    Yeah, I am literally asking whether there is any VST which can synthesize natural sounding transients.
    I know what transient is and the pitch envelope trick to make one out of any sound in sampler but it usually does not sound natural, punchy and it is thin.
    I wonder how some drums have strong transients like the transient knocks compared to other synthesized transients ( Notice I have compared transients alone aside from decay and sustain of drums )
    Really what makes a transient tick? What is behind it? Please share some useful information.
    Most of youtube is copy paste nowadays. Everybody saying the same thing and doing exactly the same thing. Have not found anything about the specific question I am currently asking.
    If you use any processor please provide reason.
    Like someone comes and says "Use transient shaper" and I am like, "Dude, transient shaper only improves what's already there!", I am asking about synthesizing transients, then somebody else comes and says why not sampling one!
    Please note that I am asking about synthesizing transient!

    I mean if you're dead set on NOT sampling or NOT transient shaper, there's a kick synth here http://gudaaudio.com/kickr .

    You can synth transients like delta functions but they won't sound natural.

    Zynaptique UNCHIRP has a mode where it attempts to synth-up new transient based on the material it's hearing. It's mainly intended for lossy encoded audio which have lost a lot of definition, which this algo tries to fix up by faking some transients and high end. Naturally it's far from sounding natural, but it's a different flavour, might be useful to you.
