MolecularBytes has introduced a new audio plugin which gives users detailed control over the attack and sustain of any sound — from punchy drums and percussive loops to complex, layered instruments.
With a focus on precise transient shaping with a clear, intuitive workflow, AtomicTransientMicro allows shaping the energy, impact, and rhythm of a track without losing its musical feel.
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.
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.
