Transient Plus - A New Sample-Based Percussive Eurorack Module

synthanatomy.com

The Future Retro Transient Plus breathes new life into Eurorack percussion with its vast sample manipulation capabilities and innovative sound design features. With over 400 pre-installed samples and the ability to load custom sounds, the creative possibilities are virtually endless. Its modulation options and vintage character add depth to sound sculpting, making it a versatile tool for both beat-making and experimental sound design.
