| **Release** | Sets how quickly suppression returns after a note (2–30 ms). Increase it to preserve tails. |
| **Listen removed** | Auditions input minus processed audio; switch it off to hear the processed signal. This difference includes filter phase effects, not just noise. |

Input and output meters show **peak dBFS**. The large readout shows
**high-band gain reduction**, not whole-signal loudness loss; in multiband
sessions it shows the deepest band reduction. Clip warnings, bypass, silence,
learning, and stopped audio are labelled explicitly. Stopped meters clear
instead of holding stale readings.

Drag a dial to adjust; **Shift-drag** for fine control, **double-click / Return**
for exact entry, and **Alt/Option-click / Home** to reset. Tab and arrow keys
work too. Use your host's bypass to compare with the dry input.
The screen plots **high-band gain reduction** over the last six seconds, not
whole-signal loudness loss, with the current value above the plot; in multiband
sessions it shows the deepest band reduction. The **INPUT** and **OUTPUT** bars
show **peak dBFS** with a readout, each with a clip cell held for one second.
While *Listen removed* is on, the output bar is relabelled **REMOVED**. Bypass,
silence, learning, and stopped audio are labelled explicitly; the plot breaks
wherever there was no reading, and stopped bars go dark instead of holding
stale readings.

Drag a knob to adjust; **Shift-drag** for fine control, **double-click / Return**
for exact entry in its readout, and **Alt/Option-click / Home** to reset.
Right-click for the parameter menu, including your host's items. Tab and arrow
keys work too. Use your host's bypass to compare with the dry input.

The interface follows the shared [Affine design language](libs/affine-ui/DESIGN_LANGUAGE.md);
see [`docs/UI_DESIGN.md`](docs/UI_DESIGN.md) for the Suppressor-specific details.

Existing sessions and automation remain compatible. The additional engine
settings remain available in the host's parameter view, not in the simplified
