1 INTRODUCTION
The Inflator process functions by changing the relative probability of samples in the
programme material such that there is a greater probability of larger values than the
original signal. The Inflator does not employ signal compression, so there is no
‘pumping’, dynamic level change, loss of presence or flattening of percussive
attacks. The full dynamic information of the music content is largely preserved
despite the increase in average modulation density.
In addition to loudness enhancement, the Inflator can create a harmonic profile in the
signal spectrum that not only increases the apparent dynamic impact of instruments
and performances, but also provides ’warmth’ to the programme, reminiscent of
good valve systems. When used in this way, the Inflator even has the ability of good
valve systems to produce great sounding programme when significantly overdriven,
and can therefore be used as an artistic enhancement tool on single performances
within a mix.
