Klark Teknik’s DN530 Creative Quad Gate features Transient Accenting, which is designed to let users enhance the attack envelope beyond merely opening the gate. This can provide up to 12dB of additional transient energy, and its primary application is to provide additional impact on drums and percussion instruments. It can also be used to enhance the impact of acoustic stringed instruments such as guitar and piano.
