003: Stereo Limiter
The Limiter regulates the input signal level. It is similar to the
Compressor, except that the Limiter compresses only signals that
exceed the specified level to lower unnecessary peak signals. The
Limiter applies a peaking-type EQ to the trigger signal (which
controls the degree of the Limiter effect), allowing you to set any
band width to be covered. This effect is a stereo limiter. You can
link left and right channels, or use each channel individually.
Envelope Source
By selecting FX Control 1 or FX Control 2 you can use the signal
of FX Control Bus 1 or 2 as the trigger signal.
For instance, you might use a different, unprocessed sound as the
trigger, or apply a limiter triggered by a different timbre
(Combination) or track (Sequence). For more information, please
see “FX Control Bus” on page 209.
Envelope
When L/R Mix is selected for this parameter, the left and right
channels are linked to control the Limiter using the mixed signal.
If L Only (or R Only) is selected, the left and right channels are
linked, and the Limiter is controlled via only the left (or right)
channel.
With L/R individually, the left and right channels control the
Limiter individually.
Ratio
Threshold [dB]
Gain Adjust [dB]
This parameter sets the signal compression “Ratio.” Compression
is applied only when the signal level exceeds the “Threshold”
value.
Adjust the output level using the “Gain Adjust” parameter, since
compression causes the entire level to be reduced.
Attack
Release
These parameters set the attack time and release time. A higher
attack time will cause the compression to be applied more slowly.
