what's the best and most cpu efficient way to clip a signal in an analogue fashion, rather than getting nasty digital distortion?
Have you tried waveshaping? I.e. use your signal as an index to a function (usually stored in a table)? A good place to start would be a stored sigmoid, and then introduce a few small 'glitches' into it to taste.
