RackPack: Transient Designer
On
With the ON button you can turn the device on or off. The ON button is
illuminated when the device is active.
Relay hard bypass circuits ensure signals to be directly switched from
input to output in the case power failures – this “Power Fail Safety“
feature guarantees signal flow in any situation.
If you operate a Transient Designer module in LINK-Mode, the ON but-
ton of the master module controls both modules. The LINK and ON
buttons of the Transient Designer module that is currently in LINK
mode will thus be illuminated as well—although they have not been
activated.
For more information on the LINK mode and the fitting of the LINK
cable please refer to “Link Mode”, page 12.
Attack
With the ATTACK control you can amplify or attenuate the attack of
a signal by up to 15 dB. For more information on the operation of the
ATTACK control please refer to “Technology” on page 19 cont.
The ATTACK control circuitry uses two envelope generators. One
follows the shape of the original curve and adapts perfectly to the
dynamic gradient. The second envelope generator produces an enve-
lope with a slower attack. From the difference of both envelopes the
VCA control voltage is derived. Positive ATTACK values emphasize
attack events, negative ATTACK values smooth out the attack enve-
lopes of sound events.
For an extensive description and explanation of the possible applica-
tions of the ATTACK control please refer to “Applications” on page 14
