Shape Your Sound, Your Way
Get control over every hit - atomictransientmicro gives you detailed control over the attack and sustain of any sound — from punchy drums and percussive loops to complex, layered instruments.
It’s your tool for shaping the energy, impact, and rhythm of a track without losing its musical feel.
It focuses on what matters most: precise transient shaping with a clear, intuitive workflow.
Bring life and clarity to your mix
With atomictransientmicro, you can make drums hit harder, shorten or extend the sustain of instruments, and give loops more definition and groove.
Tighten up muddy mixes, bring focus to rhythmic elements, or soften harsh attacks — all in just a few tweaks. It’s perfect for producers, musicians, and sound designers who want to shape sound dynamically and musically.
The unique part: true polyphonic transient processing
Unlike typical transient shapers that only react to single hits or monophonic content, atomictransientmicro analyzes and processes multiple overlapping notes independently.
The underlying technology — a specialized audio source separation developed by us — was first introduced in our plugin atomictransient.
This makes it ideal for polyphonic instruments like guitars, pianos, or complex percussion layers — where notes naturally blend together.
You can shape each note’s attack and sustain individually, without smearing the sound or losing natural detail.
That’s what makes atomictransientmicro stand out in the world of transient tools.
Designed for precision and transparency
Under the hood, atomictransientmicro also uses a frequency-dependent detection engine that lets you focus on specific parts of the spectrum — like tightening a kick, softening a snare, or brightening percussive details.
Each transient is processed with its own dynamic envelope, giving you independent control over attack and sustain timing, length, and level.
A built-in real-time spectral analyzer helps you visualize what’s happening in your signal while you work — making adjustments more intuitive and musical.
Presets for every situation
With more than 180 ready-to-use factory presets, you can start shaping instantly — whether you’re working on drums, guitars, synths, loops, or full mixes.
You can save and organize your own presets, export and share them with others using XML-based copy/paste, browse factory and user sounds through the built-in preset browser with search or use the previous/next preset navigation.
Integration and compatibility
atomictransientmicro works with all major plugin formats — VST, AU, and AAX — on both Windows and macOS.
A standalone version for Windows is also included, so you can test, tweak, or jam without opening your DAW.
Fast workflow, clear feedback
Everything about the interface is designed to keep you in the creative flow.
Undo/Redo, convenient A/B comparison, and a flexible Dry/Wet mix help you dial in your sound quickly and confidently.
Using the integrated MIDI-learn function, parameters can be assigned to MIDI controllers via your host-software.
You can resize the interface, switch between three themes (2 x dark, 1 x white), and make it fit perfectly into your studio setup.
In short
With its polyphonic transient detection, musical response, and flexible workflow, atomictransientmicro gives you a new level of control over the dynamic shape of your sound.
Whether you’re enhancing detail, tightening rhythm, or sculpting tone — you’ll find it’s not just a transient shaper, it’s a creative tool for expression.
