[PD] tips

[bsaylor at macalester.edu]

You can do some interesting distortion using a transfer function.  I've
attached an example patch with a sort of tube-like transfer function.
Also, you might be interested in LFO_noise~ from iemlib for random
modulation, and using a compressor such as zexy's limiter~ (which can
dirty a sound if you put some rough reverb through it).
