Darkglass Hyper Luminal Comp - How to use Blend knob and Mode selector?

I just have received this comp today and I still don't know how to utilize the blend knob for making a good tone. So, this knob "blends" the dry tone and compressed tone together. i.e., un-compressed tone also comes through the pedal to the speaker with the compressed tone, am I right? Then, how do you utilize this knob to make good tones? Could you please give me some tips for that?
Another question is, could you possibly explain tone characteristic of each mode, bus, sym and fet? And if you have any, could you tell me your favorite mode? Also, I suppose each mode goes well with certain genres of the music or playing styles. If then, could you also let me know about it?
