it's an ideal case of exp2 approximation then. :) >> still some higher-order harmonics missing, i think. > >Probably, maybe that hard clipper needs writing :( i'm looking at that line-sine max overdrive wave (please find it at quitte.de/wave.ps.gz), and i think it just might work to see its behaviour like this: the longer the wave is on one side of zero, the more energy is built up that tries to push it back. as long as the system is fed enough energy to keep it this side of zero, it is basically decaying exponentially against a (more-or-less) constant value. once the energy input becomes too weak to keep the state on this side of zero, it starts accelerating towards zero and beyond. the longer it stays there, the more energy is built up pushing it back, etc. i am not sure how to do it so it doesn't alias, which i fear a naive implementation would do. your thoughts? tim
