i do not know exactly what happens inside an exciter, but it has something to do with controlled distortion. A short frequencyband is chosen (like 5 kHz or 7 kHz depends on your material) and or even or uneven harmonic partials (i don't remember which ones. One of them sounds terrible, the other sounds great) are created upon this small frequencyband. These "new" frequencies are mixed with the original in low volume, so the original sound that was dull before becomes alive and sparkling. It sounds great when using it upon vocals in a band when mixing, the voice gets a lot more presence without any volume changes. I build one in the 1988 but that's hardware, i want it to use with ardour.
