Originally imagined in 2014, PUMP is a single channel, 500 series rack mount compressor loaded with the kinds of features and performance you\u2019ve come to expect from Empirical Labs. This module has serious heritage and shares family DNA with notable ELI processors including the renowned Distressor, Arousor, and Mike-E. The PUMP is destined to be a \u201cgo-to\u201d processor for the creative audio pro that has a toolbox built around no compromise performance, quality, and value.<\/p>\n

Starting at the top, PUMP includes controls for Input Level with a clip (BAD) indicator. There are 8 selectable compression ratios from 2:1 to 20:1 and everything in between, each with their own unique curve. Independent digitally-stepped knobs provide precise recall of Attack and Release selections \u2013 including a soft Opto-Coupler style Release. PUMP has a switchable 110Hz High Pass Filter, comprehensive Gain Reduction metering, Attack Modification (AtMod) to slow the initial onset of the attack envelope to preserve more transient content for greater overall impact \u2013 with a Bypass selection to go dry.<\/p>\n

Attack Modification<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

One of the most unique features of PUMP is AtMod, short for Attack Modification. First seen is our Arousor plug-in, AtMod is a feature never before found in a hardware compressor.<\/p>\n

AtMod gives users the ability to slow down the initial slope of the attack envelope to add just a little bit more of the transient back into the track. Whether it\u2019s to get a little bit more snap on the snare track or more thump on the electric bass, the AtMod will let the transients through without losing your desired amount of compression.<\/p>\n
