#X text 99 226 This patch demonstrates how nonlinear distortion (also
known as "waveshaping") can create difference tones from a pair of
sinusoids. The sinusoids are initially tuned to 225 and 300 Hz \, a
musical fourth \, and have amplitude of 50 percent (0.5) so that the
sum is always less than 1 in absolute value. At these settings the
"clip~" object passes its input through unchanged.;
#X text 100 344 If the amplitude rises above 50 percent \, the clip~
object starts altering the signal nonlinearly \, and the result is
no longer as if the two sinusoids had been processed separately. Instead
\, they "intermodulate" \, finding a common subharmonic if one exists.
At 300 and 225 Hz \, the subharmonic is at 75 \, two octaves below
the upper tone and a twelveth below the lower one. Change the frequency
of the second tone and you will hear a variety of effects.;
