• Synopsis: Type 2 Soft Saturation Clipper
• Category: Distortion, Building Blocks
• Channels: 1
Description:
When the the absolute value of the input signal level reaches the specified
Threshold
(on a
sample by sample basis), Metric Halo Type 2 saturation is applied to the signal. Type 2 saturation
is more aggressive than Type 1 saturation, but still provides relatively gentle, low order distortion
that is applied to the signal symmetrically.
The overall gain through the process block is automatically adjusted so that a full-scale input signal
creates a full-scale output. When the input signal is below the specified
Threshold
, the output
signal is just the input signal with the over-all gain applied, and no additional non-linearity.
MIOSoftClip(2) is useful for applying soft saturation in signal processing loops (for example, inside
a feedback delay line). It is also useful for saturating the output of other processors like the MIO
Compressor and MIO Limiter.
Parameters:
Threshold
[0, 4] samps
Threshold at which the saturation begins to be applied.

• Synopsis: Type 3 Soft Saturation Clipper
• Category: Distortion, Building Blocks
• Channels: 1
Description:
When the the absolute value of the input signal level reaches the specified
Threshold
(on a
sample by sample basis), Metric Halo Type 3 saturation is applied to the signal. Type 3 saturation
is more aggressive than Type 2 saturation, and when driven sufficently hard, can cause audible
distortion, but is very useful in punching up percussive signals, and in softening rarely clipping
signals.
