BOOM Library Launches Transforce, a Dual-Side Transient Shaper for Sound Designers and Producers
In a move that promises to reshape how producers sculpt impact, BOOM Library unveils Transforce, a transient shaper that splits attack and sustain into independent lanes. The plugin arrives on Windows and macOS as VST3, AU, and AAX, and comes with a 20 % introductory discount that runs until July 2 2026, as well as a 14‑day full‑feature trial.
Unlike traditional transient shapers that treat the whole signal as a single unit, Transforce lets designers treat the attack and sustain as separate creative decisions. Each side of the signal receives its own three‑band parametric EQ and saturation modules, so you can, for example, add weight to the low end of a sustain while keeping the attack crisp and clean. A spectral slider further isolates tonal resonance from broadband noise, giving you the ability to tame harshness on a metal impact without disturbing the sustain’s ring.
The plugin also features a dedicated transient section that can be monitored and triggered externally, a stylize module, a clipper, and a limiter for final shaping. All parameters are fully automatable, and users can choose up to four times oversampling. Look‑ahead detection captures fast transients with pinpoint accuracy.
According to BOOM Library’s website, Transforce was built by sound designers for sound design, yet it is fully capable in music production workflows. The design philosophy centers on avoiding the trade‑offs common in existing tools that lump attack and sustain together.
The 20 % discount brings the regular price of $139 USD down to $111.20, and the 14‑day trial lets users evaluate the complete feature set before committing. Compatibility with major DAWs and a focus on independent side processing make Transforce a compelling addition to the toolkits of both audio engineers and creative sound designers.
In short, Transforce offers a fresh approach to transient shaping that separates attack and sustain, delivers spectral isolation, and provides comprehensive side‑specific EQ and saturation. The plugin is available for purchase and trial until July 2 2026, positioning it as a valuable resource for professionals seeking precise control over transient dynamics.
