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!

Description
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.
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.
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.
Activates a hard limiter at the output, preventing the output signal from
clipping. This can be useful when the
this may produce amplified attack phases which become too loud.
Attack knob is set to a high value as
