Frontier Design Group has announced new software support for its TranzPort wireless controller.

With the v1.3 driver installed, you can use TranzPort to control iTunes on both Apple and PC platforms. Several popular audio applications now support the controller, too.

iTunes Support

In addition to basic Play, Stop, and Volume controls, TranzPort lets you select tracks, navigate your iTunes library by artist, album, or song title, add songs to specific playlists, and control shuffle and repeat modes.

You can even use TranzPort in Cue mode to trigger backup tracks from a footswitch or a TranzPort button in a live performance environment. You can also set Start and Stop times of a song and enable looping, which lets you practice with a section of a song, so you can learn a new tune or transcribe that killer solo.

More details about using TranzPort with iTunes are available on our web site:
