I’m checking ideas for the new clipper now. Here’s some pictures.
First, check the difference in harmonics between good clipper and bad one. The input signal is 1 kHz sin wave and the processing is -6 dB hard clip.
Next, how the wave looks:
Now I try to show the difference:
And this is 2 images combined:
The difference almost unseen. But can you hear it?
The one clipper was GClip with oversampling off and the second one is my new clipper.
Thanks a lot for downloading, interest, discussions and donations for Molot plugin. I hope this is not my last plugin

Honestly, if you release a clipper plugin as good as MOLOT is, count me in ! Instant gratification
. Any word about how it’s coming along these days ?
The clipper doesn’t sound as good as I want to be but I’m working on it
Yep, sure that good things take time, and great things even more
. Keep us posted.
You say “First, check the difference in harmonics between good clipper and bad one.”
Which is the good one?
This post is already outdated
The right answer: both clippers sound sucks!
The idea was in the following. There’re 2 types of aliasing inside clipper. The first contains harmonics not filtered by LP filter in downsampling. The second contains harmonics of aliasing inside oversampling because clipping makes a lot of harmonics. I thought I developed the way to remove harmonics on 2nd type but their level is too low to be noticied in practical hearing.
My latest actual idea is the next. I think I developed criterias when clipping can be heared as some bad noise but not as harmonics. The idea is to implement such a clipper. I working on it now as part of limiter.
