Process Name:
MIOHardClip™
Synopsis:
Adjustable Threshold Hard Clipper
Process Types:
Building Block, Distortion
Channels:
1
Description:
Applies a hard clipping threshold to the input signal. The Threshold specifies the absolute level at which the signal will be clipped. If the absolute value of the signal (on a sample by sample basis) is greater than the level specified by Threshold the output will be set to ± Threshold (with the sign determined by the sign of the input sample).

This is equivalent to the hard clipping that occurs when a fixed point signal hits full-scale, with the addition that you can adjust the level of the clipping point. This is not musically useful by itself, but it is very useful in combination with other basic processing blocks.

Parameters:
Threshold [0, 4] samps
Sets the linear sample value at which the input will be clipped.

Master Bypass {On, Off}
Disables the clipper and passes the signal through untouched.
