12. dist Distortion

Specifies one of two types of distortion and an amount;

  • Positive amounts specify a traditional clipping distortion; the signal is multiplied by 2^value ("two to the power of the value") and any signal above a threshold is truncated to that threshold. These values are indicated by a 'CL' prefix.
  • Negative amounts specify a fold back distortion; the signal is multiplied by 2^value ("two to the power of the value") and any signal above a threshold is folded back to below the threshold. These values are indicated by a 'Fo' prefix.
