Analogue Character and Sound Sources

Excite Audio says the instrument combines the drift of real analogue oscillators with saturated circuitry. The sound library is grouped into seven preset categories: basslines, experimental, full arrangements, high energy, low energy, melodic and rhythmic.

Each preset category targets a different kind of production, from upbeat electronic material to slower, atmospheric pieces. You can also import up to 112 of your own samples and swap them at any time.

Workflow: Macros, Sequencer and Effects

The Main Page gives you 14 sample keys, eight banks and four macros labeled Tube, Age, Circuit and Expand. Five modifiers, including half-time, double-time and reverse, change how triggered samples play.

The Edit Page holds sample editing controls, a sequencer for layering one-shots and looping phrases, and three rearrangeable effects: modulation, reverb with Plate, Hall or Spring modes, and delay with Stereo or Ping Pong modes.
