Command|8
puts integrated, tactile manipulation of Pro Tools TDM or LE systems
running on Windows XP or Mac OS X at your fingertips more affordably
than ever before. While there are several compact control surface
options from third-party manufacturers compatible with Pro Tools,
only Command|8 was made by Digidesign and Focusrite specifically
for Pro Tools. As a result, Command|8 provides a great deal more
sophisticated control with Pro Tools software, and has been tested
and qualified specifically for Pro Tools.
Borrowing
elements from Digidesign’s higher-end control surfaces, Command|8’s
eight bankable channels of moving faders, rotary encoders, and displays
enable you to control Pro Tools with the hands-on feel of a traditional
analog console. What’s more, its onboard monitor system features
Focusrite audio performance and quality, accommodating Pro Tools
audio along with external inputs, speakers, and separately controlled
headphone outs. A simple USB connection facilitates communication
between Command|8 and your computer.
Command|8
also includes an integrated, fully editable MIDI interface and features
a stand-alone MIDI controller mode, enabling you to use it with
your favorite third-party MIDI applications and devices — any
that accept MIDI control change messages for level, panning, solo,
mute, MIDI Machine Control, and other mappable parameters.
For
post production suites, Avid products are natively supported by
Command|8, including Avid Media Composer. When used with Avid products,
Command|8 can be used to control the Automation Gain Tool for recording
dynamic volume automation as well as Solo, Mute and Snap Mode on
and off. Better yet, Command|8’s onboard monitor section alleviates
the need for an external mixer for speaker control.
