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.

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.
