ATKTransientSplitter

ATKTransientSplitter free transient-shaper by Matthieu Brucher

ATKTransientSplitter is a free transient shaper VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by Matthieu Brucher. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

ATKTransientSplitter is a mono transient splitter, cutting an input signal into its transient and sustain parts.

The plugin follows the implementation of the transient shaper with a twist explained on Audio Toolkit blog. The parameters are:

  • RMS is the size of the power windows.
  • Attack is the attack time constant for the slow attack/release filter.
  • Attack fraction (or ratio) is the percentage of the attack time constant that will be used for the fast attack/release filter. Used to work on the transient at the beginning of a sound.
  • Release is the release time constraint for the fast attack/release filter (as the release time has to be higher).
  • Release fraction (or ratio) is the percentage of the release time constant that will be used for the slow attack/release filter (as it has a faster release time constant). Used to work on the transient at the end of sound.
  • Threshold.
  • Slope is the ratio, 1 keeping the sustain at a constant RMS above the threshold, higher means that the sustain will be reduced by this factor (swell-like behavior).
  • Softness is an indicator of the harshness of the knee of the underlying swell.

ATKTransientShaper

ATKTransientShaper free transient-shaper by Matthieu Brucher

ATKTransientShaper is a free transient shaper VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by Matthieu Brucher. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

ATKTransientShaper is a mono transient shaper with all the parameters usually hidden from the user.

The plugin follows the workflow exposed here with the following parameters:

  • RMS is the size of the power power windows.
  • Attack is the attack time constant for the slow attack/release filter.
  • Attack fraction (or ratio) is the percentage of the attack time constant that will be used for the fast attack/release filter.
  • Release is the release time constraint for the fast attack/release filter (as the release time has to be higher).
  • Release fraction (or ratio) is the percentage of the release time constant that will be used for the slow attack/release filter (as it has a faster release time constant). Usually set to 100%.
  • Threshold.
  • Slope is the ratio, 1 being the identity, higher than 1 compressing the transient, less than 1 swelling it.
  • Softness is an indicator of the harshness of the knee of the underlying compressor.
  • Color is an indicator of the color around the threshold: positive increases the gain around it, negative decreases it.
  • Quality is the amount of color.
  • Make-up is the gain after the effect.
  • Dry-wet gives the balance between the unprocessed signal and the processed signal.
