I understand, thank you @Christoph-Hart

Yeah, normally I'm on the -100db doesn't matter side as well, but not while developing complex distortion fx with multiple stages. I will try the scriptnode tanh for that

great! thanks @orange

Well, there is no ASIO on macOS as far as I know, I think there is no need for that

It’s a distortion plugin from another developer for reference. Not sure how they achieved this. Maybe it’s another dsp algorithm

That's the analysis of the tanh function of the shapefx:

That's the analysis of the tanh function of the result I'm trying to get:

I'm not complaining about anything, just trying to figure out why the analysis differs so much from the second picture. Maybe I'm getting something wrong, sorry for being annoying

I'm trying to implement a routing system to eliminate the self noise of the ShapeFX Module.
I know @Christoph-Hart, I know it's below a certain dB value and shouldn't be a concern, but I can't help it, I have to get rid of it

So what I want to do, is simple - route the shape fx noise (without a signal) to a separate path via the routing matrix, flip the phase and mix it back with the signal that runs through the shape fx module. In theory that should result in a distorted signal without the Shape fx noise.

Now, I can't think of a way to route the isolated noise before the signal hits the module. So, the only way would be to run a second shape fx module without any signal, flip the phase and mix it with the first shape fx (which is used for the signal). But those two modules have different "noise profiles" I guess.

Any suggestions?

Ah, got it. Thanks for clarifying

But if I have 4 different filmstrips with 128x128 and 128 frames it would take up more RAM than one single 500x500 filmstrip. So, if I can avoid filmstrips for simple knobs and buttons I’d use for vectors

No, that’s why I was asking

Yes, that’s true. Makes sense, but I have to find an analyser with the same capabilities as plugin doctor
