28: Exciter
An exciter adds harmonics (overtones) to emphasize a
specific frequency region, adding sparkle and defini-
tion to the sound. It is most effective when applied to
solo instruments such as electric guitar or lead synth,
and will push the sound into the foreground.
For example if when playing in an ensemble (whether
using the iS35 by itself, or in a band with other instru-
ments) you have ever felt that the iS35 sound you were
playing tended to be smothered by the other sounds or
by instruments other people were playing (unlikely,
since the iS35 is a powerful-sounding instrument with
plenty of presence!), you might try using this Exciter
effect.
28: Exciter
processes the signals of the left and right
channels independently.
A two-band shelving equalizer is provided for each
channel.
29: Enhancer
The enhancer effect emphasizes the sound by adding
harmonics that increase the clarity of the sound and
give it greater definition. A short phase-inverted delay
is applied to each channel, giving the sound greater
spaciousness.
29: Enhancer
processes the left and right channel sig-
nals separately.
The signals are sent through a two-band shelving
equalizer before the exciter effect and delay effect are
applied.
Dry:Effect balance
DRY,
B1…B99, FX
Set the balance between the
direct sound (DRY) and the
sound processed by the effect
(FX). With a setting of DRY, the
effect will be turned off. With a
setting of FX, only the flanger
effect sound will be heard. Other
settings set the proportion of the
direct sound and effect sound.
D
Harmonic density
–99…+99
Specify the density of the har-
monics. As this value is increa-
sed, the exciter effect will be
deeper. Negative settings will
attenuate the harmonics, produ-
cing a thinner sound.
H
S
Hot spot
1…10
Specify the center frequency
that will be emphasized by the
exciter effect. Harmonics will be
added around this frequency.
Higher settings will raise the fre-
quency at which the emphasis
occurs.
L
Equalizer low
–12 dB…+12
dB
Set the amount of boost or cut
that the shelving type equalizer
will apply to the region below 1
kHz.
H
Equalizer high
–12 dB…+12
dB
Set the amount of boost or cut
that the shelving type equalizer
will apply to the region above 1
kHz.

Dry:Effect balance
DRY,
B1…B99, FX
Set the balance between the
direct sound (DRY) and the
sound processed by the effect
(FX). With a setting of DRY, the
effect will be turned off. With a
setting of FX, only the exciter
effect sound will be heard. Other
settings set the proportion of the
direct sound and effect sound.

D
Harmonic density
1…99
Specify the density of the harmo-
nics that will be added to the
signal. As this value is increa-
sed, the exciter effect will be
deeper.
H
S
Hot spot
1…20
Specify the center frequency that
will be emphasized by the exciter
portion of the effect. Harmonics
will be added around this fre-
quency. Higher settings will raise
the frequency at which the
emphasis occurs.
S
W
Stereo width
0…99
Set the proportion at which the
delayed signal of each channel
is added to the output of the
other channel. Higher settings
will widen the stereo image of
the delay effect.
T
Delay time
1…99
Set the basic delay length. Both
channels use the same delay
time.
L
Equalizer low
–12 dB…+12
dB
Set the amount of boost or cut
that the shelving type equalizer
will apply to the region below 1
kHz.
H
Equalizer high
–12 dB…+12
dB
Set the amount of boost or cut
that the shelving type equalizer
will apply to the region above 1
kHz.
