DELOS C
Six compressor circuits, one clean interface.
Overview
DELOS C places six distinct compression circuits behind one shared control layout. Clean is designed for transparent gain control and bus work; Classic and Vintage introduce progressively more program-dependent movement and density; Opto uses a slower, smoother recovery profile; Punch prioritizes transient impact; Limit provides fast peak containment.
The split waveform view presents the incoming signal and the gain-reduced output together, making timing and envelope decisions visible without replacing critical listening. Threshold, ratio, knee, attack, release, makeup gain and mix remain consistent when changing circuit, so algorithm comparisons do not interrupt the workflow.
An external sidechain input accepts a routed trigger signal, shaped by switchable Low Cut, High Cut and Bell filters ahead of the detector, with an Off/Listen/On stage so the shaped trigger can be auditioned before it drives gain reduction. Preset management, A/B comparison, automatic gain and release behavior (now available on every algorithm), mid/side operation and lookahead controls — with lookahead delay reported to the host for automatic compensation — support repeatable evaluation in individual tracks, subgroups and full mixes. The processor also negotiates multichannel and surround bus layouts with compatible hosts, allowing the same compression architecture to be used beyond mono and stereo sessions.

Interface & workflow
Program-dependent gain reduction
Input and output waveforms, transfer behavior and the circular gain-reduction meter remain visible while auditioning the six circuits.
External sidechain with Low Cut, High Cut and Bell
Shape the detector signal before it drives gain reduction, with Off/Listen/On monitoring and a dedicated trigger-and-output visualizer.
