DrumXchanger Analog Code

Plug-in
The Transient Designer in the DrumXchanger’s Original module
allows you to process the original signal. You have a fully opera-
tional Transient Designer at your disposal to shape the sound of the
signal as you wish. The processing of the original signal will depend
on whether you plan to mix it or replace it with the sample.
You can either process it so that it fits better with the sampled
signal when mixed together, or you can optimize it so the Trigger
module can recognize it better. Do note that these adjustments
only influence the original signal. The Trigger module is always fed
the same signal as the Original module, except when you depress
the TRIGG. button on the Original module. In which case, the pro-
cessing you carry out with the Transient Designer on the Original
module also affects the Trigger module’s signal.
Transient Designer Processor/Attack
The ATTACK control cuts or boosts a transient attack up to
15 dB. Positive values enhance the attack while negative values
reduce the attack.
Transient Designer Processor/Sustain
The SUSTAIN control cuts or boosts a transient sustain up to
24 dB. Positive values extend the sustain while negative values
shorten the decay.
Trigg.
When the TRIGG. button is activated, the Transient Designer pro-
cessor of the Original module also affects the Trigger module.
This can be very useful when drum sounds are too resonant and
therefore not easily recognizable or distinguishable. This usually
affects toms and bass drums rather than snares. If that were the
case, activate the Transient Designer in the Trigger module for a
more precise processing. If the sound is sharper, recognition can
be more easily achieved. This processing has no influence on the
sound of the sample.
