What’s New in Transit 2?

This isn’t just a rehashed update—it’s a total reimagining of the original Transit concept. Four new motion modes and ten fresh effects modules give you all the tools you need to get creative. Here’s what’s new:

  1. Motion Modes for Dynamic FX
    Transit 2 introduces five ways to control your effects chain:
    • LFO Mode: Use cyclic modulation to create continuous rhythmic movement.
    • Envelope Follower: Generate dynamic effects that respond to the volume of your audio.
    • Sidechain Mode: Apply effects based on the dynamics of a secondary input signal, perfect for rhythmic ducking or glitch effects.
    • Gate Mode: Trigger tempo-synced transitions live with just a click or MIDI input.
    • Macro Mode: One knob to rule them all—sweep multiple parameters at once for complex risers, filter sweeps, and washouts.
  2. 28 Effect Modules, Including 10 New Ones
    Whether you’re looking to build subtle textures or chaotic glitch effects, the new modules in Transit 2 give you the flexibility to push your mix in new directions. Some standout new additions include:
    • Looper: Create stuttering loops synced to your host tempo.
    • Retroverb: Add warm, vintage-style reverb straight out of the ’80s.
    • Mod Filter: A multi-frequency filter for swirling, rotary-style sound effects.
    • Analog Chorus: Lush modulation that expands your soundstage with a retro vibe.

With randomization options and over 838 presets designed by Andrew Huang and other leading sound designers, Transit 2 ensures producers of all levels can dive in right away.


Key Features in Action

Transit 2 doesn’t just shine in the studio—it’s also a beast for live performance. Gate mode lets you trigger transitions in real-time, making it easy to jump between sections during a DJ set or live gig. You can map it to a MIDI controller for even more hands-on control.

The new sidechain mode goes beyond simple compression—imagine controlling delays or filter effects using a kick drum input, adding pulse and motion that syncs with the heart of your arrangement. Meanwhile, the sequencer mode locks transitions to your DAW grid, ensuring perfect timing with minimal effort.
