Audio effects node
Limiter
A brick-wall ceiling that catches anything above the Threshold and prevents it from getting louder, with In/Out Gain to drive it harder or make up level.
What it does
Limiter is an audio effect: it changes the sound that flows through it. It takes audio in and gives audio out.
Inputs and outputs

- audio audio
Outputs
- audio out
Controls
Every control with a range can be driven by a modulator, a note, an audio level or a sketch.
| Control | Range or options | Default |
|---|---|---|
| threshold | -30 to 0 | -1 |
| release | 5 to 1000 | 100 |
| in gain | -12 to 24 | 0 |
| out gain | -24 to 12 | 0 |
