Dynamics Plug-Ins : Smack! : Smack! Controls and Meters : Smack! Distortion Control

Smack! Distortion Control
When enabled, Distortion adds subtle second-order and third-order harmonic distortion to the output signal.
*   
Odd harmonics produce waveforms that are more square-shaped and are often described as “harsh” sounding.
*   
Even harmonics produce waveforms with more rounded edges and are often described as “smooth” sounding.
The amount of distortion that Smack! applies to the input signal depends on both the level of the input signal and the amount of compression being applied.
Odd
Applies mostly odd (and some even) harmonics to the distortion.
Even
Applies mostly even (and some odd) harmonics to the distortion.
O+E
Applies an equal blend of odd and even harmonic distortion.
*
The Output control has no effect on the level of distortion applied to the signal.
