tubeharmonics

Abstract

A distortion with control for odd/even harmonics

Description

Simulates the behaviour of a vacuum tube circuit stage. Adds odd and even harmonics to the signal. Has flux and program dependent saturation.

A port of REAPER's "Tube Harmonics" jsfx plugin

Syntax

aout tubeharmonics ain, keven, kodd, kfluctuation=0, kindrive=0, koutdrive=0, kgain=0

Arguments

  • ain: the input signal
  • keven: amount of even harmonics (between 0-1)
  • kodd: amount of odd harmonics (between 0-1)
  • kfluctuation: non linearities (between 0-1, default 0)
  • kindrive: amount of input drive (in dB, default=0 dB)
  • koutdrive: amount of output drive (in dB, default=0 dB)
  • koutgain: output gain, in dB (default=0 dB)

Output

  • aout: audio output

Execution Time

  • Performance (audio)
