Most transient shapers treat every sound the same. This plugin from XLN Audio was built for drums only, and it shows in how quickly it settles a mix. Pick the mode that matches your source, turn two knobs, and a flat kick or washy snare takes shape in seconds. The Mojo control adds weight in chosen frequency bands while leaving the rest alone.

Key Features

  • Three modes tuned for kick, snare and full drum bus work
  • Attack control adds snap or softens the front of a hit
  • Sustain control lengthens or tightens the tail of each drum
  • Mojo knob shapes punch in chosen frequency bands only
  • Runs as a VST, AU and AAX plugin in major hosts on Mac

FAQs

Is this a standalone app?

No. It is an effect plugin that runs inside your music software, on a drum track or bus in your host.

How is it different from a general transient shaper?

Its three modes are tuned for kick, snare and bus sources rather than one generic response, and Mojo works on selected bands only.

Can I use it on loops and beats, not just single drums?

Yes. Bus mode is made for grouped material, so loops, full kits and 808 parts all take the same quick treatment.
