ColorCopy saturation knob

[midi_transmission]

Does anybody find that this knob makes a hearable difference? I see in measurement that it adds distortion, but it's very difficult to hear at all in music signals. I played also with higher input of course.

I would like to have more range that it actually does something to the signal that matters.

i no longer have it installed , but i seem to recall , from the public beta ,
that the saturation works in conjunction w/ the input gain ...

[midi_transmission]

Yes it does. As said before I tried it also with higher iinput gain.

so you did ...

i really need to read more carefully , before i speak ...

[midi_transmission]

No problem.

Also don't forget that it's a delay, so tonal changes will reveal themselves over time with longer tails. You'll find that once you let the delay breathe a little and give it time, the variations between the colours or between no saturation and lots of saturation will become very clear.

Ah that's possible. Good hint. I indeed used mostly very short delay times on dense material most of the time. A bit more extreme setting would be cool nevertheless.

This!
This is one of my favorite aspects of Colour Copy. Let the tails ring! The degradation can get extreme...and that's a good thing to me I particularly like to use it with piano sounds to provide contrast between the original piano notes and the degrading repeats.

After using it like this it works quite nice. I missunderstood what saturation does on ColorCopy. It is just in the feedback path. The used color also makes a big difference how the distortion sounds.

My wish to have a bit more extreme knob settings to get faster to high saturation remains. But now I think of it more as a nice to have than an essential wish.
