PLUG-IN Operations

Insert Control

With one of the channel SELECT LED's on, press the
PLUG-IN switch (fifth switch up to the left of the faders),
and the Rotary Display will display "IN" for insert. The
inserts for the selected channel (controlled by the
channel SELECT switches) will display on the LCD. The
top row of the LCD will display "Insert 1-4
label", where "Channel label" is the un-truncated name
you have given the selected channel. The bottom row of
the LCD will show inserts 1-4 for the selected channel. If
the insert has no plug-in assigned, it will display "No
Insert".
If an insert has a plug-in assigned, its name will appear
(up to 10 characters long) on the bottom row of the LCD.
If the plug-in name (or "No Insert") is blinking on and off,
that indicates that insert is selected in the channel. If the
plug-in name on the LCD has only upper case letters,
then the plug-in is not bypassed. If the plug-in name
contains any lower case letters, then the plug-in is
bypassed. Rotate the rotary selector clockwise and insert
5 will appear on the LCD. Rotate the rotary selector
counter clockwise and inserts 1-4 will appear on the LCD.

Parameter Control

To pick a plug-in for editing, press either of the 2 channel
SELECT switches below the desired insert. If the plug-in
is a slap delay on insert 4 (for example), the top row of
the LCD will briefly show: "Page 1/2
4)". This means that page 1 of 2 parameter pages is
displayed, the plug-in is a slap delay and it is on insert 4
in the channel strip. Following this, the first 4 of the
selected plug-in parameter names will appear on the
bottom row of the LCD and their setting will be to the
right of the parameter name.
If the parameter is a switch, the parameter name
appears on the top row of the LCD with its value just to
the right. The channel SELECT switches will control the
switch state, and the LED will show the on/off state. If the
parameter is a continuous type, the rotary pot below the
parameter will change its value. Since there are only 4
parameters displayed on MotorMate at a time, use the
even numbered rotary pots to make adjustments.
Push the View Stick up, and the LCD will briefly show
"Page 2/2 slap delay (Ins 4)". This means that page 2
of 2 parameter pages is displayed, the plug-in is a slap
delay and it is on insert 4 in the channel strip. Here, all
the parameters on page 2 can be viewed or changed.
Pushing the View Stick up goes up through the pages,
and pushing it down goes down through the pages.

Plug-In Bypass

Press the MULTI switch to toggle the bypass status of a
channel's inserts. A solid lit green MULTI LED indicates
that inserts 1-5 on that channel are bypassed. A blinking
green MULTI LED indicates that one or more inserts (but
Channel not all) on that channel are bypassed.
Whenever MotorMate is editing a plug-in, that plug-in
can be bypassed, or made active, by pressing the SHIFT
switch down, then the BYPASS switch (3rd one up, left of
the faders). All the session plug-ins can be bypassed or
made active while the MULTI switches are in FX BYPS
mode. Simply press and hold down the ALL switch and
press any channel MULTI switch.
Plug In Channel Select

MotorMate was editing parameters (rotary display
showing "PA"), it will return to insert mode and will select
another channel for plug-in editing. The channel selected
will have its track label displayed on the top row of the
LCD.
If a MULTI switch is pressed quickly, twice in sucession,

forward for editing.
Assigning Plug-In's
Press and hold SHIFT (on the MotorMate lower panel)
and then press "assign" on the MotorMate lower panel.
The ASSIGN LED will flash to show that assignment is in
process. During assignment, the Burn Mode Switches
and the Rotary Mode Switches are all disabled.
The Rotary Display will show "IN" for insert, and any
SELECT LED's that were on, now go off. Rotate the
rotary pots to move through the list of assignment
choices. The choices will appear on the LCD bottom row
as you do this. Press the View Stick up to access insert 5
for assignment.
When the SELECT LED flashes, it indicates that the
choice in that channel input or output assignment is not
the original one. When the desired assignment is shown
on the LCD, press that channel's SELECT switch. That

SELECT will light solid to indicate it is locked in.
When the green "bypass" LED is lit,
the MULTI switches will bypass all
the inserts on the selected channel.
Press the second Multi Mode switch
to light the SELECT LED. The
