NM Shaper

Transient shaper for drums

$12Buy · Soon

More punch, less tail, or the other way around. Attack, Pump and Sustain zones are drawn over the waveform so you see what changes.

Ableton Live 12 Suite, or Live 12 Standard with Max for Live. Windows and macOS.

How it works

Attack adds or removes the punch at the start of every hit. Pump shapes the body right after it, Sustain turns the tail up or down (down to -36 dB) and Speed sets how fast the zones follow each other. Switch on Clip to catch the extra punch before it overloads.

Features

  • Attack, Pump, Sustain, Speed
  • Built-in Clip switch
  • Compact 262 px device
  • Zoomed 4-beat display
  • Native Ableton look, automatable controls
  • Defaults do nothing until you turn a control
