quietformat releases Transient Control, a free transient shaper plugin

quietformat has announced the release of Transient Control, a transient shaper designed to balance attack and sustain with a musical and minimalist design. Best of all, it's available as a free VST plugin. At the heart of the plugin is a single main knob. Turning it to the right brings out the sustain of a sound while smoothing its initial attack. Conversely, turning it to the left emphasizes the attack and shortens the sustain, adding punch. This simple workflow allows for quick and intuitive dynamic shaping. For more detailed adjustments, a few secondary controls are available. The Sensitivity control adjusts the transient detection circuit to better match the response to the source audio. The Smooth control changes its character depending on the direction of the main knob; when boosting sustain, turning Smooth left makes the sound softer, and when boosting attack, turning it right achieves a similar softening effect. Finally, a Drive knob adds a touch of subtle saturation to increase presence and density. quietformat mentions that at extreme settings, with the main knob at -100 and both Smooth and Sensitivity at maximum, the plugin can produce a 'velvety yet tight tone' that distinguishes it from typical transient shapers. Transient Control continues quietformat's design philosophy of 'minimal instruments for maximal emotion,' following previous releases like MELTONE and the Auralis Series. Key Features: Single knob control for balancing attack and sustain. Sensitivity control to fine-tune transient detection. Context-aware Smooth knob for character adjustments. Drive control for adding subtle saturation. A powerful tool available as a free VST. Price and Availability This free VST plugin is available to download now from the quietformat website.
