Where to get itAvailable from Image-Lineimage-line.com

Transmitter is a low or zero-latency transient-detection plugin that separates audio into independently processable Transient and Sustain components, enabling precise control over attacks and body/tail of any sound. It splits the input signal into the sharp attack and the sustained, steady-state portions, which can be processed separately or routed to independent Mixer tracks for complete creative freedom. Transmitter supports sidechain input, allowing external signals to drive the detector for creative rhythm and dynamics control.

085-ms lookahead option for click-free separation

Things to Try

  • 01Boost Transient Level and Drive while reducing Sustain Level to make drums punchy and tight
  • 02Lower Transient Level slightly and increase Sustain Diffusion and Time for smooth, atmospheric sustain
  • 03Use a percussion loop as a sidechain input to a sustained sound to create a rhythm
  • 04Set fast attack and long decay on the transient detector for sidechain ducking control
