1.1. The hardware Exciter
The Exciter’s origin story holds that inventor Kurt Knoppel was assembling a stereo amplifier
from Heathkit, a manufacturer of build-it-yourself electronics kits popular with enthusiasts in
the 1970s. He wired one of the two channels incorrectly, such that its vacuum tubes received
far less than the specified voltage. This created distortion, but when a small amount of
this signal was mixed with that from the correctly-built channel, the overall result sounded
clearer and livelier.
The next years would involve making that happy accident more intentional and precise, until
the first marketable concept debuted in 1975 and company president Marvin Caesar joined
the team to develop and market future products. The C2-104 was in fact introduced in the
early 1990s; type C2 (as opposed to just C) added the “Big Bottom” bass enhancement. This
applied a compressor with a high ratio to bass frequencies, then combined the compressed
signal with the original. The intended result was punchier bass with no increase in gain.
The model 104 was an entirely analog effect. It became hugely influential. Today, we take
it for granted that you can technically
distort
an audio waveform for purposes other than
musical
distortion
, i.e. to make it sound better or interestingly different. This principle shows
up in many Arturia effects and instruments in the form of waveshaping, wavefolding, the
subtler algorithms in our Dist COLDFIRE plug-in, the Metalizer in our Brute synthesizers, and
elsewhere. But when the Aural Exciter was new, this phenomenon truly was a “secret sauce.”
1.2. Bus EXCITER-104 feature summary
In fact, we encourage you to use Bus EXCITER-104 like a sauce — just the right amount will
enhance your musical meal, but too much may mean that sauce is all you taste. Then again,
you might be looking to overwhelm or mangle the harmonic profile of a mix or track, and
the Exciter process can do that in a way that is different from any other effect. Here is a list
of key features.
• Perfectly accurate model of Exciter process of original hardware
• Big Bass enhances low end via parallel compression, as on C2 model 104
• Adjustable low-pass frequency and resonance for Big Bass
• Adjustable high-pass frequency and resonance for Exciter
• Big Bass or all frequencies below low-pass cutoff can be summed to mono for
added sonic density
• Big Bass Saturation can add overdriven character if desired
• Output EQ with low and high shelving bands
• Adjustable stereo width of Exciter process
• Interactive Preset browser
• Diverse factory Presets tailored to a broad range of musical applications
• Mix Lock keeps dry/wet mix the same even when changing Presets
Are you excited yet? We are! Let’s see how Bus EXCITER-104 works.
