Ok, well, i didn't expect that many replies! <br>I have tried Martin's patch, it sounds great. I have also tried the help patch with chebyshev polynomials, which sounds amazingly close to the old Roger Mayer Octavia (the one Jimi Hendrix used, as on Band of Gypsys). I mean, I was really surprised to hear how close the two sounds are. So that's a very cool thing for me to know!<br>
<br>Now please, could someone tell me how this works? Like this tan distortion, this table that switches from 0 to 1 with a variably soft transition, what is this supposed to model, and what does it do to the raw waveform? I'd like to try the sigmoid function but i don't really understand the way the whole thing works. <br>
Also, i'm assuming the size of the table matters. Miller's Chebyshev table in the help patch is 129 points wide, i guess the sound would improve if i made it larger, wouldn't it?<br><br>This is all very exciting for me right now! I always thought distortion could not be properly modelised, but the stuff i've tried today sounds pretty good to me.<br>
<br>Thanks!<br><br>Pierre<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/9/12 Kim Cascone <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kim@anechoicmedia.com">kim@anechoicmedia.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
couldn't locate the Smeck.pd download on the link posted for Miller's page<br>
but here is the direct link in case you couldn't find it:<br>
