Attackease gets a mono input (i.e. a drum mic track) and separates the incoming audio in two tracks, attack and sustain, with selectable threshold and time constants.
Attack and sustain can be processed separately and then re-combined.
A limiter for the attack and a compressor for the sustain are included.
Really different from a compressor, any external processor can be used to further process attack and sustain.

Features:

• Analysis, attack, sustain and MIDI sections.
• Automatable threshold (for accurate triggering).
• Separate attack and sustain compressors.
• Internal or external sidechain with internal sidechain filter (for a more accurate triggering).
• MIDI output on trigger (with selectable channel and note number).
• Separate outputs for attack and sustain (for further processing).
