TLs-2095 Limiting Amplifier increase gain by limiting the signal with a pumping/saturated character depending on pressure/release settings.
When raising the input knob the volume will slowly drop ca 6-8db in the beginning due to the fact that the limiter stage is using ca 7db soft limiting where this is to prevent overshoots on the output to get a kind of “one knob” action. (using less than ca 70% pressure can produce overshoots anyway). Minimum pressure will require compensation on the output knob since the attack/ratio will let through more of the signal.

Input gain upwards.
Pressure (a mix of attack/ratio)
Release1 , the over all release time
Release2 , controls the “overload” portion of release1 where fast envelope moves will be suppressed.
Adjustable output with clip indicator, to compensate gain changes caused by the limiter.
Soft/Hard mode button, ‘Soft’ mode will polish the envelope curve to minimize artifacts that would be obvious on vocals ect (using more CPU)
Low Punch mode button, control an allpass filter centered around 200hz, allowing the transients to pass before the low end and thus giving a feeling of more “clicky” or “punchy” sound (IF a low end is present that is).
Stereo Link mode button to preserve stereo field. ‘normal’ will merge the left/right input signals and only process the audio on one channel. (using less CPU). ‘HQ’ will process both left/right channels and then join the outgoing envelope curves. (using more CPU)
