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!
Waveform Camera

- Capture new waveforms with camera
- Import images from photo library
- Resizable cropping tool
- Mono or stereo audio processing
- Precise sample/second output control
- Interactive playback with loop handles
- Export as .wav files

Waveform Camera turns any image of a waveform—whether it's a photo, a screenshot, or a hand-drawn sketch—into a lo-fi audio file for use in any application that can playback or manipulate 44.1kHz / 48kHz audio wav files. CAPTURE & CROP Instantly capture new waveforms using your camera. Import any image directly from your photo library or files app. Use the resizable cropping tool to isolate the exact waveform you want to process. You can re-crop then re-process at any time. Finger paint a waveform in either mono or stereo. PROCESS THE IMAGE Process your image as a mono or stereo audio file. Define the output length down to the exact sample (from 64 to 220,500 samples - or work in seconds, from to 0.001 to 5 seconds). Our two advanced processing engines normalizes the audio and uses interpolation to render a distinctly low fidelity sound from waveform images (and any other image you want to throw at it!). PLAY, PITCH, & EXPORT Your new sound appears on an interactive playback screen with a visual waveform. Drag the start and end handles to select the perfect loop region. Hear your changes in real-time with dynamic loop playback that updates as you move the handles. Detect the pitch (and re-detect from the selected region), fine tune the pitch, or re-pitch to a chosen note and octave with either spectral resampling (maintains the original audio length) or varispeed to re-pitch by changing the length of the audio. Export your final loop or the entire sound as a .wav file, ready to be dropped into any DAW or music project. Add the audio to the chain list, build a chain then export as a single file with cue markers, or equally spaced audio with padding to a fixed value. Export the chain list as a Koala project file (up-to 64 sounds per project) and continue with the samples directly in the Koala app. Perfect for sound designers, electronic musicians, and audio hobbyists. Waveform Camera is the perfect tool for: - Re-synthesizing single-cycle waveforms from your favorite synths. - Turning a drawing of a filter sweep into a real audio effect. - Discovering new sounds in the world around you. Capture, crop, process, and play. A quirky new sound design tool is here to experiment with.
