Post, August, 2002

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Pro Tools users aren't the only ones that can mix projects on a cool control surface, as Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) and Mackie Designs are set to manufacture an automated worksurface for MOTU's Digital Performer DAW software. Mackie will manufacture and market the Mackie Control mixer, with MOTU providing customized UI and software engineering.

Mackie Control is a fully automated touch-sensitive control surface featuring nine 100mm motorized, touch-sensitive 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.

A backlit LED strip provides details on 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 shuffle mode buttons, along with a large ergonomic jog/shuttle wheel, provide control over Digital Performer's main transports and zooming/locating features.

Mackie Control is expected to ship Q3 of '02.
