Harmonical: A crazy instrument which uses spherical harmonics to modulate the vertices of a sphere. These vertices are then used to generate waveforms for a simplistic additive synthesis engine. Uses opengl to display the modulated spheres (one for every voice). Pretty high cpu usage due to the need to re-calculate 1024 vertices 100 times a second though.

Exciter - An Aural Exciter
Based on hardware units, this plugin creates extra high frequencies based upon what's already there in the upper mids. This is done by applying a gentle distortion (clipping) to the upper mids, such that the harmonics generated add to the high-frequency components of the signal.
Try this on drum overheads, hi-hats, flute or whatever you fancy really.
One word of warning, the effect is very addictive. Gently does it!
Controls:
CutOff - Signals above the Cutoff frequency will be processed
Drive - The amount of distortion applied to the signal (you need less when CutOff is low)
Amount - The amount of processed signal applied.
Please note. This plugin does reduce the overall signal level very slightly when amount/drive is low. This is so that the unit does not provide 'too much' signal back to the host application.
