| Device Type: | Audio Effect |
| Description: | Four clipping algorithms, Hard, Soft, Tube and Fold, each with a distinct harmonic character. Input/output metering, Link mode for level-consistent drive, and ±24 dB on both stages. Ableton Live 12 required. Ableton's Saturator can clip, but clipping isn't what it was designed for. PS Clip is a dedicated stereo clipper built as a Max for Live audio effect, with four algorithms that each produce a genuinely different result. Hard clips at a brickwall ceiling, strong odd harmonics, punchy and direct. The right choice for transient control on kicks and snares. Soft uses a tanh saturation curve to round the signal gently toward the ceiling, producing smooth analogue warmth close to tape and transformer saturation. Tube uses a polynomial function to approximate tube-amp colouration, warmer and more coloured than Soft, with a different harmonic balance. Fold wraps the signal back on itself using a sine wavefolder rather than clipping it, generating complex even and odd harmonics that shift character significantly as you push the drive. Input and output gain cover ±24 dB each. Link mode automatically sets the output to the inverse of the input, so you can sweep drive amount without loudness bias getting in the way of your judgement. The meter display shows pre and post-clip signal levels at a glance. Looking for more? PS Clip Pro adds a real-time scrolling peak visualiser with separate colour-coded zones for pre-clip level and clipping excess, four ADAA quality modes (Raw, Clean, Smooth and Ultra) for alias-free clipping at any drive level, and zero-latency processing with full multi-instance isolation.
