Warm Mode
This function is basically a slew rate limiter that reduces the
speed of the output amplier stages. This aects the frequency
spectrum, the harmonics and the transient response at the same
time.
Fast transients are slowed down a bit and the overall sound appears
more round and merged. As this function inuences the behavior of the
output stages, the eect it creates has an impact on the complete pro-
cessing results of the compressor.
This way the xpressor oers two dierent sound characters at the push of
a button: the powerful transparency of the discrete class-A circuitry and
the saturated richness of the Warm Mode.
Now the choice is really up to you: For transparent compression and an
even frequency response, just use the xpressor in standard mode. For a
little bit more fat and juicy sound, hit the Warm Mode button and you
are there!
