Function Changes the volume of a sample

Parameter Amplification (P1) This value controls the amount of amplification. MaxVol After a clicking this button, the current source will be scanned and the maximumamplification without clipping will be calculated.the result will be entered into Par0 and modulation will be set to "None". Wrap Choose how to handle clipping. The modi below are available : NoClip: don't care Clip : overdriven values are clipped Wrap1 : overdriven values are pushed into the opposite side until they don't clip anymore. Wrap2 : overdriven values are overturned (folded) until they don't clip anymore. Just give it a try. Take a long sinewave and slowly overdrive it.

Notes Percussion sounds (bassdrums,snare,drums,...) can be lifted a bit (ca. 120 %). This'll produce the typical overdrive effect, by clipping sample data (vertically). The amount of amplification without hitting the ceiling hard, can be estimated taking a look at the min-and maxlines in the samplewindow. This operator can also be used for amplitudemodulation, creating further possiblities for sound synthesis. For example, make one sine wave with normal period and another with double. Let the one sine be the source and the other sine be the modulation waveform with User/ Normal set. Set Par0 to 0 and Par1 to 100. Generate this and take a close look (with zoom maybe?:) at the result.
