Overview
The term "Soft Saturation" is used for feature in Lavry AD converters which is a digital emulation of analog tape saturation. The main application is for peak level control to allow higher average levels; or "hotter levels." Advantages include total lack of change to the signal quality below the "saturation threshold" and the lack of "attack and release" time constants found in limiters and compressors.
