Thanks, Mariana and Emma. I'll post this as an answer, but I think Emma's explanation and Gert's term might be clearer (depending on the readership).
As for the points, I wouldn't have found on this term without reading Emma's post, for sure.

: Here's my agree as promised :) "Reguladores" is quite common here in Spain in the music world, but my English music is rusty, so I'd forgotten about the cute hairpin term.

: Hairpin, right - that's the term commonly used in music notation software manuals. If this is for a broader readership, I would use this term and add mine or Emma's in brackets. However, in this prtclr context, use of dim/descr would really be misleading.

control
Ya que "regulador de volumen (sonor)" es "volume control" con la radio, creo que la palabra "regulardor" aislada con el sonido tiene que ser "control".

cresc and dim
"reguladores" refer to crescendos and diminuendos in music.
In music programs, when you write "cresc" or "<" the program should reflect this in the playback volume of your score or recording. The fact that a plug-in is used seems to confirm this.
Decr (decrescendo) is an unusual way of saying diminuendo, but if you're going to use it later in the sentence, maybe you should use it here too.
Los reguladores son unos signos que expresan también cambios graduales de la intensidad: crescendo Diminuendo

Not sure if I made it clear enough that "reguladores" are the actual signs (< and > ). Perhaps it would be better to use the signs instead of words.

dynamic mark / (here:) crescendo symbol
In general, a regulador is a dynamic mark, such as a crescendo or decrescendo symbol (s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescendo).
In this specific case (s. http://www.hispasonic.com/foros/expresion-standarad-sibelius... the asker has entered "small" (i.e., shortened) crescendo symbols (one per note, which is in fact unconventional) to reduce the attack volume of each of the notes and make them sound softer in playback. No decresc. or dim. involved.

Thanks everyone,

H creates a crescendo hairpin:

Many references online to "hairpin" symbols for crescendo/decrescendo at:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Hair...
Musescore notation program manual in Spanish uses *reguladores* and the English version of the manual uses *hairpins* to refer to the > and < crescendo/descrescendo symbols available on the program's line palette.
