Jack Stoner Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 I just excessed a fully functional Frontier Tranzport, wireless DAW controller. The drivers are old Vista era, but installing in a compatibility mode in Windows works. I had it working in Windows 11. Free for shipping costs (est $20). PM me.
DeeringAmps Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Two things are essential in my little studio. My Tascam FW1884, and the Frontier Tranzport. Good to know you got it working in Win 11. Fingers crossed that when I move to 11 there's hope the 1884 will follow. I don't think this will last long. t why am I not jumping on this just for a backup? why am I asking vous... Edited September 16, 2022 by DeeringAmps spelling
Jack Stoner Posted September 16, 2022 Author Posted September 16, 2022 Tom has decided he wants it so its gone. Jack 1
DeeringAmps Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 What is it Chuck Berry said? Gone like a cool breeze...
Bajan Blue Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Absolutely essential piece of equipment for me - just been using it today! I purchased a couple of spare units as well a few years back, just in case it ever went wrong. They were very cheap at the time, no idea what they would go for now, as people get more desperate? I set mine up in Windows 10 a few years back, and if I remember, you have to go through the unsigned driver routine when installing - bit of a pain, but you only have to do it once Nigel 1
DeeringAmps Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 @Bajan Blue Nigel, should we be ashamed of ourselves for hording the Tranzports? NAH! The boys had their chance... t ? 2
Bajan Blue Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 tom, they just don't know what they are missing? Nigel 1
DeeringAmps Posted September 19, 2022 Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Arrived safe and sound! The old office rig recognized it immediately, I think I heard it Purr "Where ya been old friend?" One in the Studio, one for the Office; nothing could be better, than to see her in a sweater whoops! PRICELESS! t where are my manners; Thank You Jack! Edited September 19, 2022 by DeeringAmps 1
newdreamstudio Posted August 8, 2024 Posted August 8, 2024 trying to get Tranzport installed in Windows 11... no luck. I have to Sonar plugin installed but Windows 11 won't let me choose Windows 7 as the compatibility mode. It just asks if I want Windows 11 to apply the recommended compatibility mode. And that doesn't work.... thoughts?

Max Arwood Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 I love the Frontier Tranzport! I only wish it had one slider like the next higher version. It still works well for me in win10. Let us know if you get it running in Win 11. 2
jesse g Posted August 21, 2024 Posted August 21, 2024 (edited) I like multiple faders. There is nothing wrong with the Tranzport, but I like my ICon QCon Pro G2 eight channel universal control surface. Edited August 22, 2024 by jesse g 1

I ran the installer (TranzPort_Win_Setup_1.5.0.exe) in Win7 compatibility mode. I also turned off the memory integrity setting. There's still some things missing yet...which I'll try today. Has anyone else gotten the Tranzport to work on Windows 11 or am I still alone here?
dantarbill Posted Tuesday at 03:38 PM Posted Tuesday at 03:38 PM Ah!! It's working!! If anyone wants further details or assistance, reply here! 1

dantarbill Posted Friday at 08:06 PM Posted Friday at 08:06 PM There's a number of (somewhat scary) steps... Run the "TranzPort_Win_Setup_1.5.0.exe" installer in Win7 compatibility mode... Right click .exe. Select properties. Select compatibility tab. Check Run this program in compatibility mode for: and select Windows 7 from drop down. Note that you’re supposed to disconnect the USB interface/dongle thingy before the install. You'll probably get the "A driver cannot load this device" complaint... TranzPortx64.sys (C:\Program Files\TranzPort) A security setting is preventing this driver from loading. You’ll need to adjust your settings to load this driver. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/a-driver-can-t-load-on-this-device-8eea34e5-ff4b-16ec-870d-61a4a43b3dd5 …suggests turning off the memory integrity setting. (This has scary "you could screw things up" warnings.) Make sure TranzPort_64.dll finds it way into the "Shared Surfaces" directory (noting that only 64 bit is now supported by SONAR). You should have a SONAR_and_TranzPort_v1.3.3.pdf doc in your collection of downloads from Frontier that walks you through the rest of the setup under "SONAR Setup". There might be some missing steps here. I tried to document everything as I went through it though. Lemme know if this works for anyone. 1 3
