a. Big Bottom
®
- What It Does
For bass instruments, it dynamically enhances the
low end by deepening and expanding the bass tones
according to an adaptive process. It’s not just boost.
The effect protects speakers while it extends their
bass producing capability. For acoustic instruments
it “brings out the box“. In other words, it adds a
warmer tone that makes the instrument sound bigger
and fuller. For guitars, it gives you another dimension
of expression at the lower end of the scale. It’s not
a synthesizer of any kind. It takes what is there and
enhances it intelligently.
Lo Tune
Sets the upper frequency limit for bass enhance-
ment. Enhancement occurs for all frequencies below
this point. The operating range of this control is opti-
mized for your Xciter model.
Lo Blend
Mixes in the amount of Big Bottom effect you want
from zero to the maximum available.
b. Aural Exciter
®
- What It Does
This is the real and original Aural Exciter especially
optimized for musical instruments. It can variously
be described as adding “air”, “bite”, “definition” or
clarity to the sound by smartly creating and manip-
ulating the harmonics of sound waves. As you will
experience, no other “Exciter” has the musicality of
the true Aphex Aural Exciter.
