values: >= 0
Default value: 1
“threshold” property“threshold” gfloat
Threshold until the filter is activated.
Flags: Read / Write
Allowed values: [0,1]
Default value: 0
