AudioEffectDistortion

Inherits: AudioEffect < Resource < Reference < Object

Adds a distortion audio effect to an Audio bus.

Modify the sound to make it distorted.

Description

Different types are available: clip, tan, lo-fi (bit crushing), overdrive, or waveshape.

By distorting the waveform the frequency content change, which will often make the sound "crunchy" or "abrasive". For games, it can simulate sound coming from some saturated device or speaker very efficiently.

Enumerations

enum Mode:

  • MODE_CLIP = 0 --- Digital distortion effect which cuts off peaks at the top and bottom of the waveform.

  • MODE_ATAN = 1

  • MODE_LOFI = 2 --- Low-resolution digital distortion effect. You can use it to emulate the sound of early digital audio devices.

  • MODE_OVERDRIVE = 3 --- Emulates the warm distortion produced by a field effect transistor, which is commonly used in solid-state musical instrument amplifiers.

  • MODE_WAVESHAPE = 4 --- Waveshaper distortions are used mainly by electronic musicians to achieve an extra-abrasive sound.
