- True bypass control routing the incoming signal direct to the output for a smooth transition between clean and processed signal
- Transient Amount – Adjusting the Bitter/Sweet setting for decreasing or increasing the transients.
- Transient Integration – Provides three different modes of transient processing; Fast, Medium and Slow
- Period – For setting the range of the time window used to detect the transients that will be processed.
- Three different Operation Modes (Main, Center, Stereo) offering versatile transient processing.
- Open Sound Control Support
Compatibility
As simple as just turning a knob
Turning the knob to Sweet side reduces the transients which commonly decreases any transient-rich percussive sounds in the mix, and turning the knob to the Bitter side magnifies the transients which commonly increases any transient-rich percussive sounds in the mix.
Multiband Features
Using a built in M/S Encoder/Decoder the Mid (Center) or the Side (Stereo) parts of the sound can be processed independently.
- Main – processes using regular stereo signal scheme and it’s the only available mode for multichannel operations
- Center – engages the internal MS encoder and processes only the Mid channel. After processing, the sound is decoded back to stereo (useful for snare/kick drums)
- Stereo – engages the internal MS encoder and processes only the Side channel. After processing the sound is decoded back to stereo. (Efficient for panned rhythmic instruments)
