Kilohearts plugins work great together, and all the snapins can work double duty as modular components inside our snapin hosts. (This is not available when the snapin is used inside a snapin host.) Limiter is a snapin when using Limiter as a real-time effect on a touchscreen monitor during a live set. This allows you to get a good view of the controls whatever the screen resolution, and also comes in handy if you need big controls, e.g. Resize handle The bottom right corner of all Kilohearts plugins is a resize handle for scaling the UI to any size.

Enabled checkbox The small checkbox to the left of the plugin name is a checkbox that bypasses the effect when disabled. It also has a "randomize" button that can be useful. It opens a settings panel where you handle presets. Settings panel Whenever you have your mouse cursor over a snapin there is a small arrow at the top right corner (not visible in screenshot). VU Meter Displays the current input level, the selected threshold, and the limiter's current attenuation. Release knob The release adjust how quickly the limiter returns the volume back to normal after limiting it due to a peak in the input volume. Threshold knob The maximum allowed volume. Out gain knob Gain to apply to the input signal after limiting. In gain knob Gain to apply to the input signal before limiting.

Whether you want to crank the last drops of gain out of your track or just want to control a few loud peaks, a Limiter can be the weapon of choice.īy looking a little bit into the future, a limiter can make sure your signal never goes louder than you want it to without distorting or destroying transients.
