Page 4: Introduction
Introduction The T is a RANSIENT ESIGNER revolutionary Dynamic Processor based on level- independent sound proces- sing that makes it possible to radically change the attack and sustain characteristics of any musical sound in a crea- tive way. Transients can be accelerated or slowed down and sustain may be prolonged or shor- tened. -
Page 5: Operation Safety
Packaged in a standard 19 " EIA format and occupying 1U (44,45 mm) of rack space, the T RANSIENT a standard rack, but it is recommended that the rear of the case be supported, especially in touring applications. The T should not be installed near units which produce strong ESIGNER magnetic fields or extreme heat. -
Page 6: Connections
Connections (–) (+)/ GND/ Wiring: Before connecting the T RANSIENT connected units. The T is fitted with XLR-connectors for balanced RANSIENT ESIGNER operation.The following illustration shows the pin-wiring: Pin wiring: XLR input 1 = GND, 2 = hot (+), 3 = cold (-) To ensure optimal signal quality, SPL has developed a new hybrid- component balanced input/output stage using all laser-trimmed resistors with a tolerance of 0.01%. -

Page 8: The Sustain Control-Circuitry
Tech Talk Diagram 3 illustrates the shapes of the processed curves with maximum and minimum attack, compared to the original curve from Diagram 1. Diagram 4 illustrates the original curve and both envelopes generated for processing the sustain period.The envelope follower Env 3 corresponds to the original curve.The sustain of Env 2 is extended. - Page 9 Tech Talk Diagram 6 illustrates the processed curves with maximum and minimum sustain compared to the original curve from Diagram 1. Prevent overload Important advice when connecting to digital recording systems: Each unit connected to the T should be able to RANSIENT ESIGNER handle high input levels.

Page 10: Control Elements
Control elements Active Signal-LED The ACTIVE switch operates a hard-bypass relay circuit to switch the channels in and out of processing and a status LED indicates that the channel is active. The unit also switches to relay hard-bypass automatically in the case of a power failure, either on the primary or secondary side of the power supply, or when the unit is turned off at the POWER switch. -
Page 11: Sustain
The ATTACK control circuitry incorporates two envelope genera- tors. One follows the original curve while the second produces an envelope with a slower attack period (Diagram 1, page 7). The difference (Diagram 2, page 7) between these envelopes results in a voltage that controls the VCA, boosting the transient for a period equal to the duration of the original transient. -

Special care has gone into the design of the power supply of the . The power supply is the heart of any electronic RANSIENT ESIGNER system, and the better it is, the better the whole system works. In an audio system, this translates into better sound quality, lower noise and lower distortion. -
