AudioThing has released a new plugin inspired by the vintage Aphex Aural Exciter effect, the Type B.

The original unit was designed to add presence and brightness to vocal or instrument tracks. It was often used to enhance dull recordings where the high-frequency content was missing due to tape overdubs.

Type B lets you control more aspects of the exciter circuit emulation, giving you access to the internal filter, the harmonic generator and more.

Type B features

  • Vintage Exciter.
  • HP/BP Filter with Emphasis.
  • Adjustable Unit Noise.
  • Oversample up to 16x.
  • Resizable Window.
  • Preset system with randomizer.

Type B is on sale at a 50% intro discount, priced $29 USD / 29 EUR at AudioThing and distributor Plugin Boutique through March 1st, 2020 (regular 59 USD/EUR).

The plugin is available in VST/VST3, AU and AAX formats.
