MIOSoftClip Type 2
• Synopsis: Type 2 Soft Saturation Clipper
• Category: Distortion, Building Blocks
• Channels: 1
Description:
When the the absolute value of the input signal level reaches the specified
Threshold
(on a sample
by sample basis), Metric Halo Type 2 saturation is applied to the signal. Type 2 saturation is more
aggressive than Type 1 saturation, but still provides relatively gentle, low order distortion that is applied
to the signal symmetrically.
The overall gain through the process block is automatically adjusted so that a full-scale input signal
creates a full-scale output. When the input signal is below the specified
Threshold
, the output signal
is just the input signal with the over-all gain applied, and no additional non-linearity.
MIOSoftClip(2) is useful for applying soft saturation in signal processing loops (for example, inside
a feedback delay line). It is also useful for saturating the output of other processors like the MIO
Compressor and MIO Limiter.
Parameters:
Threshold
[0, 4] samps
Threshold at which the saturation begins to be applied.
Master Bypass
{On, Off}
Disables the saturation and passes the signal through untouched.

MIOSoftClip Type 3
• Synopsis: Type 3 Soft Saturation Clipper
• Category: Distortion, Building Blocks
• Channels: 1
Description:
When the the absolute value of the input signal level reaches the specified
Threshold
(on a sample
by sample basis), Metric Halo Type 3 saturation is applied to the signal. Type 3 saturation is more
aggressive than Type 2 saturation, and when driven sufficently hard, can cause audible distortion, but
is very useful in punching up percussive signals, and in softening rarely clipping signals.
The overall gain through the process block is automatically adjusted so that a full-scale input signal
creates a full-scale output. When the input signal is below the specified
Threshold
, the output signal
is just the input signal with the over-all gain applied, and no additional non-linearity.
MIOSoftClip(3) is useful for applying soft saturation in signal processing loops (for example, inside
a feedback delay line). It is also useful for saturating the output of other processors like the MIO
Compressor and MIO Limiter.
Parameters:
Threshold
[0, 4] samps
Threshold at which the saturation begins to be applied.
