Transport, Clipboard and Autolocator Section

Clipboard Controls
The Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete switches allow fast access to the Clipboard, Edit Modes, and Tools.  If you want to undo edits, just press the UNDO switch to the left of the faders.

Transport Switches
MotorMate has full size transport switches in a novel layout which allows greatest ease of operation in a minimum space. Their position is natural and comfortable, and you don't have to look at your hand to know what you're doing.

Autolocator Controls
The dual-purpose locator controls allow you to set and recall markers with great speed and precision, and all without sacrificing precious panel space.  When you press the LOCATE switch, it automatically makes the locate list appear on the computer screen.  Then from MotorMate, you have access to numeric locator keys, plus, minus, slash, star and equals.  Additionally, with locate on, the fast forward and rewind transport switches become Last and Next locate switches for very quick movement through the locate list.  When the LOCATE switch is pressed again, it instructs the computer to remove the locate list from the screen thus saving valuable screen space.

Jog Wheel
Central to the Edit Section is the Jog Wheel.  On top is a machine tooled aluminum precision jog / shuttle wheel.  Most other DAW consoles use cheap molded plastic wheels.  Underneath ours sits a high resolution optical encoder which is rated for over 100 million cycles!!  Try and wear that sucker out!  This allows far more accurate control than the annoying cheap 15 cent rotary encoders found on other consoles.  Many of our competitiors use plastic shafts on their encoders.  Press them down a bit to hard and they bend or snap off!  Our Jog Wheels are of the highest quality possible and are seen only on MotorMate and some $10,000+  consoles.  Just above the Jog Wheel is the Shuttle/Scrub switch and indicator LED's.  Use it to access the Jog Wheel for Shuttlling or Scrubbing.  The Jog Wheel is also used with the Navigator section to control the beginning and end of regions for editing.
