Transient Master

 

The Transient Master allows you to emphasize or attenuate the transients of your audio materi-

al by modifying the envelopes of every attack and sustain phase. Unlike other dynamic effects
(compressors, limiters…), the Transient Master does not use the input signal level to decide

when to come into effect (no threshold) but rather affects all parts of the signal. This retains
the musical character of your sound while keeping operation simple and intuitive: Adjust the

desired amount of accentuation for the attack and/or sustain phases and you’re all set!

The Transient Master in the software.

Parameter

Description

Depth

Input Gain

Adjusts the level of the input signal. This allows you to offset the overall
level once you have set the desired effect, in order to counterbalance the
gain or loss of level that might occur.

Attack

Sharpens/softens the attack phases in your signal. With the knob at the
middle position, the attack phases are not altered. From this position,
turning the 

Attack

 knob to the left softens the attack phases, while turning

it to the right sharpens them.

Sustain

Prolongs/shortens the sustain phases in your signal. With the knob at the
middle position, the sustain phases are not altered. From this position,
turning the 

Sustain

 knob to the left shortens the sustain phases, while

turning it to the right prolongs them.

Limit

Activates a hard limiter at the output, preventing the output signal from
clipping. This can be useful when the 

Attack

 knob is set to a high value as

this may produce amplified attack phases which become too loud.
