The included effect plug-ins
The Limiter section
Limiter is designed to ensure that the output level never
exceeds a certain set output level, to avoid clipping in fol-
lowing devices. Conventional limiters usually require very
accurate setting up of the attack and release parameters,
to prevent the output level from going beyond the set
threshold level. Limiter adjusts and optimizes these pa-
rameters automatically, according to the audio material.
You can also adjust the Release parameter manually.
The available parameters are the following:
The Module Configuration button
In the bottom right corner of the plug-in panel you will find
a button with which you can set the signal flow order for
the three processors. Changing the order of the proces-
sors can produce different results, and the available op-
tions allow you to quickly compare what works best for a
given situation. Simply click the Module Configuration but-
ton to change to a different configuration. There are three
routing options:
• C-G-L (Compressor-Gate-Limit)
• G-C-L (Gate-Compressor-Limit)
• C-L-G (Compressor-Limit-Gate)
Filter plug-ins
This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the
“Filter” category.
DualFilter
This effect filters out “Resonance” adds a ringing effect to
the filtered sound.
The available parameters are the following:
Graphic
display
Use the graphic display to graphically set the Threshold or
the Ratio value.
Parameter Description
Output
(-24 – +6 dB)
This setting determines the maximum output level. Signal
levels above the set threshold are affected, but signal levels
below are left unaffected.
Soft Clip
(On/Off)
Soft Clip acts differently compared to the limiter. When the
signal level exceeds -6dB, SoftClip starts limiting (or clip-
ping) the signal “softly”, at the same time generating har-
monics which add a warm, tubelike characteristic to the
audio material.
Release
(10 – 1000ms
or “Auto”)
This parameter sets the amount of time it takes for the gain
to return to its original level when the signal drops below
the threshold level. If the “Auto” button is activated, Limiter
will automatically find an optimal release setting that varies
depending on the audio material.
Parameter Description
Parameter Description
Freq With this setting you can change the focus frequency of
the filter. If the position is higher, only high frequencies are
heard. If the position is lower, only low frequencies are
heard.
Q-Factor This adds a ringing effect to the filtered sound.
