Native Instruments MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 Groove Production Studio (Black) - Manual (Page 596)

Parameter Description
Sustain Prolongs/shortens the sustain phases in your signal. With the knob
at the middle position, the sustain phases are not altered. From this
position, turning the Sustain knob to the left shortens the sustain
phases, while turning it to the right prolongs them.
Limit Activates a hard limiter at the output, preventing the output signal
from clipping. This can be useful when the
Attack knob is set to a
high value as this may produce amplified attack phases which
become too loud.
15.1.4 Limiter
The Limiter does two things: firstly it ensures that the signal level stays below 0 dB, thus pre-
venting digital clipping. But it can also increase the overall perceived volume by reducing the
threshold. It is recommended to place the Limiter in a Master Plug-in slot. However, please
note that the Limiter introduces a small latency.
If this effect is used in a Sound or a Group, it also provides a Side-Chain Input page (in the
Control area and on your controller).
