tanh[3]

Instruō

A three-channel analog waveshaper, limiter, overdrive, and feedback controller that applies the hyperbolic tangent (tanh) function to each input signal, producing soft clipping and harmonic saturation.1109

Capabilities 3

Distortion / Saturatorsaturator
Increasing the Level knob drives the input into soft-clipping overdrive/distortion.1109
Limiterlimiter
The tanh transfer function limits signal amplitude as a soft clipper; the module can also be inserted in feedback paths to prevent runaway oscillation.1109
Waveshaper / Wavefolderwaveshaper
Each of the three independent channels applies a tanh transfer curve for soft-clipping waveshaping of audio or CV signals.1109

Jacks 6 (3 in / 3 out)

Parameters 3

NameTypeRangeBehavior
CH1 LevelknobControls the input signal level fed into the tanh circuit; turning clockwise increases waveshaping, overdrive, and soft-clipping intensity.1109
CH2 LevelknobControls the input signal level fed into the tanh circuit; turning clockwise increases waveshaping, overdrive, and soft-clipping intensity.1109
CH3 LevelknobControls the input signal level fed into the tanh circuit; turning clockwise increases waveshaping, overdrive, and soft-clipping intensity.1109
