01Overview

Knorr is built for bass sounds, but it works on any monophonic source with content in the low mids and below. Its algorithm combines filtering, amplitude modulation and frequency modulation to process incoming audio. The developer says this approach adds overtones that other bass-shaping methods cannot produce. The plugin is available as VST2, AU and AAX on Windows and macOS, with a trial version offered.

03In depth

Sound and Character of the Knorr Exciter

Knorr adds harmonic content to the signal rather than simply boosting level or cutting frequencies. The developer describes the result as overtones that sit on top of the original sound, which can make a bass feel more present and aggressive without changing its fundamental pitch.

Three intensity levels let you choose how far the effect pushes the sound, from subtle enhancement to a more pronounced edge.

Workflow and Controls

The main control is an X/Y pad. You drag a single point across it to find the tone you want, which keeps the interface quick to use during sound design or mixing.

A visual display shows how the algorithm is shaping the signal, so you can see the processing as you adjust the pad. Because it is designed for monophonic material, it fits best on bass lines, mono leads and other single-voice parts in the low mid range.
