Q knob is used to adjust the so-called quality factor of the filter which controls the width of the
frequency band on which the filter is active. In its leftmost position, the frequency band is wide
and it gets narrower as the knob is turned clockwise.

The SC button (side-chain) is used to determine if the output from the EQ module is to be used
as the control signal of the Compressor module as described in Section 4.3.2. Finally, note that all
the gain knobs from this module can be accessed directly from the Play view.
4.3.2 Compressor
The Compressor module is used to automatically compress, in other words reduce, the dynamics
of a signal. This module receives two input signals. The first one is the signal to be compressed
while the second one is a control signal which triggers the compression process when it rises above
a given level.
