Well it uses the chebbyshev polynominals ...so pay attention ..cause it can clip easily ..
Anyway , It does give character and subtle or not so subtle effetcs ..
Mouse sweep area for fast editing
Just keep an eye on the 0 db inpustslider

Update added a hard clipper before the cheby polynomial ,so now you can easily crank up the input drive without overloading the cheby shaper.
In other words , it can be used subtle or not so subtle
Update ...replaced the hard clip output for a parabolic saturation .
Also ...input clip amount/treshold is now definable ....

Update , replaced graphics with multidisplay using 512 elements for smooth curves

Pretty cool, I got it working, the first time I heard the word chebbyshev was from a low pass filter that had a super steep cutoff with some ripple in the passband. I always assumed chebbyshev was the guy who designed it. I think it would be cool to modulate the sliders that choose the harmonics with an input signal level sensor. Give each harmonic its own input level sensor with adjustable attack and release times followed by a amount control which could use the existing sliders. Well, gotta love math, that's for sure.

If you play a sine wave throught it at 0db , then every harmonic will introude a new overtone, that's what chebbyshev polynomials do . When you you go beyond 0db , chebby shev will clip because that't the nature of chebbyshev and that's why I inserted a hardclipper so you can go beyond 0db and use it as a distortion unit . If you keep everything at 0db then it functions as a true chebby shev shaper

I'll have to play my bass thru that. From the looks of it, assuming a sine wave input, the math produces an associated harmonic. My guess it is produces the same harmonic at any input level. But if it clips then that's probably not the case. What happens when it overloads, or in reality, "WHY" does it overload. Seems like they use everything below an input of 1 or something. Does it ever produce amplitudes with a dc offset?

This is a fantastic distortion device. I wish I could assign midi CCs to the harmonics sliders (H2-H12). Maybe it's easy to modify? Time for me to learn Reaktor for real I guess.
