Add tap.overdrive~ — voiced feedback overdrive (kernel bump + full slice)#57
Merged
Conversation
…ice) The spiritual successor to the Jamoma-era tap.overdrive~, not a port: TTOverdrive's memoryless odd-function curves are replaced by the new overdrive.h kernel (tap::tools::od) — a soft clipper inside a lowpass feedback loop, solved zero-delay, chasing the class of TS-lineage feedback pedals (LGW as the listening reference). Bass stays tight while mids take the drive, asymmetry adds even-harmonic warmth, a unity clean path keeps the transfer from flattening, and an always-on DC blocker (R = 0.9997) sits behind the oversampled (default 4x) clipping stage. - submodules/taptools bumped to the kernel commit adding overdrive.h and its Catch2 suite (gain tilt, even harmonics, DC, alias floor, body voicing, stability, determinism). - Wrapper: thin vector_operator with normalized attributes (drive 0..1, body -1..+1, asymmetry 0..1, preamp/output dB, oversample 1/2/4/8, smooth, bypass, mute) and min-api attribute tests. - Vertical slice: maxref reference page, help patcher (attrui-driven, scope + spectroscope), and a bypass-passthrough maxtest starter via make_maxtest.py. - REVIVAL.md progress log updated.

The kernel pin picks up the completed house treatment for overdrive.h (taptools_od_* C ABI + Overdrive ctypes binding, the executed overdrive.ipynb verification notebook, and the two field-guide chapters — book Part VI 'The pedalboard' + the machine deep-dive). REVIVAL.md progress entry extended to match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01S3twSGfwUK8jnUhp5Qx6wx
The kernel PR (tap/TapTools#22) merged via rebase — main's tree is identical to the branch tip this PR previously pinned. Repointing keeps the pin reachable after kernel branch cleanup, per the kernel repo's release flow.
