The Orinj Simple Compressor adjusts the amplitude of the incoming signal to both soften sharp amplitude changes and, usually, to bring together quieter and louder parts of the signal. This thus is a standard compressor / expander. An explanation of how compressors work is provided in the topic on the Orinj Compressor. The Orinj Simple Compressor differs from the Orinj Compressor in that the Simple Compressor allows for only one threshold and does not permit compressing / expanding separate frequency bands separately.

Using the Orinj Simple Compressor

The Orinj Simple Compressor can be added to tracks in the multitrack session view, tracks in the loop building view and to waves in the single wave view. In the multitrack session view and in the loop building view, first select the track to which you want to add the effect. In all of these views, click on Effect, then on Dynamics, and then on Orinj Simple Compressor in the Orinj menu. You will see the following dialog.
