Channel Level Meters

The character to the right of the channel label is used to
display the signal level. There are 5 states for this meter.
OFF -20dB

Channel SELECT Switches

These 8 are the top switch row located just below the
LCD and each one has its own green LED.
Channel SELECT's and DAW functions
These switches allow the channel strips to be selected
for grouping, deletion, assignment etc. When a channel
SELECT switch is pressed, it lights up to indicate that the
channel is selected. When the MotorMate view is
changed (swapping banks), the originally selected
channel remains selected. Selected channels not in the
current view will remain selected.
Several channels can be also be selected at a time.
There are 2 ways to add or subtract channels to a
selection.
1.) Simply press and hold down one SELECT switch and
tap additional SELECT switches to add or subtract them
from the selection.
2.) Depress the SHIFT key on the MotorMate (or the
keyboard) and tap additional SELECT switches to add or
subtract them from the selection.
To select all channels (not just the ones being viewed by
MotorMate) press and hold down the ALL switch on
MotorMate and press any SELECT switch. Holding
SHIFT and ALL switches on MotorMate, and then a
SELECT switch changes the select state of that channel
and also changes all other channels to the opposite
select state. Pressing a single channel SELECT switch
more than once will not change its state. Hold down the
SHIFT switch and press a single channel SELECT switch
to change its state.
Other SELECT Switch Functions
1.) When the WINDOW switch is held, the SELECT
switches open and close DAW windows as indicated on
the bottom row of the LCD. The SELECT LED's lit up
indicate that the window is open or foremost.
2.) When the ENABLE switch is down the fader, mute,
pan, send level, send mute and plug-in automation
enables will appear on the bottom row of the LCD. Press
a single channel SELECT switch to change its state.
-10dB +0dB +10dB
3.) When in PLUG-IN parameter mode (rotary display
showing "PA"), the SELECT switches/LED's are used for
plug-in switch control. A lit SELECT LED indicates that
the plug-in switch parameter is on. Pressing that
SELECT switch will toggle the switch parameter off.
4.) When the rotaries are in surround monitor mode (to
enter surround monitor mode, press the switch next to
the yellow "surrnd" LED until it lights) the SELECT
switches will solo the L*R, Center, L*R Surround and Sub
speaker outputs as indicated on the bottom row of the
LCD.
5.) When the lower panel "default" switch is active, the
SELECT switches are used to set faders to unity, their
default values.

View Control Section

The VIEW control section has the Left
and Right Arrow switches, BANK switch
/ LED and the GROUP switch / LED.
If the BANK LED is off, pressing the
Right or Left Arrow switch scrolls the
current view of 8 channels by 1 channel
at a time.
If the BANK LED is on, pressing the Right or Left arrow
switch scrolls the current view of 8 channels by 8
channels at a time. If either of these switches is held
down, it will automatically repeat view changes until the
switch is released.
Press the BANK switch, and the BANK LED will change
state. With the BANK LED lit, view switching is 8
channels at a time, otherwise, it is 1 channel at a time.
Note that moving the View Stick horizontally
exactly duplicates what the Left and Right Arrow
switches do for switching banks.

GROUP switch operations

Create Groups

To create a new group, first use the channel SELECT
switches to select channel to group together. Press and
hold the CTRL switch on the keyboard, and then press
the GROUP switch. This mimics the Command-G from
the keyboard. This will bring up the ProTools Group
dialog box. The next available "free" group appears with
a default name (a, b, c, etc.). Either leave the default
name, overwrite on, or enter a new name from the
keyboard. Press ENTER to complete, or ESC to abort
the process.
