This is a compressor developed by Yamaha Corporation. It can simulate the characteristics of compressors in the mid-1970s. It has stereo and mono modes. It can control the levels of resistors and capacitors through virtual circuit modeling technology.
The Yamaha Compressor 260/260S is an Add-On Effects package that emulates the characteristics of mid-1970s compressors and limiters using VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology. The Compressor 260 is a mono split effect allowing independent control of two channels, while the Compressor 260S is a stereo effect where parameters can be linked for L and R channels. The software is designed to be used on digital consoles via Studio Manager or directly on the console interface.
