Allow disabling/reducing compressor #18

Open Wuerfel21 opened 3 years ago

Wuerfel21 commented 3 years ago

The global compressor in BeepBox has irked me for a while now. It'd be cool if it was possible to reduce it's strength or entirely disable it, that'd be great.

(Aside from the obvious issue of being unable to create a difference between loud and quiet parts, I myself have (thanks to its simple interface and appropriate JSON export format) have appropriated BeepBox to generate data for a chiptune playroutine. Getting proper dynamics would be helpful in that use case).

Relatedly, the volume of BeepBox as a whole is always very low. Kindof annoying when I turn up my amp to use it and then get my ears blasted out when I forget to turn it down again.

Also, that project sounds pretty cool!

Thanks, that fork fits the bill. JSON format seems mostly the same, too.

if this ever where to get added, turn the compressor into an effect?
