Overview

Powered by ADAA technology, Trinity Shaper combines comprehensive controls with groundbreaking new features to kick off the next generation of pro transient shapers.

A new dimension for transient shaping

Three-Body Tech has pioneered a new third-dimension for transient shaping – the Body stage. Use this stage to tune transients independently from attack and sustain with more control over your core sound and tail. This gives you a whole new level of control over the weight of your sound to unlock new dimensions in audio production.

The complete transient toolkit

The new Body stage joins the standard Sustain and Attack stages to make it the first ever tri-stage transient shaper, hence the name. Trinity Shaper is a formidable dynamics shaping tool with a wide variety of uses. Make your drums punch through, clean up guitar fret noises, reduce decay, amplify room sounds, and much more.

Total control of transients 

Trinity Shaper is built to deliver the exacting parameters and controls professional engineers demand. Switch between single and multi-band modes for broad and surgical sculpting. Get unparalleled precision and control with fully customizable frequency ranges in multi-band mode.

Detailed yet intuitive 

Trinity has the detailed and informative interface you’d expect from a Three-Body Tech plugin. Advanced options for waveform display, threshold, and input/output adjustability offer total command over your audio signal making it great for enhancing the workflow of studio engineers. This shaper is also ideal for less experienced engineers because it’s highly intuitive and easy-to-use. And it comes with an extensive preset library to help you get great results.
