Clip-a-me
Added 2022-07-10 20:30:43 +0000 UTCClip-a-me is a free max4live designed and built by Aval.
It's a Soft Clip device with various clipping function to choose from.
It's ready to use, just choose a function and turn the "THS" dial down to start clipping your sound. Try to experiment with different function and listen how it will change the distortion from one to another: you’ll see your audio stream in the scope and the threshold clipping it; the two shapes bottom left are standard clipping (white) and soft clipping function in use (red).
IMPORTANT: The scope only works with Ableton 11
- THS: Clipping threshold
- Function box: Various type of clipping function
- Digital: digital clipping with no soft clipping function
- Tanh: hyperbolic tangent, adds a tube-like saturation
- Sinusoid: sinusoidal clipping curve, adds a subtle saturation
- Exponential: Exponential function based clipping function, creamy and clean
- Cubic1: type 1 cubic clipping curve, very clean
- Quadratic: quadratic clipping curve, even cleaner
- Cubic2: type 2 cubic clipping curve, alternative to type 1
