Distortion Basics | Max/MSP Tutorial

Another great tutorial, clear and to the point.

Love it when there is some genuine math 🙏🙏

Thanks for the Tutorial! Always enjoy these.

this ROCKS. thanks. been diving into max and this is exactly what i’ve been looking for. bravo.

thanks for the paper link! I really hope there will be a [codebox~] operator outside of gen in the future.

Thank you for this great tutorial! Very helpful ❤

Beautiful! Thank you

Great Video!!

I have avoided watching this clip for a few weeks, cuz I thought ‘what’s so great about distorting a signal?’

I am very gradually learning Max/MSP, and am also constantly recovering from ‘cognitive over saturation‘.

This clip has been very useful. It is clearly explained, and well supported visually. Thank you very much!

Never hit sub so fast, amazing content! Question - looking at older MAX threads on distortion, folks talk about using look up tables to save CPU. Can you talk about these methods, especially with some of these more complex calculations?

This was great to watch! Finally a good max tutorial about soft clipping. I loved you went into translating the different formulas to Max. Shows me i got some studying ahead but i'll be looking at more of your video's on Max.
For another video, can you explain how to do these hardclip and softclip functions in Gen? You mentioned it so now i'm curious.
Thanks!

This is an amazing tutorial, thanks a lot. I'm wondering though; is doing these mathematical equations in Max perhaps a bit cumbersome? Aren't there more logical options to write out mathemical equations, perhaps via code, than doing it this way? Not trying to bash on this method at all, just trying to make my way through the dense landscape of DSP and coding and gather some knowledge along the way...
