Audio input/output clipping indicator

[KrizRoring]

Hi,

for my Axoloti guitar pedal interface i'm writing some custom objects, and the next thing on my list is a audio clipping indicator led.

For control signals i'm getting the hang of it, but dealing with the audio signals is still a bit of a mystery for me. What would be a good place to start for this object?

Greetings,

look at the code of the embedded object, that should get you in the right direction

I know this is an old topic, but I wanted a clipping indictor aswell. the object uploaded by lokki didn't work for me, there was just nothing happening, also I wanted a bool outlet to control an led.
so heres my version, it works, you just have to set the clipping level dial and the max of the limit object to the same value.
i know this is kind of a workaround, since the envelope follower will not give out an exact sample value buut it works to give you the idea when the signal is too hot for the axoloti to handle.
for me the LED lights up about 1dB before clipping starts.
