Driving Ampero is Hotone's innovative CDCM HD (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling High Definition) and F.I.R.E. (Field Impulse Response Enhancement) system. Built on Hotone’s powerful XTOMP platform, acclaimed Binary series, and breakthrough VStomp Amp virtual plugin, the new-gen CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. system showcases Hotone’s new high-shelf circuit modeling methods.
Mainstream modeling methods are generally based on static state circuitry modeling or “black box” theory, which just “come close” to the modeled sound. CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. employs a complex system based on dynamic feature modeling. In this matrix, the technology “rebuilds” the entire circuitry using modeled electronic components, resulting in a tone that is vivid, accurate and expressive. More than that, the new system enhances the relationship between amps and PA systems, delivering a realistic feel and response you’ve never before experienced on digital gear.
Most companies in this world, including us, have been suffered from lack of chips due to COVID-19. To ensure the original Ampero experience, Hotone team redesigned a powerful dual core digital platform with selected components we can find to power up the CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling system, delivering the uncompromising Ampero tone.
● Main Processor - NXP® RT series
A powerful NXP® RT crossover processor is dedicated to the audio engine. With a high clock speed, this processor is a non inferior compared to the Analog Devices® SHARC® DSP loaded in ordinary Ampero units, which makes it easy to handle multiple high quality effect algorithms.
● Co-processor - NXP® RT series
Same as ordinary Ampero units, the Silver Edition features a NXP® RT crossover co-processor, which not only helps processing audio streams, but also powers the touch screen display, USB I/O, and other functions.
