The input signal goes into a filter (usually highpass, but you can also choose bandpass with Type B) before feeding it into the harmonic generator. You have controls over the generated harmonics using the Color parameter. The signal is then mixed back with the dry signal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"expensiveexciter\"\u003eEXPENSIVE EXCITER\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe original aural exciter algorithm was developed in the mid-1970s by Aphex Systems. At first, it was available to recording studios only to hire (at a cost of $30 per minute of finished recording time in 1975). Eventually, its popularity led to the release of commercially available models like the Type B and Type C.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"systemrequirements\"\u003eSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINDOWS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWindows 7, 8, 10\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVST2, VST3, or AAX (64-bit)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMAC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOS X 10.9 – macOS 11\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVST2, VST3, AU, or AAX (64-bit)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUniversal 2 Binary\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AUDIOTHING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450800074855,"sku":"171041","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/audiothing-type-b_171041_1_845f37a7-1903-458b-9505-3600760cbafc.jpg?v=1787094577","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/audiothing-type-b","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
