Thanks, phantomfm!
I'm mainly interested what shape values mean, like <1 ?= speedup, 1 ?= neutral, >1 ?= slowdown, etc.
Also with auto shape off does the shape stay the same when changing the attack/release times? In other words do we want to change the shape value to get back the same shape for different timings or do we intentionally want different timings to have different shapes?
The shape control describes the relationship in compressor Speeds vs. Level difference.
lower values means more or less constant speeds, higher values causes the compressor to react slower to smaller Level differences than to bigger differences.
Comnpared with the automatic door-closers it describes how much faster the door closes when you press with force against it, or how much force do you need to cause the door closes x % faster than without your pressing.
With low shape values you wouldn't be able to close the door faster with even much force, on higher values it will more follow your force.
