Warm Mode
This function is basically a slew rate limiter that reduces the
speed of the output amplifier stages. This affects 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 influences the behavior of the
output stages, the effect it creates has an impact on the complete pro-
cessing results of the compressor.
This way the xpressor offers two different 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!
