About DI Match Technology
DI Match Technology is a proprietary solution that analyzes and manipulates DI signals. It consists of three digital signal processing techniques: Spectral Matching, Level Matching, and Active Pickup Circuit Simulation. These techniques shape the DI sound at the source, allowing users to achieve the desired tone.
Capture the frequency curve and sonic imprint of your instrument in seconds with Toneforge DI Match’s spectral matching. As you play your guitar or bass, the software automatically adjusts the curve until it reaches its optimal state.
Once captured, your DI can be matched to any other DI profile captured or imported into Toneforge DI Match. Get started with one of the included DI profiles from industry leading artists, producers, and the JST team, as well as pink & white noise captures for smoothing.
Once you have matched your Spectral Image to taste, the next often overlooked step that can make or break a tone from the start is achieving nominal gain. Nominal gain is when your volume hits that perfect sweet spot of the amp and other components in the tone. This is where Level Matching comes in. Adjust it to taste, or set it to 100% to match the targeted profile DI profile one to one. It is especially handy when matching a DI to something that has "hotter" pickups.
The Active Pickup Circuit Simulator simulates a real active pickup and allows you to add gain to your DI signal, even if your source is passive! Engage the Active Circuit button and explore the rich tones of an active pickup's internal preamp. You can push your limits even more by using the Gain Knob to give your sound an aggressive and dynamic edge.
With the advanced features of Toneforge DI Match, precision and artistry are at your fingertips.
