SPL Transient Designer 4 Mk2 Dynamic Processor

Whether it’s adding additional punch to a kick, softening attack on piano, increasing thickness or decreasing sustain to blend a rhythm guitar track into the background, the Transient Designer can assist individual elements with finding their perfect position on within any soundstage.

Introducing TD4 Mk2
From 2023, SPL's Mark Two variant of the Transient Designer features a new black anodised faceplate, upgraded housing and PCB and aluminium milled knobs for even better feel.

Simple Controls, Remarkable Results
The Transient Designer features 4 individual channels, each with two simple potentiometers for attack and sustain. The attack knob can be adjust either to sharpen or soften transients, while the sustain knob controls the length of signal decay.

With just these two powerful controls, elements can be brought into the foreground with harsher attack and lower sustain, or blended further into the background by upping sustain and lowering attack to soften the source's transients.

A Uniquely Dynamic Power-Tool
Using the Transient Designer on individual sources allows control over its dynamic properties without the necessity to lean on traditional compression. This enables an elevated level of control of the transients as well as the element’s overall character.

Used in stereo linked mode, the Transient Designer can also be used as a thickening or sharpening agent for entire productions from the mix bus.
