Oxford TransMod Black Friday pricing sits at 75% off, which brings this Sonnox transient shaper plugin to $39 until Dec 17, 2026.
TransMod is built to harden or soften the attack of individual elements in a mix. The maker describes it as a precise, technical tool, and says it works without changing the tone or overall balance of your track.
You can push attacks up or pull them back, from subtle nudges to radical moves, with up to 24dB of boost or cut.
Sonnox pitches it at jobs like adding bite to drums, calming harsh percussive hits and trimming unwanted transient peaks.
On drums, the maker suggests raising the attack of kicks and snares so they cut through a dense mix, with EDM, rock and hip-hop named as typical targets.
On plucked or strummed acoustic instruments, you can pull harsh transients down. That leaves more of the sustain and keeps the natural dynamics of the performance.
On bass, a bit more attack can help the line drive the track without turning muddy. The harmonic overdrive adds warmth and depth on top.
Sonnox positions TransMod as the focused, technical option next to Oxford Envolution. Envolution covers broader creative shaping, including frequency-dependent control over transient and sustain. TransMod is aimed at surgical enhancing or suppressing of specific transients without altering the character of the sound.
On macOS you need 10.13 High Sierra or later, 64-bit only, with Intel and M1 Apple Silicon both supported. Formats are AAX Native, AU and VST3.
On Windows you need Windows 10 or later, with AAX Native and VST3 formats.
It runs in Pro Tools 11 or above, and in any desktop host that supports AU or VST3 plugins on Mac or VST3 on Windows.
Activation goes through iLok. Each licence gives you 2 activations, and you can authorise a machine, an iLok2 or iLok3 device with the latest drivers, or iLok Cloud with an active internet connection.
