Exciter
An exciter is very useful to give a sound a certain character, or to add presence, or "air", in the sound. The
integrated exciter will allow you to make these changes.
•
Exciter
: Switch the exciter ON or OFF.
•
Gain
: Control the quantity of effect applied to the sound.
•
Freq
: Control the center frequency of the exciter. For example,
presence for guitar is usually found at 2 or 3 kHz. Air can be
added by placing this frequency at 6 or 8 kHz.
10.3
Comp
Using a compressor will reduce the dynamics of your sound, control transients and can also be used to
create special effects, like pumping. The parameters of the Torpedo compressor are equivalent to a
standard studio compressor.
•
Compression
:Turn the compressor ON or OFF, and when ON,
indicates the level of compression applied to the signal, in dB
scale.
•
Threshold
: Controls the signal level above which the compres-
sion occurs.
•
Ratio
: Control the ratio of the compression.
•
Attack
: Control the attack time, in milliseconds.
•
Release
: Control the release time, in milliseconds.
•
Make-up Gain
: Control the make up gain added at the output of the compressor.
