Flash is the core of Quantum, but they don't do the same thing at all.
The algorithm inside Flash is the one that's use in Quantum to automatically detect transients without the use of a threshold control.
For anyone interested, check out Quantum here:

downloaded for mac...
...v1.0.1...???
still doesn't work in logic: no sound if set not to 0 (attack and/or sustain)
funny: it not only does not work but it also stops any audio (with a loud click) (also of other tracks)
that's with v1.0.1 - the one i got a few minutes ago...

Updated automatically through the plugin (it downloaded 1.01) and that one does not yet work. Sustain knob immediately kills the audio output.
EDIT: Downloaded the 1.02 update from the website and that one works! Sustain knob now does what it is supposed to. However, 1.02 "finds a new update" even though this is the latest.. so now I have a spinning update icon going. No biggie though.

Same thing here.. latest version 1.02 has the constant spinning update wheel. That said, this sounds great!

I put this up against spL Transient Designer Plus, Newfangled Audio Punctuate, and Eventide Split EQ.
Flash performed the best. Totally natural sounding with no artifacts.

probably the update calling homewants to connect to flash-wavesfactory.s3.amazonaws.com
and then:
there is a more detailed littlesnitch info, with IP adress etc, that i've sent you just nowSuspicious process!
The code signature of the process has a formal error. This probably indicates that somebody is trying to pretend a valid code signature, or that the developer used inappropriate, non-standard tools to create the signature.

I compared the two, the attack and sustain are comparable (KhS a little more aggressive), but the clipper is where I noticed a big difference. The KHS when clipped a fair amount added audible distortion (on a drum bus). Flash stayed clean without break up. I like them both for those two reasons.
