Pro Tools® is the most widely used, completely integrated digital audio/MIDI production environment for professional music and post production applications. But, if you're driving a Pro Tools system with only a computer keyboard and mouse, you're severely limiting your ability to fly through sessions and take full advantage of what this system has to offer. Fortunately, Digidesign® offers multiple control surface options that put the system's extensive capabilities right at the tips of your fingers.

Designed to enhance the speed of working with Pro Tools, D-Control, D-Command, Control|24 and Command|8 each offer unique ways for you to unlock the power of your Pro Tools system - allowing you to complete your projects much more quickly and intuitively.

ICON D-Control

The innovative mixing centerpiece of ICON, the D-Control tactile worksurface employs an intuitive console layout. The Master Module includes easily accessible, comprehensive center section controls, and is complemented by a 16-channel Fader Module that can be installed to the right or left of the Master Module (additional Fader Modules can be easily added as needed). D-Control's ergonomic design enables full control from the channel strips with minimal paging, while its abundance of LCD displays, LED rings, and bargraphs facilitates the visual feedback operators require.

• Slim, sleek control surface, expandable to 80 physical faders/channel strips with optional 16-channel Fader Modules; Master Module includes one 16-channel Fader Module
• High-quality, touch-sensitive, motorized faders
• Six touch-sensitive, multi-purpose rotary encoders per channel strip with 15-segment, multi-color LED rings that display encoder position or metering. Each rotary encoder also features a 6-character alphanumeric, multi-color LCD display for function parameters in addition to one display for the channel scribble strip
• 29 illuminated pushbuttons per channel strip that facilitate fast selection of channel modes and attributes
• Two bargraph meters per channel, and eight Master section bargraph meters
• Comprehensive monitor/communications control section
• Dedicated control sections for EQ and dynamics plug-in editing
• High-speed Ethernet connection to Pro Tools|HD Accel DSP mixing core
• VESA standard TFT mounting arm for flat-panel display (display not included)

ICON D-Command

D-Command offers amazing control and ICON exclusive Pro Tools system functionality in a medium-format console worksurface. Similar to the flagship ICON D-Control, D-Command features dedicated EQ, dynamics, and monitoring control panels, and offers control over many processing functions, routing, and automation modes directly from the worksurface. Combined with the Pro Tools|HD Accel DSP mix engine and modular Pro Tools|HD interfaces and peripherals for system I/O, D-Command gives operators powerful hands-on command over their projects on a relatively small — yet expandable — console, making it an ideal solution for smaller post production and music facilities.

Control|24

Control|24 is an ergonomic control surface and analog front end for TDM-equipped Pro Tools systems. Featuring 24 touch-sensitive motorized faders, illuminated switching for dozens of functions - including Mute, Solo, Record Arm, Channel Selects, and Automation Mode as well as dedicated EQ and Dynamics switches on every channel - Control|24 provides a cost-effective way to get hands-on access to nearly every recording, routing, mixing and editing function in Pro Tools. Control|24 connects to Pro Tools via Ethernet, ensuring fast and reliable performance. Featuring 16 Class A mic/line preamps based on the design featured in the award-winning Platinum line of processors from Focusrite, Control|24 provides a sophisticated front-end to Digidesign audio interfaces.The unit also includes two DI (direct inject) inputs on the first two channels for directly plugging in instrument-level devices such as an electric guitar or bass, and an integrated submixer section for controlling up to 8 stereo sources. Control|24 is a non-expandable, self-contained unit and is an ideal control surface for project or professional music studios that don't already have high-quality mic preamplification.

Features

• Includes 16 Focusrite mic preamps based on the design featured in the award-winning Platinum line of processors
• 24 touch-sensitive motorized faders
• Features an integrated submixer with 8 stereo inputs
• 26 Scribble strips provided for system feedback
• Comprehensive Control Room section capable of up to 5.1 surround monitoring
  

Command|8

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.

• Supports both Pro Tools TDM and LE systems (independently)
• Simple USB connection to your PC or Mac
• Compact size; comfortable ergonomic layout
• 8 touch sensitive motorized faders, 8 automatable rotary encoders with LED rings
• Big, bright, 110-character (55 characters x 2 rows) backlit LCD display for easily viewing information
• Integrated 1-IN/2-OUT MIDI interface (16 channel in, 32 out)
• Standalone MIDI controller mode
• Flexible Focusrite onboard monitoring section
