Page 6: Tech Talk
Tech Talk In nearly every aspect the Transient Designer is different from conventional Dynamic Processors or Compressors. You don't need to know how the Transient Designer works in order to be able to use it effectively, but if you're at all curious as to what goes on inside the box, read this section while referring to the diagrams. -

Tech Talk Diagram 3 illustrates the shapes of the processed curves with maximum and minimum attack, compared to the original curve from Diagram 1 The SUSTAIN control circuitry The SUSTAIN control circuitry includes two further envelope generators. The envelope follower Env 3 (Diagram 4), again follows the shape of the original curve. -

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 for connection to digital recording systems: Each unit connected to the Transient Designer should be able to handle high input levels. -
Page 9: Control Elements
Control elements The ON button operates a hard-bypass relay circuit to switch the channels in and out of processing. The illuminated button indicates that the channel is active. The unit 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 10: Sustain
Control elements The SUSTAIN control increases or reduces the level of the sustain portion of a signal by up to 24 dB. For detailed informa- tion about the mode of operation of the sustain control please Sustain read the ”Tech Talk” section on pages 8 and 9. Two envelope generators work in the SUSTAIN control circuitry, too. -
Page 11: Connections
Applications There are several ways to connect the Transient Designer to your equipment. One of the most flexible options is wiring the Transient Designer to a patchbay. A console with switchable Connections insert points to prevent audio running through the patchbay when not required would be perfect. -
Page 12: Guitar & Bass
Applications • Corresponding adaptively to the duration of the original signal, the sustain can be shortened more musically than with tightly adjusted release times, effectively reducing crosstalk. • When recording live drums or other instruments on a HD recor- ding system, the Transient Designer prevents time-consuming removing of crosstalk signals on the hard disk. -
Page 13: Power Supply
Applications • Effect sounds and sample libraries benefit from more punch and more power – useful when working on TV commercials or movie soundtracks. Movie Post Pro • Outdoor recordings often suffer from poor microphone posi- tioning. The Transient Designer can help create the effect of re- positioning the mics during the mix. - Page 14 Specifications Input & Output Input impedance .......... = 100 kOhms Output impedance ........< 600 Ohms Max. input level ..........+24 dBu Max. output level .......... +22,4 dBu Minimum load ohms ........600 Ohms Relay Hard Bypass, Power Fail Safety Measurements Frequency response ........
