Clipping indicator?

Actually excitation is usually performed saturation of some kind. And this is always dependent on the input level. Imagine a good old tape - for small levels the signal was represented more or less accurately. But when you reached the limit, the tape cannot handle it anymore, so simply put for say 10% increment in level, it was able to add only 5%. This is what is called nonlinearity and that's what's known for adding higher harmonics. So it is level dependent.

I'm curious about the level independent saturation though... hmmm... interesting will check it out, it cannot be performed correctly though, so just some form of approximation...

For saturation I already had in mind the tape analogy which is pretty intuitive. It was just new to me that excitation is in the same category. Thanks for the explanation.
