Customize Attack Character

When you want to carefully tweak the punch of your snare, the ricki-ticki-ticking of your hi-hats or the snappiness of a synth line, Transient Shaper is the right tool for the job.

Using a compressor is the most common way of adjusting the dynamics of a sound, but sometimes this can be a bit cumbersome. This is where Transient Shaper shines, giving you very direct control over the character of both the attack and sustaining sections of the sound in a way that's simple to understand and tweak.

Attack - The amount of amplification or attenuation of the transient.
Pump - The amount of attenuation directly after the transient, emphasizing the transient without increasing the level.
Sustain - The amount of amplification or attenuation of the sustained sound.
Speed - Higher values results in snappier transient modification, and lower values result in smoother curves.
Clip - When enabled, the output signal is clipped to 0dB.
Sidechain - When enabled, transients are detected based on a secondary input but the effect is applied to the main input.
