Hi,
I've got a lot further in making my tape delay.
I am currently trying to implement saturation in my patch.
Basically what i've done is written the value of tanh to a table, i am outputting this through a number of daisy-chained subpatches called satmod2.
It isn't really working giving no sound or really heavily distorted/superbitcrushed output.
Is there a way I can remedy this or a better way i can implement saturation in the patch.
'Tape delay user interface' is the open file.
Thanks

run the entire signal through the saturation process. you don't need the 'dry' signal at all.

also, i don't really understand why you have a chain of 4 saturation stages? 1 should be enough.

Thanks for looking at the patch. I've tried running the entire signal through the saturation process, but i'm not getting any different results, i may be doing something wrong. Do you think you'd be able to post a demonstration of how it should be done in the patch? I thought the 4 stages of saturation would be a good idea, it may be overkill though. Thanks

sorry! i am not at my pd computer for a week or more. If you're lucky someone else might have a look at it for you. But i think if you break it all down logically, you have a good chance of figuring it out.

good luck, and again, sorry i can't get the patch going right now.
