Chris Dorman has announced the upcoming release of a new transient designer effect plugin for macOS.
Built around a custom DSP core engineered for ultra-precise transient control, the shaping algorithm of Dortran responds dynamically to each incoming signal, allowing surgical adjustment of both attack and sustain without introducing harshness or artifacts.
Built for music producers, sound designers, and mixing engineers, Dortran offers intuitive controls to shape the attack and sustain of your audio with surgical precision.
Dortran features
- Intuitive transient shaping with real-time visual feedback.
- Independent attack and sustain control.
- Mid/Side processing mode for stereo precision.
- Innovative “Cockpit” UI for efficient tweaking.
- Ultra-low CPU usage, ideal for large sessions.
- High-resolution support (up to 192kHz).
- Designed for drum shaping, vocal snap, and mastering dynamics.
- Perfect for producers, mixing engineers, and sound designers.
Initially available for macOS in VST3 and AU formats, Dortran is scheduled for release on August 1st, 2025. Windows support is coming soon.
