AlphaTrack

Our latest product, AlphaTrack. It's a USB powered, compact control surface for working with computer digital audio workstations. Touch sensitive, motorized fader makes it easy to see and adjust levels on tracks (doing so with a mouse is far from intuitive or good for your carpals!). The three knobs below the screen are also touch sensitive and used for adjusting things like Pan, Send levels, changing tracks, EQ, plugin parameters, and others depending on the program being used. The great thing about being touch sensitive is as soon as you touch the knob the display changes to show details about the parameter (and even automation read/write status for the parameter on LEDs) and its value.

Lots of buttons for controlling things like looping, punch, and even flip (transpose knob parameters to the fader for finer control) and of course the standard five transport controls: Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop, Play, and Record. Big, illuminated buttons for Record arming, Mute, and Solo are over by the fader. Also lots of LEDs for status and a big, backlit LCD with two lines of text. A brand new and very clever (ok, I may be biased) control is the touch strip right above our logo. Use one finger on it to move the scrub through your project's timeline, and two fingers to jump in and out of shuttle mode. Sweet!
