[[file:Distortion_OS.png|300px|right|thumb|The default screen of distortion and volume control seen on OS]]'''Distortion''' is an audio effect that was implemented in the test server in November 2021 before being fully released in its present state in January 2022. It is found under advanced settings and is typically used to give a harsher timbre to instruments. It can also be used to change one instrument to mimic another, like adding distortion to a flute to make it sound more like strings. This second use is mostly specific to Online Sequencer. | [[file:Distortion_OS.png|300px|right|thumb|The default screen of distortion and distortion volume control seen on OS]]'''Distortion''' is an audio effect that was implemented in the test server in November 2021 before being fully released in its present state in January 2022.

This is not to be confused with audio distortion or hard distortion caused by a sound exceeding the threshold of the speaker causing an increase in harsh harmonics. Generally speaking, hard clipping/distortion should be avoided as it is hard on the hearing and could potentially lead to hearing loss. | This is not to be confused with audio distortion or hard distortion caused by a sound exceeding the threshold of the speaker causing an increase in harsh harmonics.
