Transit 2 is the ultimate multi-FX plugin for adding life and motion to your tracks. Choose between six different motion modes and take control of 28 individual effect modules. Create powerful FX transitions and sweeps, addictive rhythmic patterns, complex sidechain effects – and so much more. Developed in collaboration between Baby Audio and Andrew Huang. The six motion modes: - Macro: Control the movement of multiple effect parameters with one knob to create huge, sweeping transitions. Freely set ranges, directions and slope for each effect parameter linked to the macro to design your transitions with total flexibility. - LFO: Create rhythmic motion effects with a vast array of options. - Follower: Build FX chains that move with your track’s dynamics. - Sidechain: Control the FX movement with a sidechain input. - Gate: Trigger instant FX motion during live performances. - Sequencer: Launch DAW-synced transitions with a click. 28 high-quality effect modules: - Transit 2 comes with 10 new effect modules, taking the total number to 28. Add and move the modules freely around the chain. - The effects include high-quality modulation, degradation and vintage effect options, reverb, delay, multiple filter types – and even synth oscillator and noise generator options for big sweeps. - Each effect parameter can be left static or linked to the motion setup. The ultimate transition designer: - Creative transitions between song parts play a vital role in keeping listeners engaged. Transit simplifies this process into a single plugin, and one knob, which can be automated to control deep FX sweeps. What’s new in v2: - 4 New Motion Modes - 10 New Effects - Options to link Global Mix and Output to the motion. - 582 new presets (951 in total) iOS Version Improvements: - Play View: A view that lets you trigger and control transitions without visual clutter. - Ability to zoom in on individual modules for increased precision. 951 presets and infinite randomization: - Transit 2 includes 951 presets designed by Andrew Huang and industry-leading sound designers. - You can also get creative with an ultra-flexible randomization engine that lets you set specific random-ranges and lock parameters to only randomize certain parts of the plugin. - Prefer to do it all yourself? Transit is a sound designer’s dream and a vast creative rabbit hole. We’ll see you in a few years!
