4. nt Shaper V1 x was mid and is the default shape since V2 0 Sharp processes as the name suggests sharper faster attack transients than mid and similarly soft produces softer slower or rounder transients In most cases the mid and soff configurations will be used The Release knob causes the release phase of a sound to be more or less sustained Increasing the Release button to the maximum makes the signal sound totally compressed whereas decreasing the Release button makes it sound gate like leaving only the attack phase present Below the Release knob you find 3 selectable Release Shapes They work just like the Attack Shapes that were described above Sharp is only recommended for individual sounds such as a snare or conga or monophonic synth lines For processing summed material such as summed drums drum loops or polyphonic synth lines soft may be the best choice it sounds most natural i e does not produce much audible distortion Mid is the setting that Transient Shaper V1 x used and is a good all round choice The Drive knob adjusts the level of analog saturation This happens after the shaping process itself As soon as analog saturation occurs the small LED under the saturation knob will turn red The saturation is meant to soften the heads of too sharp transients that are generated when turning the Attack knob clockwise in a manner that the output signal will virtually sound the same but not generate as high
5. peak levels as it would without the saturation The best way of working is to first completely turn off saturation then to adjust Attack and Release including Attack shape and Release shape until the sound appears to be well adjusted Next turn the saturation s Drive knob clockwise until the signal begins to sound distorted and then ease off again by turning it Schaack Audio Technologies Transient Shaper User s Manual 3 4 slightly back again It is of course also possible to use the Drive knob to apply heavier saturation to the signal as an effect The Gain knob can be used to change the gain of the output It is applied after the saturation process keep this in mind The Gain knob has no influence in Bypass mode The Bypass button can be pressed to let the signal through the plugin without processing it Bypass is on when the button points in direction of on Important Notes 1 Holding Shift on your keyboard while turning the knobs with the mouse increases the precision of knob adjustment 2 Clicking a knob while holding CTRL on your keyboard makes the knob jump to middle default position You can use the mouse wheel to adjust the knobs Increasing Attack increases the peak output level 5 Increasing Release does only slightly increase the peak output level and mainly increases the RMS output level of the signal making it louder Aa 5 Resizing Transient Shaper gaining some space By default Transi
