Limiter - Native Instruments Hypha Manual

• Impulse Response selector: Selects the impulse response used for creating the convolution
effect. You can open the drop-down menu by clicking on the name and select an entry from the
list on the right side of the menu. The various categories can be selected on the left side of the
menu. Alternatively, you can use the left and right arrow buttons to select the previous or next
entry, respectively.
• Mix: Blends between the input signal and the effect signal.

Limiter

Limiter is a special type of compressor that reduces signal peaks to prevent clipping, but also to
increase the overall loudness of a signal by raising the output level accordingly.
This effect contains the following parameters and controls:
• Effect On/Off: Switches the effect on or off (power button icon).
• Gain: Adjusts the gain of the input signal. Since the limiter has a fixed threshold, raising the
input gain effectively increases the amount of gain reduction, or limiting, applied to the signal.
• Release: Adjusts the time it takes gain reduction to return to 0 after the input signal has fallen
below the threshold. Reducing the release time can further increase loudness, but also result in
a distorted signal. Increasing the release times will prevent distortion, but can lead to pumping
effects.
