Hmm, I suspect that this sames the cheby unsiutable for what we want, the
output from a guitar appears to be far fronm a sin.
if we normalize the incoming signal, apply the shaper(s), then scale
down, it just might work -- it will get the harmonic mix right at
least.
i'm not up
to understanding all implications of the fact that the
incoming signal is not a pure sine; neither do i have a recipe for
preparing the coefficient tables -- if we scale the individual
coefficients by 1/sum their mix will not match what we want.
I think we should probably abandon the cheby approach for now, this
combined with the freqency dependency problem probably makes it a looser
:(
yep, it doesn't seem to be getting easier the more we look at it.
the above approach could bring us close, but it does need xfading
and two chebyshev shapers.
been thinking about how to do a hard clipper with sinc some more
today, without real results though.
