Bus Transient is an effects plugin from Arturia, designed for shaping the attack and sustain of drums, percussion and full mixes. Instead of reaching for a compressor, you can add punch to a kick, tame a harsh snare, or glue a drum bus together with a small set of focused controls on your Mac.

Key Features

  • Dedicated controls for transient attack and body/sustain
  • Designed for drum buses, individual drums and percussive material
  • Simple interface that encourages quick, musical decisions
  • Useful for adding punch or softening overly sharp transients
  • Runs as a VST, AU and AAX effect plugin in 64-bit Mac DAWs

FAQs

Is Bus Transient part of a bundle?

It is one of the effects in Arturia's FX Collection range and may also be available on its own. Check Arturia's store for the current bundle and single-plugin options.

What is a transient shaper used for?

It changes how sharp or soft the start of a sound feels, and how long it rings, without simply turning the volume up or down. It is a common fix for flat drums and a creative tool for tightening loops.
