DS-10 is a transient shaper tailored for drum processing, enabling users to enhance punch and clarity in their drum mixes with ease. The streamlined interface allows precise control over attack and sustain characteristics, while three distinct algorithms deliver a range of sonic textures. Whether working on individual drum elements or full mixes, DS-10 offers specialized modes for kick, snare, and entire drum buses to optimize the shaping process for each context.

The included MOJO processor adds another dimension by allowing transient shaping within selected frequency bands, providing nuanced control over elements such as low-end tightness, midrange body, and high-frequency presence. This feature opens up creative possibilities for detailed sound sculpting, making it easier to balance and enhance drum tracks without affecting other frequency areas. Real-time visual feedback through the waveform window further aids in achieving precise transient adjustments.

DS-10 offers three algorithmic settings to suit different needs: Classic for sharp, raw transient effects; Natural for clean, artifact-free results; and Smooth for a softer, compression-like feel. Additional features include output gain control to manage volume changes and a soft clip circuit that adds subtle coloration and distortion, enhancing the overall character. The bypass function ensures glitch-free toggling, enabling seamless comparisons between processed and raw signals during mixing.
