1.2 About BSS®DPR-402

The Waves BSS DPR-402 plugin is a software model of the DPR-402 Compressor/Peak

Limiter/De-Esser hardware originally manufactured by BSS Audio. This dynamics processor

provided the punchy, explosive signature sound for drum machines in the 1980s, and was

featured heavily in dance pop, electronic and hip-hop music. But it had many other versatile

uses in the studio, and was also a massively popular favorite on stage.

Working in collaboration with BSS Audio and Harman International, Waves has now modeled

this landmark dynamics processor and created a digital tool with the unique sound, functionality

and flexibility of the original.

1.3 The Original Hardware

BSS DPR-402 was designed in response to the demand for a versatile, compact stereo unit

that provides the three most commonly used dynamic functions in a single 1-unit rack space. Its

internal architecture, including two independent insert-accessible side chains per channel,

allows great flexibility and scope.

A dedicated de-esser control with a variable filter provides wideband sibilance control along with

compression and peak limiting. There are three modes of de-essing: full-spectrum attenuation,

HF-only attenuation, and a mix of de-essing and compression.

The compressor section affords full control over all the normal parameters, and offers “auto”

time constants for general-purpose use. It can be switched to operate at high frequencies only,

resulting in a dynamically controlled tunable HF filter. The control and subtract sidechain

insertion points allow for versatile dynamic tonal modification. Gain reduction is achieved using

a voltage controlled attenuator that is capable of reducing the input signal by up to 30 dB.

A calibrated peak limiter provides absolute control without compromising the dynamics setting of

the compressor. This can yield less dynamic distortion for an equivalent amount of

compression.

1.4 Features Added to the Plugin

In addition to modeling the above features of the original hardware, Waves has added five

features to the plugin for extra flexibility, control, and ease of use:

INPUT GAIN CONTROL

Controls the input level going into the compressor

MIX CONTROL

Controls the balance between the processed and the

unprocessed signal. This enables very quick parallel

compression within the plugins.

NOISE CONTROL

Adds hardware-modeled noise.

MS MATRIX

(stereo component only)

Provides separate compression between the mid and sides of

the stereo signal: Mid is compressed on one channel and sides

on the second.

MONITOR

(stereo component only)

Select the source of the monitor output –Mono, Stereo, Left or

Right. (In MS mode, Left monitors the mid while Right monitors

the sides.)

1.5 Components

WaveShell technology enables Waves processors to be split into smaller plugins, which we call

components. A choice of different components for a particular processor allows you to choose

the configuration best suited to your material. Waves BSS DPR-402 includes the following

components:

BSS DPR-402 Mono

BSS DPR-402 Stereo

2.2 Controls

IN GAIN

Increases or decreases the gain of the input signal.

Range: -20 dB to 20 dB in 0.1-dB increments

Default: 0 dB

Reset: 0 dB

DE-ESS

Determines the amount of de-essing applied to the signal when Mode is set to “Compress.”

Range: Out (0 dB) to 9 dB of gain reduction in 0.1-dB increments

Default: Out

Reset: Out

FREQ

Determines the frequency that will trigger the selected frequency-dependent dynamic

processes.

Range: 800 Hz to 15 kHz in 0.01-kHz increments

Default: 15 kHz

Reset: 15 kHz

De-Esser Meter

Indicates the operation of the de-esser.

1. Off –DeEsser not active

2. Green –Shows that gain reduction is active, even at low values such as below 1 dB.

3. Orange –approximately 15 dB of Gain Reduction

THRESHOLD

Determines the level above which dynamic processes occur.

Range: Out (0.0 dB) to -50 dB in 0.1-dB increments.

Default: Out

Reset: Out

RATIO

Determines the ratio of compression, expansion or de-essing, depending on the selected Mode

and Jumper settings.

Range: Out (1:1) to inf:1 in 0.1:1 increments

Default: 4:1

Reset: Out (1:1)

MODE

Determines the function of the dynamic processing operation.

1. COMPRESS –Broadband compression

2. DE-ESS Wide –Assigns Thresh/Ratio/Attack/Release controls to broadband de-essing.

The DE-ESS control is inactive in this mode.

3. DE-ESS HF –Assigns Thresh/Ratio/Attack/Release controls to frequency-specific

de-essing. De-ess and Peak Limiter controls are inactive in this mode.

ATTACK

Determines the attack time of the compression, expansion, or de-essing, depending on the

selected Mode and Jumper settings.

Range: 50 µs to 100 ms in 11 predetermined states

Default: 1 ms

Reset: 50 µs

RELEASE

Determines the release time of the compression, expansion or de-essing, depending on the

selected Mode and Jumper settings.

Range: 5 ms to 4 sec., or Auto for program-dependent Attack and Release times.

The ATTACK control is inactive in this mode.

Default: 100 ms

Reset: 5 ms

BELOW TH Meter

Indicates how far the signal is below the set threshold. When the “TH” LED is illuminated, the

threshold has been reached.

Range: -18 dB to threshold.

GAIN REDUCTION Meter

Indicates the amount of gain reduction applied to the signal.

Range -3 dB to -27 dB of gain reduction

METER IN/OUT

Toggles the meter display between input and output.

Range: Input /Output

Default: Output

Reset: Output

Out Gain

Increases or decreases the gain of the output signal.

Range: -20 dB to 20 dB in 0.1-dB increments

Default: 0 dB

Reset: 0 dB

Mon S.C.

Lets you monitor the sidechain signal that triggers the VCA dynamic process.

Range: On/Off

Default: Off

Reset: Off

Input/Output Level Meter

Indicates the signal level at the plugin’s input or output, according to the state of the Meter

In/Out button.

Range: -44 dB to 0 dB

PEAK LIM

Determines the threshold of the Peak Limiter. Peak level limiting occurs after Output Gain, so

changing output gain will affect output level, not the peak level. The ratio of the Peak Limiter is

fixed at 20:1.

Range: Out (0 dB) to -16 dB in 0.1-dB increments

Default: Out

Reset: Out

Peak Limiter Meter

This meter indicates when limiting begins (Green) and when heavy limiting occurs (Red).

PEAK LIM FAST/SLOW

Sets the attack and release times of the Peak Limiter. It is generally preferable to use the Fast

response setting. However, if this results in audible artifacts, try the Slow response.

Range: Fast /Slow

Default: Fast

Reset: Fast

CH IN

This button is an internal bypass button that enables you to quickly bypass all functions of the

selected channel in the DPR-402. When the button illuminated, the channel is active. When the

button is off, the channel is bypassed.

Range: In (active) / Out (bypass)

Default: In

Reset: In

LINK LED

When illuminated green, this LED indicates that the two channels are linked together as a

stereo pair.
