http://www.schaack-audio.com/transientshaper4.jpg - Makes your sound louder, gives it more expressiveness and more punch - Ideal for individual or summed drums/percussions shaping - Unique two-knob manipulation characteristics, not obtainable with any other type of gear - Processed sound ranges from gate-like to compression-like - Excellent Gate replacement (sounds smoother than a gate) - 3 different Attack shapes and 3 different Release shapes - Saturation for cutting off and smoothing too high transients (generated when using strong Attack) - Resizable GUI (minimized by clicking in top left corner) - Low CPU Usage (typically less than 1% on half-decent systems)
