Soft-clipping signal distortion The overdrive~ object uses a waveshaping function to distort audio signals. It amplifies signals, limiting the maximum value of the signal to +/- 1. Values outside of this range are removed using "soft clipping" somewhat like that of an overdriven tube-based circuit. Cycling '74 MSP MSP Modifiers (signal) Input signal, (float) Drive factor (1, 10) TEXT_HERE (signal or float) Drive factor (1, 10) TEXT_HERE Signal Output TEXT_HERE Drive factor A single number can be provided to set the drive factor. If no argument is provided, the drive factor is set to 1.0. Drive factor Integer inputs are converted to float and set the drive factor. Set the drive factor Integer inputs are converted to float and set the drive factor. The drive factor should usually be in the range 1 - 10. Using a factor of 1 creates a linear response without distortion, and higher values increase the distortion. Values less than 1, including negative values, produce very heavily distorted signals. Use with caution. Set the drive factor In right inlet: The overdrive~ object accepts a floating-point "drive factor". The drive factor should usually be in the range 1.0-10.0. Using a factor of 1.0 creates a linear response without distortion, and higher values increase the distortion. Values less than 1, including negative values, produce very heavily distorted signals. Use with caution, this behavior was originally considered a bug until friends of the object's creator insisted that it should be considered a feature and left intact.) Function depends on inlet In left inlet: the signal to be distorted.

In right inlet: the drive factor as a signal value. The distorted signal.
