Performance - kthresh -- sets the lowest decibel level that will be allowed through. Normally -90 or less, but if higher the threshold will begin removing low-level signal energy such as background noise. + kthresh -- sets the lowest decibel level that will be allowed through. This is a threshold of a separate noise gate, normally set at -90 dB or less, but if higher the threshold will begin removing low-level signal energy such as background noise. - kloknee, khiknee -- decibel break-points denoting where compression or expansion will begin. These set the boundaries of a soft-knee curve joining the low-amplitude 1:1 line and the higher-amplitude compression ratio line. Typical values are -52 and -30 db. If the two breakpoints are equal, a hard-knee (angled) map will result. + kloknee, khiknee -- decibel break-points denoting where compression or expansion will begin.

The value 2 will advance the output just one decibel for every input gain of two; 3 will advance just one in three; 20 just one in twenty, etc. Inverse ratios will cause signal expansion: .5 gives two for one, .25 four for one, etc. The value 1 will result in no change.
