saturator "curves"
ok so on a lot of distortions/saturators the sound is determined by a "curve" that you change the shape of.
Can anyone explain how this actually works and how to interpret the curve, coz currently i pretty much just set random points anywhere.
Haven't seen any topics on this before so thought I'd ask...

it's been a while, so you may want to check up on this...
x-axis = incoming amplitude values
y-axis = outgoing amplitude values
dependant on the "curve" of the saturator/waveshaper, an incoming sample (like, the little kind, not the amen break you keep in a folder which is made up of thousands of little samples) is pinged for its amplitude value along the x-axis ("indexing"), and output at a new amplitude designated by the value of the curve at the y-axis
there's probably more to it than that

hey thanks for the reply. that kinda makes sense. so, its all to do with amplitude? nothing to do with frequency...?
could anyone else shed some light on this?
