Abstract

In circuits for generating rapidly changing, yet smooth and controlled, control signals in response to transient signals for use in audio compressors and expanders, a steady-state portion of the control circuit includes first and second smoothing stages (alternatively, a single stage may be employed) and an overshoot suppression portion of the control circuit rapidly charges the capacitor in the steady-state smoothing stage from which the control voltage is derived. A first additional overshoot suppression circuit provides further charging of the capacitor in response to low frequency signal components. Modulation control signals, which make the compressor or expander less susceptible to control by stop-band signal components, are combined in opposition to the signals in the steady-state and overshoot suppression portions of the control circuit. A further overshoot suppression circuit provides additional charging of the capacitor in order to compensate in certain cases for the use of modulation control signals.
