1.2.4 Implementation of the soft clipping
In analog synthesizers, particularly on Bob Moog’s synthesizers, the resonant filter as the VCA
uses a current limiting function, preventing the signal from being too loud (soft clipping).
TAE
®
reproduces this current limiting function, making the sound more natural. It also allows
filters to enter self-oscillation like original hardware synthesizers do.
