Effect Guide
003:St. Limitr (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.

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.
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
Wet / Dry
Limiter individually.
Ratio
Threshold [dB]
Gain Adjust [dB]
Wet / Dry
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.
