I have been playing around with my project for a while, and putting a scope on the output I saw that the triangle wave wasn't properly triangular, but in fact almost sinusoidal. I spent ages unhooking modules to try and find out what was causing this, and I narrowed it down to the limiter. Now, I guess if the limiter is working, it should reduce volume, but it shouldn't affect the wave shape should it?? Or am I wrong?

I'm just guessing, but would a soft-knee compressor curve off a wave like that?

It's the soft clipping/saturation used in the limiter that causes this.
Go inside the 'clip and mix' module, you'll see the soft clipper with a true bool connected( which means amount is set to one.) remove the bool and it will turn back into a triangle. 🙂
The saturation is set very high, I think in the case of a limiter it's best to have saturation on a slider so the user can select the amount, it can be very useful to smooth the hard edges created by the limiting.

Ah thanks for that guys, I might just have an on/off switch for the 'soft knee' or 'soft clip'. Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Mike
