When the Knee control is set to 0, the transfer function of the compressor is a classic “hard-knee” in which

the compressor applies no gain reduction when the detector is below the threshold, and the gain is reduced

by the ratio when the detector level is above the threshold.

Figure 5.5: Knee Control at 0

When you increase the Knee parameter from 0 to 1 the knee of the transfer function gradually softens until the

compressor functions as a soft-knee compressor when the Knee parameter is 1.

You can also adjust the Knee parameter to negative values, which has the effect introducing a “kink” in the

compressor transfer function at the threshold. This can yield useful results on percussive material.
