Operation Modes
Invisible Limiter G2 has two operation modes. Easy mode is the default mode, only
includes essential controls for final brick-wall limiting. Advanced mode is for experts,
allows full control of the limier. There is no difference in internal algorithm of the
limiter.

Modes can be toggled by square-shaped button at the right top of GUI or “Switch to
[Advanced/Easy] mode” menu.

Controls
Switches

Bypass
Toggles bypass.
When enabled, inverse gain is applied the end of processing path.
Mid / Side
Toggles MS Encode/Decode sub-blocks. When enabled, most of signal path
works for M/S pair instead of L/R pair. Mid/Side processing is effective only in
stereo channel configuration. Under other channel configurations, the state of
this switch is just ignored.
BIAS
Make sound fat/warm a bit.

When lock icon is active (red color), the related parameter ignores preset loading.

Quality

19

Selects processing quality. With higher value, the limiter selects higher ratio of
oversampling process. Actual oversampling ratio and internal frequency are
displayed below.
It's not true that higher values always bring 'good' result. Choose values with your
careful perception.
Mode

Selects current processing mode.

Modern
This mode has been newly introduced in Invisible Limiter G2. Slightly tight
sound.
Modern II
Cleaner and more transparent than Modern mode.
Suppress
This mode is similar to Suppress mode of Invisible Limiter.
Clip
This mode is similar to Clip mode of Invisible Limiter.
Through
This mode is similar to THRU mode of Invisible Limiter.
Gain

Controls gain amount applied before limiting. Six-segment gain button enables
stepwise control in 1dB, 0.1dB, 0.01dB.
When lock icon is active (red color), this parameter ignores preset loading.

This parameter can be operated by MIDI note-on.

Note Number International Yamaha Operation
66 F#3 F#4 +1dB
65 F3 F4 -1dB
68 G#3 G#4 +0.1dB
20

67 G3 G4 -0.1dB
70 A#3 A#4 +0.01dB
69 A3 A4 -0.01dB
Ceiling

Sets threshold which the output signal should not exceed. You can set this control to
lower value if you use the limiter in tracks or buses. 0.00dB is not recommended
when using dither.


Wet Mix

Controls mix ratio between input signal and processed signal. Can be used to
configure parallel compression.

When this control is set to except for 100%, the limiter enters ‘Compressor-Style’
because it cannot guarantee nonexistence of peak exceeding in output signal.


SC HPF

Controls cutoff frequency of high-pass filter inserted into internal envelope detector
chain. This feature can be used to exclude bass frequency from peak detection, or to
configure the limiter as a de-essor.

21

When SC HPF is enabled, the limiter enters ‘Compressor-Style’ because it cannot

guarantee nonexistence of peak exceeding in output signal.

DC Cut

When LED-style lamp is lighting, the limiter applies a high-pass filter to input signal.

Shape Controls

Note: Output indicator shows ‘N/A’ when auto-black is working, because output
bit-depth detector is placed after auto-black processor.
Deterministic Noise Source

Checked
All dither instances generate a same dither noise sequence after playback.
This enables to get exactly same result beyond multiple bounces of same
source, same range.

This behavior might not be achieved depending to DAW’s actual plugin
initialization implementation.

30

Appropriate for single dither instance situation, such as final dithering in
mastering.

Unchecked
Every dither instances generate different noise sequence.

Appropriate for multiple dither instances situation, such as summing and
outboard output preprocess.

31

Stereo Imager D

Controls

Bypass

Meters
Phase Meter

Phase Meter displays processed signal in Lissajous style.

33

Backward Compatibility

Older versions of Stereo Imager D had a bug in its processing algorithm, that the
frequency range above 1/4 sampling rate (e.g. 11025-22050Hz under 44100Hz
sampling rate project) doesn’t get processed.

By turning off this menu, the new (bug-fixed) algorithm becomes active. This menu is
ticked by default, thus the plugin uses old algorithm for compatibility.

Introduced in version 1.7.4.

SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007
—————————————————————————————

PREAMBLE

The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide development of
collaborative font projects, to support the font creation efforts of academic and
linguistic communities, and to provide a free and open framework in which fonts may
be shared and improved in partnership with others.

The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and redistributed
freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The fonts, including any derivative
works, can be bundled, embedded, redistributed and/or sold with any software
provided that any reserved names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and
derivatives, however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any document
created using the fonts or their derivatives.

DEFINITIONS

“Font Software” refers to the set of files released by the Copyright Holder(s) under
this license and clearly marked as such. This may include source files, build scripts
and documentation.

“Reserved Font Name” refers to any names specified as such after the copyright
statement(s).

“Original Version” refers to the collection of Font Software components as distributed
by the Copyright Holder(s).

“Modified Version” refers to any derivative made by adding to, deleting, or
substituting—in part or in whole—any of the components of the Original Version, by
changing formats or by porting the Font Software to a new environment.

58

“Author” refers to any designer, engineer, programmer, technical writer or other

person who contributed to the Font Software.

PERMISSION & CONDITIONS

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of the

modified and unmodified copies of the Font Software, subject to the following
conditions:

1) Neither the Font Software nor any of its individual components, in Original or
Modified Versions, may be sold by itself.

2) Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled, redistributed
and/or sold with any software, provided that each copy contains the above copyright
notice and this license. These can be included either as stand-alone text files,
human-readable headers or in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields
within text or binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.

3) No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font Name(s)
unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding Copyright Holder.
This restriction only applies to the primary font name as presented to the users.

4) The name(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) or the Author(s) of the Font Software shall
not be used to promote, endorse or advertise any Modified Version, except to
acknowledge the contribution(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) and the Author(s) or with
their explicit written permission.

5) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole, must be distributed
entirely under this license, and must not be distributed under any other license. The
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any document
created using the Font Software.

TERMINATION
