01Overview

MTransientMB is a transient processor from MeldaProduction built around attack and sustain control. Its multiband core lets you process whole drum kits and other percussive material, with separate bands that can each be shaped on their own. The plugin uses a transient detector rather than a standard envelope follower, which keeps the control set small. MeldaProduction is a developer that also offers a wide range of other plugins with similar multiband and modulation features.

Transient Detection and Sound Character

Unlike common dynamic processors, MTransientMB is based on a transient detector rather than an envelope follower. The developer says this approach needs only a few controls while minimizing audible artifacts.

The multiband core offers 1 to 6 independent bands built on three crossover algorithms: analog, linear-phase and hybrid. Each band has adjustable limits and input gains, and peak meters are shown for every band and the master. Up-sampling from 1x to 16x can be set to reduce aliasing.

Interface, Modes and Workflow

MTransientMB has two user interfaces. The default view offers several predefined modes and a few knobs, so you can start without detailed knowledge of the plugin. The advanced mode exposes the full feature set.

A single randomize button generates new settings. Holding Ctrl makes smaller changes to existing settings. Parameters can be mapped to MIDI controllers with MIDI learn, and oscillators and modulators can sync to host tempo. Presets can be saved and recalled across projects, and the GUI can be resized.
