I've also remade CamelCrusher. Perfect match - even in Bitwig Grid

In one of his latest videos, Polarity rebuilt CamelCrusher, the classic distortion plugin inside Bitwig Grid. I'm trying a different, more analytical approach here, that leads to a nearly 100% copy of the original distortion unit, that you can also build in Bitwig's Polygrid based on these two images: Mech: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v8zn7bkvz22x7xbw0qz9p/CamelCrusher_Mech.png?rlkey=zkwoyek5utfk0em9a10adpt3c&dl=0 Tube: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/57sozlrkw0csip2v10hfv/CamelCrusher_Tube.png?rlkey=gog19yhcipb6vqvy8ptmjkgtx&dl=0 As usual, I'm building the patch in Alpha Forever Modular, but the same mindset will work in any other patcher capable of doing DSP-like stuff. We will analyze the transfer function of the plugin and reproduce each behavior we encounter.
