it would be great to have a better distortion in renoise
using tan (x) for nonlinearity
having multiple waveshape for sound design
I’d also like to see upgrades on the distortion module
“using tan (x)…” -> current “soft” mode should be a tan shaper?
“for nonlinearity” -> wat?
“it would be great to have a better distortion in renoise” -> yes!
“having multiple waveshape for sound design” -> exactly, I would recommend trying to add the following features:
-
parabolic mode
-
“soft” rectifier mode (hint, it got to do with parabolic curve behaviour around 0, or even better around the extrema of a sine wave)
-
switching between rectify/normal in any mode (ok, you can just place a rectifier without dc correction before another device)
-
independent positive/negative shaping curves?
-
adjustable dc offset that can be automated and/or removed in the output, that won’t click after being idle for some time like the current dc device
-
proper saturation modes, and if it is just the same formula used on the master bus
-
maybe even graph mode, like you can design your own shaper curves just like you can do in the lfo device
-
this would be very cool!
+1 for a native waveshaper device in Renoise. +2 for a graph mode.

Been asking this for years , a formala device that calculates per sample .
This way you can create almost all kind off waveshaping .
Something like this but native renoise

this the one bread & butter tool i have to use a plugin for, soft clipping is a really useful tool
its my preferred way to tame dynamics and add harmonics to sub bass but the current distortion effect is wayyyy too high gain to use like this.
