6 DISTINCT SATURATION MODELS

DF-XCITE 2 goes beyond the original with six expertly crafted saturation engines, each delivering unique harmonic character:

• American: Balanced and tight with controlled harmonic enhancement

• Vintage: Smooth and warm analog-style saturation

• Extreme: Aggressive and dirty for maximum impact

• Tape: Rounded analog compression with natural warmth

• Tube: Harmonically rich and musical for depth and body

• Amp: Gritty and forward for cutting through dense mixes

Each saturation type can be applied per frequency band, giving you precise control over the harmonic content across your entire signal.

MULTIBAND & SINGLEBAND FLEXIBILITY

DF-XCITE 2 offers two distinct processing workflows to match your creative needs:

• Multiband Mode: Four-band processing with independent Drive, Mix, and Saturation Type per frequency range for surgical tonal shaping

• Singleband Mode: Full-range harmonic enhancement for quick, simple saturation across the entire signal

Switch between modes instantly to move from detailed frequency control to streamlined full-spectrum processing.

INSTRUMENT-SPECIFIC MODES

DF-XCITE 2 automatically optimizes crossover points and frequency distribution based on your source material. Choose from pre-tuned modes including:

• Drums: Metal Kick, Rock Kick, Metal Snare, Rock Snare, Toms, Overheads, Rooms, Drum Bus

• Instruments: Bass, Guitar, Vocals

• Mix Bus: Master Bus for full-mix harmonic glue

Each mode is crafted by chart-topping mixers like Joey Sturgis and Joel Wanasek to ensure optimal frequency targeting without manual crossover adjustments.

LEGACY & MODERN CROSSOVER SYSTEMS

DF-XCITE 2 gives you the choice between two crossover approaches:

• Legacy Mode: Recreates the smooth, forgiving wide crossover curves of the original DF-XCITE for that classic sound

• Modern Mode: Employs sharper slopes for precise frequency separation and cleaner band interaction

The integrated visual analyzer displays your signal in real-time, with draggable crossover points and per-band volume sliders for immediate feedback and control.

STREAMLINED INTERFACE

With a user interface designed to keep you in your creative flow, DF-XCITE 2 improves workflow efficiency, making harmonic enhancement faster and more accessible. The clean layout presents all essential controls in a logical arrangement, reducing the learning curve and allowing you to focus on making your tracks sound powerful and present.

Per-band Drive and Mix knobs provide independent control over saturation intensity and wet/dry blend, while the visual analyzer gives you constant feedback on your signal's frequency content and processing.
