Pg. 66 of the mkii manual has a screenshot of the compressor page. I don’t see anything on the right side of the screen, but the bottom left has an “FX LEV” indicator that I would guess to be what you are referring to.
Pg 61 of the mki manual shows the bar pretty well, although it doesn’t show it move (obviously)
Yeah, definitely not seeing that on my mkII unit. Shame, as obviously that would be VERY helpful.
Thank you very much!
there are no levels… 
happy to give sth back. learned a lot OT from yours 
Good point! Hopefully a future update
It a bug in the manual, like all of you are saying. That bar is only visible in the MKI graphics. Thanks for the heads up. I will update the MKII manual.
Wait, you’re supposed to leave the manual like it is and update the software to bring back this useful function!
Indeed, we are not interested in downgrades for the MkII.
The bar is useful functionality not to be missed!
did anyone see if this is something that might come back in a future update? or no info? (wishful thinking)
I know this is just a small thing, and I’ve been using the compressor by ear up to now, but I just re-read the manual for my AR2 and realised that it talks about a gain meter for the compressor. I definitely have no meter at all on any of the screens - where should I be looking?
@eangman has forgotten to update as promised by the look of things
current manual…
There is a bar on the rightmost edge of the screen which will visually
represent the amount of compression. (0–127)
Oops… yes, that totally slipped my mind. Sorry about that. I have now updated the manual and uploaded it to the site.
Mod Edit : Link for convenience 
Try current manual; - it was never possible on this display - older manual text was copied from old ones in error
Current manual shows
It is a pity that this function is no more! (Perhaps it was quite useful)
I will look at the forum, recommendations for working with the compressor)
Very strange, as Rytm and Digitakt have the same OLED screen and DT have that bar (min. 5.30)
Best look through the threads on this, iirc Elektron definitely allude to the fact that the screen was a limiting (no pun intended) aspect, to some extent - I wonder if the analog nature of the AR compressor is significant despite the screen similarity - I guess you can always ask again in light of this observation to get some clarification
