Three Preset Modes: Enjoy flexibility with three factory presets for attack and release settings: FAST: A lightning-fast setting that transforms the Emperor 500 into a limiter, delivering rich and dense input signal saturation. MED: This preset activates the Emperor 500 as a fast compressor, providing dynamic control for your audio signals. SLOW: In this mode, the Emperor 500 functions more like a classic analog compressor, offering gentle and smooth limiting.
