Transporter

Image-Line

Where to get itAvailable from Image-Lineimage-line.com

Transporter is a realtime relooping effect that triggers loops based on transients detected in the incoming audio. It analyzes the signal to identify transient peaks and dynamically generates evolving loops with stereo spreading and tempo-synced control. Parameters like Sensitivity, Spread, and Bouncing rate allow fine-tuning of transient detection and loop behavior, with both automatic and manual triggering via waveform display.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Transient-triggered relooping with visual waveform editor (960000 samples, ~20-22 seconds)
02Dual loop channels (A & B) with independent Min Length and A/B Ratio control
03Four triggering modes: Auto, Bouncing, Adaptive, and Tempo-synced
04Probabilistic and Deterministic loop characteristics with Reverse, Shift, and Ignore parameters
05Stereo spreading with static panning or dynamic LFO auto-pan (0-10 Hz)
06Sidechain input for external trigger sources
07Accelerating/decelerating loop length via Bouncing Rate
08Lookahead for click prevention with option to disable for crisp transients

Things to Try

  • 01Try deselecting Lookahead when working with extremely fast transients that may be smeared due to fast volume ramping; this can result in a crisper sound, especially with noisy loops where discontinuities may not be noticeable
  • 02Use odd versus even ratios in the A/B Ratio parameter to experiment with different groove and rhythmic characteristics
  • 03Set Spread slider left of center to enable dynamic panning with a sine wave LFO ranging from 0-10 Hz for auto-pan effects, or move right of center for static left-right panning
  • 04Use Probabilistic Mode to generate constantly varying Loop sounds with randomized characteristics, or switch to Deterministic Mode with automated Flush button resets for more predictable repeating patterns
