5- Threshold: It sets the threshold of the compressor, ranging from -10 dB to +10 dB (celestial dynamics section, comp). 5-
6- Time: Coupled attack and release times (from Fast to Slow); fixed ratio 2:1 (celestial dynamics 6-
section, comp). se
7- Spread: Amount of spread (mid-side) (yellow stereo section, mid-side processing), this knob controls the balance 7-
between full MONO (M) and full SIDE (S) signal. m
8- Texture: Global boost of the harmonic content and linear material; (drive-teal staging section). on
9- Low Frequency(Hz): this is a Low Shelf EQ. Values: 30Hz, 50Hz, 70Hz or 90Hz (infrared equalizer section). 8-

filter section). 11
12- SC filter: HP filter for sidechain signal (celestial dynamics section, comp). fil
13- Make Up: post comp make up gain ( celestial dynamics section, comp). It sets the output gain compensation, in 12
order to match the level of the compressed signal with the original. Make-up gain range: from 0 dB to +20 dB. pr
14- Pan: panner (yellow stereo section, mid side processing); This knob controls the left/right signal level therefore the 13
stereo image. or
15- Input Trim: Controls only the harmonic content of the preamp with the transformer (preamp T, preamp with output 14
transformer). The control sets the input level from -24dB to +24dB, and it is used to adjust the internal operational level fil
of the plugin. Note that this is different from a standard input gain control due to the linked output gain stage, which al- 15
ways ensures that whatever gain change is introduced at Celestial’s input, the output level is automatically compensated tr
so that there’s no perceived level change. of
16- Gain: Output gain (global control), this knob provides ±24dB gain at the output stage of the plugin. w
17- Drive button: Activates the drive-teal staging section. The input trim does not affect this section. so
18- EQ On button: Activates the infrared equalizer section of the EQ - Low shelf/High shelf 16
19- FLT On button: Activates the tangerine filter LP/HP section. 17
20- Comp On button: Compress!!! 18
21- Pre T button: press this to activate the ‘custom-designed’ transformer circuit emulation which is able to add har- 19
monic content in the low-end and a favourable top-end phase-shift to the sound and it also adds a mild ‘weight’ thanks 20
to the underdamping of the sampled transformer. 21
22- Input (L-R) meters: they display the input levels entering Celestial. Range IN (L-R): -42dB to +0dB. m
They are volume unit (VU) led meters (300 ms average) that measures the stereo input level. to
23- Gain reduction meter: The Gain Reduction meter measure the gain reduction level applied by the compressor. 22
The meter indicates ‘0’ in the absence of an input signal or any gain reduction. If the signal exceeds the compression Th
