The Sony Transient Modulator is an application that allows the dynamic level of signals to be modified by the transients in the program material over time. The effect is to bring transient events in the program forwards, or push them into the background, so that the attacks of instruments can be accentuated or softened depending on settings.
The application was developed to address the common situation where there is a need to selectively tighten up percussive instruments or soften the unwanted percussive effects of acoustic musical instruments. Such effects are easily achieved with the Transient Modulator because its purpose-designed adaptive processing acts on differential information in the program, so that the overall long-term program level is minimally affected and sensitivity to control parameters is drastically reduced.
