Here you can see just some of the ways to enter and edit sequence data, and further manipulate sequences into something new."

Future Retro Transient Quick & Dirty Jam

Published on Aug 4, 2017

"All sounds are being generated by the two Transients, and in some cases further processed by the Echophon, Morphagene, or Clouds.

I recently put together this smaller eurorack system for a couple Transients, and included quite a few of the newer modules to see how they all get along. The Malekko Voltage Block and Varigate8+ are an excellent match for triggering and sending CV's to the Transients. The MakeNoise Echophon and Morphagene provide some cool granular effects, delays, and pitch shifting, and the Clouds is used to add some reverb and ambience at times. Very happy with this setup, and I've only began to scratch the surface of possibilities."

Futureretro Transient

"The Transient takes a different approach to generating drum sounds, and the results it produces are really quite unique.

More than 400 samples are the basis of sound in the Transient. These samples include sounds from classic drum machines as well as modern drum and percussion sounds from the XS and UDS (an unreleased product of ours).
The voice architecture in the Transient is unique in that it allows plain old samples to really come to life, and sound natural with variations, and response to dynamics and other control voltages.

Although designed to recreate single drum instrument voices, the Transient can sound as though entire beats or loops are being generated. More than just a sample playback module, the Transient really is a well featured drum voice synthesizer, including two sample voices, loads of AM/Ring/Sample/CV modulation possibilities, voice crossfader, mixers, dynamics and multimode filter sections, and even digital effects.

The Transient comes loaded with more than 250 Preset instruments to get users going immediately, and provides 40 User locations to store custom Instrument settings to."
