TranzPort Quote
“Believe the hype. This is the shizzle. If you have a DAW, you should run, not walk, and order a TranzPort. The TranzPort is too cool for school. This is a no-brainer, must-have for anyone with a DAW, and an indispensable tool for the 21st-century studio.”
Dan Richards, Studio Reviews Magazine, August 2005

TranzPort and Samplitude
For all of you dedicated MAGIX customers following the latest updates, Samplitude 8.3 now boasts support for TranzPort from Frontier Design Group. TranzPort, the worlds’ first wireless DAW controller, opens up a whole new level of recording possibilities in a very powerful, yet compact design. TranzPort gives you creative freedom never before available.
Samplitude 8.3 uses our customized Mackie Control emulation mode to give the user full access to basic transport functions, track mute, solo and arming, marker creation and navigation, toggling punch and loop modes, defining left and right punch points, and much more. Special functions for Samplitude users include level and pan adjustment for individual tracks and the master buss, as well a footswitch to enable hands-free recording. Use the learn feature in Samplitude’s controller setup to further customize your TranzPort experience. The 2×20 character display provides you with all the information you need to record tracks without being in sight of your computer.
Run the basic TranzPort driver installer, connect the USB interface, select Mackie Control mode and the TranzPort is ready to go. All that remains is to configure a TranzPort_Mackie Control in your Samplitude MIDI Controller Setup window. Full detailed setup instructions can be found on the TranzPort CDROM or the Frontier Design website.
Some additional support documents are available specifically for Samplitude 8.3 users.
Samplitude and TranzPort (PDF) contains detailed instructions for configuring the TranzPort for use with your software. Information on how to use some of TranzPort’s less-obvious features, as well as a reference chart listing the default controls for Samplitude are found in this useful document.
