Integrated Control Surface for Pro Tools®
PROCONTROL™

ProControl will alter your concept of what to expect
when working with a professional digital audio
workstation. While it looks and feels like a true worldclass
console, it offers far more extensive control than
traditional consoles. Featuring high-quality, hands-on
control of your Pro Tools TDM-based mixing, editing,
and DSP processing environment, plus a comprehensive
monitoring section, it is the only mix controller
you’ll need in your studio. ProControl also offers a
flexible, modular design (expandable in eight-channel
increments to 48 channels), so it can be customized to
fit your needs and budget.
ProControl connects easily to TDM-based Pro Tools
systems (for Mac OS and Windows NT) with a fast,
standard 10BaseT Ethernet connection. Ethernet
makes it possible to network ProControl Main and
Expansion units throughout a production facility.
Ethernet also provides the fastest, most reliable
performance of an integrated Pro Tools/ProControl
system, especially in larger configurations.
PATENTED DIGIFADER MOVING FADERS
The patented DigiFader is the first of its kind. A
true digital device, it incorporates a sealed encoder,
servo-controlled motor, and “flex-circuit.” This
unique design provides the feel, performance, and
reliability of moving faders found on other high-end
mixing consoles without the exorbitant cost. Advanced
touch-sensitive circuitry means all you have to do
is touch the fader to override servo control. Each
100mm DigiFader provides 10-bits (1024 steps)
of resolution; Pro Tools then provides 24-bit
interpolation of these values, to ensure accurate
reproduction of your fader moves.
COMPLETE CONTROL
The Pro Tools TDM system contains some of the
most powerful mix automation available on any
digital system, regardless of price. This includes
Write, Touch, Latch and Read modes for fader
levels, pans, sends, mutes, Plug-In parameters and
more. With ProControl, literally every parameter
capable of automation in Pro Tools TDM systems
can be controlled from the ProControl surface.
ProControl is designed to serve as the sole control
surface in your Pro Tools TDM mixing and editing
environment. Fader and send levels, pan position,
scrub/shuttle, transport control, edit tools/modes,
Plug-In access and editing are all available from
the ProControl surface. Control room and studio
monitoring of stereo or surround sound Pro Tools
mixes is also accessible. ProControl even includes an
integrated Trackpad for those rare times when you
need to access an item on the Pro Tools graphical
user interface.
FADER EXPANSION PACKS
Although even the largest Pro Tools TDM mix
configuration can be accessed from the Main unit,
additional fader sections are available for more
detailed applications. Fader Expansion Packs include
eight additional DigiFaders and contain all the
features of the Main unit fader section as well as
eight stereo meters. Up to five Fader Expansion
Packs can be added to a ProControl Main unit,
offering access to a total of 48 channel strips at
a time.
