SKnote Snap CM [WiN, MacOSX]

Brighten or dull the attack and sustain of your sounds with Snap, a unique transient exciter plugin created exclusively for CM by software perfectionists SKnote. Their other analogue-flavoured creations include the console-emulating Stripbus, tape saturator Roundtone, and the mighty MCAudioLab EQ1passive equaliser.

Snap detects your incoming transients (or attack) and allows you to apply two intelligently-linked filters to your signal. You can add brightness to a snare or hi-hat's crack, tame a drum group's spikiness, or soften a piano's sustain without blunting its attack.

Features and uses:

'Hit' and 'Body' knobs to treat attack and/or sustain for precise dynamic sculpting
Brighten or dull transients independently of the signal's sustain
Great for shaping drums, percussion, guitars, groups or mixes
Transient metering and value readouts
Clear, compact interface
32-/64-bit PC VST
32-/64-bit Mac AU/VST
