IN DETAIL

The high-precision touch-sensitive slider forms the centerpiece of the CMC Transport Controller. This innovative, multi-purpose touch device takes DAW control to a whole new level. Six working modes allow you to jog or shuttle through the project, to tap in the tempo, to scroll, zoom and browse with the convenience of a slide. Now you can control your audio with your fingertips — it’s faster, smoother and more accurate than with the computer mouse. To never get lost, the red LED lights provide visual feedback on the exact position.

Apart from this novelty, the CMC-TP houses buttons for all major transport functions, including play, stop, record, cycle, fast forward and rewind. Additional buttons for inserting markers, setting the locator range or inserting a new track, to name a few, make the CMC-TP a powerful recording and editing assistant. Best of all, four of its buttons can even hold a second function, which can be freely assigned by the user.

To put it straight, the CMC-TP will truly accelerate your recording and editing workflow, while making project navigation even faster and smoother at the same time.
