Hi Folks,
Based on a previous post regarding frequency response of the synth's output, Johannes suggested that I check out the "compressor/expander" circuit on the KLM-368 effects board. I totally agree that the circuit has an interesting effect on the sound of the synth. I was hoping to figure out how it worked so I could better understand its purpose.
Below I show a schematic of this circuit along with some annotation and discussion of the individual elements:

Am I getting it right? What is this thing actually doing? Is it just a noise gate?
I'd love your thoughts.
