Limiter/Distortion:

• 

Patching complex audio signals through 

tanh[3] 

will result in signal 

boosting, limiting, and distortion. 

• 

Sounds such as kick drums, bass patches, and chordal pads work 
particularly well. 

• 

The effect is sonically similar to compression but achieved through 
waveshaping as opposed to gain reduction. 

• 

Increasing the

 Level 

will introduce soft clipping distortion/overdrive.
