Input Scale (morphable)
This is a bipolar parameter. Negative values attenuate, and positive values amplify, the
input signal prior to processing by the Waveshaper. When set positively, this results in a
richer harmonic spectrum. The level increase introduced by the parameter is
automatically compensated for by the Waveshaper.
Given its impact on the harmonic spectrum, Input Scale should be viewed/used as a
timbral control, rather than a level control.
Note: At extreme Input Scale values, processing noise can be introduced at the
Waveshaper output.
Variation (morphable)
The Variation parameter is a bipolar control. Its impact is dependent on the type of
Waveshaper selected.
