I've looked for this for a while, and assumed this subreddit is the best place to ask, but does anyone know what kind of harmonic content this algorithm adds? For some reason the effect the "analog" exciter in Ozone 8 has on harmonics is not described in the manual for Ozone 8, while all of the other exciter algorithms are. This is probably because the algorithm was new for Ozone 8, but the manual looks like it hasn't been updated since Ozone 5 (at least for the exciter sub-plugin)
And, oddly enough, this algorithm is not contained within Neutron 2 either, and they were released at the same time. I find myself using Ozone for its exciter over neutron's (even on individual tracks) because of the additional exciter algorithms and because Ozone has oversampling.
I have been researching other analog modeled plugins (specifically the ones from waves and slate) and it seems many of these simply introduce "hiss" and saturate the signal a bit. I feel like these would be undesirable for noise floor minimization and overall clarity, so I'm trying to figure out whether this is the case for Ozone 8's "analog" exciter algorithm.
