Overview

Ozone’s Exciter module offers up to four bands of configurable saturation with numerous modes giving you the ability to customize how saturation is introduced into your music.

Exciter Module Interface

  • Module Header
  • Views
  • Controls

    • The Exciter module header includes the following controls:

    Exciter Module Header

  • View Selector: See the Views section below for detailed descriptions of the different meter views.
  • Channel Processing Modes: Selects the channel processing mode used by the Exciter.
    • The Exciter supports Stereo and Mid/Side mode.
    • See the General Controls chapter for more information.
  • Learn: Enables automatic crossover point placement. When active, crossover points will be moved to minima detected in the frequency spectrum of your track. When crossovers have been set to their ideal frequency values, Learn will automatically disable itself. Note: Learn is not available in single band processing mode.
  • Reset: Returns all module controls to their default values.

    • Views

    You can toggle between the different Exciter views using the view selector buttons in the module header area.

    Crossover Spectrum

    All multiband modules in Ozone support up to four processing bands. All multiband capable modules are single band by default. You can create new processing bands and manage multiband crossovers in the Crossover Spectrum view. Note: crossover cutoff frequencies are not shared or linked across multiband modules in the main Ozone plug-in.

    Crossover Spectrum View

    Adjusting Crossovers

    • Add band: Hover your cursor over the crossover spectrum view and click the + button to add a new crossover point.
    • Enable/disable band: Click the power button to enable/disable processing in the associated band.
    • Solo band: Click the S button to isolate playback of the associated band.
    • Remove band: Hover over a band in the crossover view and click the x that appears to remove the band.
    • Adjust crossover cutoffs: Click and drag a handle to adjust the crossover frequency. You can also double-click on a crossover handle and enter the value manually in the inline edit field that appears.

    Post Filter

    Displays harmonic highlights that represent the saturation being applied to your signal across the frequency spectrum. You can adjust a high-shelf filter that affects the wet (processed) output of the module to tame any high frequency content that may have been introduced by the module’s processing.

    Post filter view

    The affected frequencies on the spectrum are indicated by a bright white fill. Non-affected frequencies on the spectrum will not display a fill color. The histogram display is calculated after the Post Filter is applied. Adjusting the Post Filter will update the histogram display to show the saturation occurring at the output of the Exciter module.

    Controls

    The Exciter module includes the following controls:

    Exciter Controls

    Oversampling

    Increases the sampling rate of the applied distortion to reduce aliasing. This option applies to all bands.

    Oversampling and CPU

    Oversampling utilizes more processing power to increase the quality level of the Exciter module.

    When enabled, adjustments made to a control will be linked and applied to all other bands by the same amount.

    Modes

    Select one of the egg cider’s different modes to find the sonic characteristic that fits your in your mix. You can choose between the following Mode options:

    • Analog: Emulates the sound of transistor type odd harmonics giving a driven grit to your audio.
    • Retro: Based on characteristics of transistors, with a slowly decaying row of odd harmonics.
    • Tape: Offers a brighter sounding saturation, due to the odd harmonics found when saturating analog tape.
    • Tube: Characterized by its clear “tonal” excitation with an emphasis on dynamic or transient attacks.
    • Warm: Generates only even harmonics that decay quickly.
    • Triode: Modeled after a tube circuit for realistic analog warmth. It uses one half of a tube circuit for a subtler overdrive than the Dual Triode mode.
    • Dual Triode: Models a full circuit using a vacuum tube, introducing more pronounced overdrive with a warmer tone.

    Amount

    Controls the amount of the harmonic excitation for the associated band.

    Mix

    Controls the amount of processed signal that is blended back into the unprocessed signal.
