PWMDrive is a softclipper with offset. I came up with the idea when reading about old tube-amplifiers where the distorsion wasn't symmetrical around zero.
I called it PWMDrive since it can produce sounds similar to a pulse-width-modulated square wave.
The waveshaping function is 1-(1/(1+x)). Actually its like that on positive x, and symmetrical around zero) I'm not sure if this is similar to a "real" tube, but it's ok, if you have any suggestions on different shape-functions, that have similar (or less) cost, please let me know.
An sweet-sounding oversampling option is provided, mainly meant to be used at mixdown-time, since it's rather expensive.
The steps performed are:
Measure the amplitude,
DC-Offset signal depending on amplitude (lfo-controlled),
Gain,
SoftClip,
HiPass (to remove dc),
Gain.

Js magneto:
La simulation de mon vieux magnéto SONY. Un peu plus compliqué à programmer ! !. Pour les nostalgiques de la purée analogique de mon magnéto pourri. Le contrôle du gain permet de plus ou moins amplifier le signal donc de plus ou moins le compresser. Si le signal est trop fort, l’algorithme diverge et le son disparaît. Il reste encore un peu de travail à effectuer sur cette algorithme!!. Réglage haute frequence et niveau de sortie.
Endorphin:
dual-band stereo compressor,
Dynamics processors are essential when recording, mixing and editing music. But when it comes to compressing an entire sum signal, a lot of digital compressors turn out to be unusable, many of them were made to process single-track signals only.
On complex sources they tend to produce a 'pumping' sound, distort or just make your music lifeless. There are manufacturers telling you 'this is the only compressor you'll ever need'. Don't believe them. Sound signals are far too complex to be handled by a single device.
Your music deserves care and attention to details. This applies especially to the post-mixdown stage, often referred to as 'mastering'.
Endorphin is no universal talent either.
It is a specialist for complex sources like a mixdown, after having made minor sonic adjustments and right before burning the track to CD.
Furthermore, it can help to increase depth, definition and loudness of a track.
I call it an 'analog-style' compressor: endorphin uses models like frequency-dependent nonlinear operation, different harmonics creation stages as well as two basic compressor circuits taken from the analog realm.

The Saturator is a FREE plug-in that emulates the non-linear curve of analog tape in saturation. The Saturator can add up to 6dB of gain to the signal to push it into overdrive whereby soft clipping begins. When used properly the Saturator can add that "analog sound" to your tracks or can be used to boost low level signals giving them an "analog edge".
