[PD] tips

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi Ben,

I looked at your very nice distortion patch. Is it intentional that
multiplication adding and clipping takes place in this order? If gain
is != 1, the clipping in the result is not symmetrical. I changed it
to clip before the adding and multiplication to keep the symmetry, but
maybe that's not what you intend?

Yours,
Orm
