Another feature request: add hard clipping mode

[paterpeter]

Hi Vojtech,

I have another feature request: I'd really like to see a hard clipper in addition to the soft clipping/saturation plugins - basically, I'm looking for a 64bit replacement for GClip. Maybe a hard clipping mode could be added to the current saturation plugins (MMultiBandDistortion/MLimiter) which now only provide soft clipping: If the signal goes above a given threshold, clip it to the threshold.

Sometimes I want to shave off some piercing transients by a few dB, especially before limiters to reduce pumping.

Regards,
Andre

Hi Andre,

you can use MWaveshaper or MMultiBandWaveshaper for it .

Hi,

I thought about MMultiBandWaveshaper again and indeed it can be easily done there. I only wanted to have one control (threshold) and I managed to do that in MMultiBandThreshold by creating a multiband parameter that increases the input gain while decreasing the output gain. It seems to work great.

Thanks for the inspiration

Andre

Edit: is there a way to visualize the strength of the input signal of a band instead of the output signal?

What is MMultiBandThreshold ?

Haha, sorry, I was a bit in a hurry today. I meant MMultiBandWaveshaper, of course.

Aaaha . Ok now - the input signal level is available on the easy screen only I'm afraid.
