MachineControl
Integrated Machine Control Option for Pro Tools

MachineControl™ enables easy integration of external equipment with Pro Tools, the world's leading digital audio workstation. MachineControl can make you more productive by adding the ability to control audio/video devices using quick, intuitive key commands directly from your computer keyboard. Hardware transport functions such as fast forward, rewind, jog, and shuttle are easily accessible from the Pro Tools graphical interface.

MachineControl allows for scrubbing of audio and video simultaneously from within Pro Tools. Check your audio and picture sync quickly and efficiently using the scrub-to-picture feature of MachineControl.

The transport window provides enhanced feedback for the various control modes, including displaying the difference between Shuttle mode and true Rewind or Fast Forward modes. With Transport-Machine mode, the Pro Tools positional cursor will follow the machine's time in Fast Forward or Rewind, showing you the relationship between the external deck's time code and the session.

MachineControl also provides intelligent logic that will tell Pro Tools if a machine's local/remote mode has been changed from its front panel - eliminating communication problems that may otherwise occur.

MachineControl also offers track arming with insert and assemble recording. MachineControl auto-detects many commonly used transports and presents the appropriate track configuration to the user for intuitive, integrated lay-backs to master tapes. When used with Pro Tools 5.0 or higher, MachineControl supports serial time code as a positional reference and features faster lockup times to Sony 9-pin.

With Pro Tools 5.1, MachineControl also allows you to slave Pro Tools to a Sony 9-Pin compatible device for the trigger of playback, recording, and track arming from a remote machine - providing even more ways to integrate Pro Tools into your studio setup. Both music and post-production studios will benefit from the ability of Pro Tools to emulate a remote deck.
