The new control surface, dubbed Mackie Control, is a fully automated touch-sensitive control surface for MOTU Digital Performer manufactured by Mackie Designs.
Mackie Control provides nine 100-mm motorized touch-sensitive 1024-step Penny & Giles faders. The unit includes programmable rotary V-Pots on each channel strip, along with MUTE, SOLO, SELECT and REC/READY buttons. Dedicated assignment buttons give Digital Performer users instant access to any mixing parameter on any track, including EQ, dynamics, I/O settings and plug-ins. A large, backlit LED strip provides a detailed, comprehensive readout of channel settings and plug-in parameters. Dedicated channel- and bank-switching buttons provide quick access to any track in a Digital Performer mix. Transport, zoom, scrub and shuttle mode buttons, along with a large ergonomic jog/shuttle wheel, provide complete control over Digital Performer’s main transports and zooming/locating features.
