dist

Performs distortion using a hyperbolic tangent function. dist has the following arguments:

• input: input signal to be distorted
• pregrain: gain applied before waveshaping
• postgain: gain applied after waveshaping
• shape1: shape of the positive part of the signal a value of 0 is a flat clip
• shape2: shape of the negative part of the signal. a value of 0 is a flat clip

The following patch demonstrates how dist can be used with diode to create a squelchy bass sound.
