Boring mixes end with Transit 2.

I haven't checked out if the new features are worth an upgrade. But seeing I have only used part 1 a couple (literally) of times, I think I'm fine without it. 

Actually, this is new:

What’s New in v2

■ 4 New Motion Modes: LFO, Follower, Sidechain and Gate.

■ 10 New Effects: Warp, Loop, Reverser, Speaker, EQ, Analog Chorus, Shifter +, Mod Filter, Retroverb, Compressor.

■ Options to link Global Mix and Output to the Motion Mode.

■ Major redesign with improvements in workflow/performance and 469 new presets.

 

I actually a bit surprised part 1 didn't have those motion modes.

Ultimately it's all about eliminating the need for multiple automation lanes by putting (way too many) controls on the transit knob. The effects are ok/good, you get 10 more with version 2 but it's the ability to meld these together and to have them all controlled so easily from the transit knob. That makes transit so unique. I use a little Akai lp8 mkIi in Studio one. When transit is active the first rotary is assigned to the transit knob and the second is to the mix% knob. Once your presets are set up and saved the way you want them, that's all you need. 2 knobs to control multiple effects (28 different effects in v2) each with automatically modulating effect parameters. Lots of motion very easily. It's designed for transitions/ear candy. Instant risers, falls, fx, modulation.

If you have version 1, $29 gets you new modes (lfo, gate, side chain, sequencer, macro, and follower (which is really good in how it responds to a more or less busy/aggressive mix) to control the transit knob.  I still use simple automation of the transit knob but for gate type effects, stutter effects, tying effects to a kick or bassline, the other options add to its versatility. You also get the 10 additional effects (28 total). Some of these are a bit cheesy but might find a home for a specific use.

I wouldn't say v2 is night and day better than v1. But $29 is excellent value for a $79 plugin that adds a ton of versatility to it. If you intended Transit to be used as a multi effect there's probably better options. But nothing else (IMO) gives you easy control of so many effects and their parameters and begs to be tweaked.
