Or the (usually soft) clipping can inside the filter itself. This happens e.g. in the 'Moog ladder' filter, where the signal dependent emitter impedances of the transistor pairs act as the resistors in a series of four simple RC filters. The soft clipping that results follows a tanh() law. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
