The Importance of Transients
All music contains transients of some kind, whether it’s drums, percussion, guitars, or piano to name a few. Being able to boost or cut these transients gives you unprecedented control of an instrument’s presence and weight in a mix. With the Envolution plug-in, you can easily make a snare snap to the foreground, or add presence and/or distance to drums, piano, guitar, and more.
Two Sections — Total Control
The Envolution plug-in offers Transient and Sustain sections, each with its own set of Attack, Hold, and Release controls. This amount of fine tuning gives you a wide variety of uses — from subtly cutting down room ambience on drums and guitar to completely re-imagining signals with extreme envelope shaping.
Frequency-Dependent Tweaking and More
Both the Sustain and Transient sections feature a FREQ control that offers Tilt or Focus EQ modes. Tilt is perfect for more gentle envelope shaping whereas Focus mode provides a band-pass or notch response for more precise control. The Envolution also features a Warmth function that adds harmonic richness while also preventing output signal overload and a Mix control for added versatility.

Works even at extreme settings
I have used a competition version with more options but even the slightest of increased attack settings produced nasty clicks with that one . Envolution sounds good even under extreme settings which is what I use it for occasionally especially on Bass and Drums. The EQ could be a bit more flexible as far as I'm concerned. Great plugin to deal with boominess/muddiness in Console from the get go.

The goat
This Just replaced any other transient designer I had. Makes them all sound like Toys!
M. Ranauro
honest
if you need to use transients in a surgical way, from a cello to a ruined Drop Edm(!) , you should probably use Envolution. I am convinced that I have used my money wisely. Uad and Sonnox are a nice combination. Michele Ranauro (close friend of a singing horse, hired on Midjourney by mistake )

Awesome alternative to Spiff, SPL, Smack Attack etc etc etc. It certainly has its own flavour and definitely deserves a place in my tool box!

Surprised By the Results
I used this plug-in on drums to tame transients. I was amazed by the results. Nothing else has done the job like the Oxford Evolution! Great tool to have in your tool belt.
R. Walsh
Great on Midi Drums
The best thing I have ever tried to make midi drums sound real. I use Groove Agent since it is part of Cubase. I use Envotution on all my snares, kicks and hats. The difference in night and day. Works well on other instruments put for drums it is a must

ESCULPE TU SONIDO!!
Tengo varios diseñadores de transientes y me resignaba a no adquirir este. Pero como tal es el más completo de todos y no me arrepiento de tenerlo entre mis principales herramientas.
