743 Subtle Distort

Adds small amount of distortion to signal.

PAUs: 1
Use Subtle Distort to apply small amounts of distortion to a signal. The distortion characteristic is set with
the Curvature and EvenOrders parameters. Increasing Curvature increases the distortion amount while
EvenOrders increases the asymmetry of the distortion, adding even distortion harmonics. The distorted
signal then is sent through two one-pole lowpass filters and added to the dry input signal. The lowpass
filters can reduce any harshness from the raw distortion operation. The Dry In/Out is provided as a utility
to audition the distortion signal in the absence of dry signal. Out Gain and Dist Gain can be adjusted
together to match the level of the bypassed (dry only) signal. Adding distortion to the dry signal will
increase the output level unless Out Gain is reduced.
