#saugns v0.5.7 adds the "a.l" ladder effect distortion at last, 2 years after I experimented with it.

There were many things that seemed silly not to have, while adding the le, so I did all those other things first. Including frequency filter for audio generators in general, instead of placing a filter only inside the distortion.

Now a line like this at the top of a SAU script sets a Sega MD-like sound:
"S a.lC a.f2840 c.pf"

I've written a blog article about the #YM2612 ladder effect distortion. This gathers more links and provides a summary of key things I've read.

*Edit* - Added some about ways to vary it from accurate emulation. This includes how to handle signals too quiet for the distortion-pulse to be present; it sounds bad to just have the pure signal then, when the real effect has silence due to quantization. I picked a middle-option between pure and silenced signal.
