Expander

Dynamics
Apple

Expander is a dynamics processor that increases dynamic range above a threshold level, unlike a compressor which reduces it. As an upward expander, it adds liveliness and freshness to audio signals by expanding peaks rather than compressing them. It's useful for adding punch and separation to tracks that need more dynamic character.
