will return to unity. Use the DEFAULT switch in
conjunction with the ALL switch to revert to the
default settings for all parameters of a specific
type (for example, reverting all faders to unity).
UNDO Pressing the UNDO switch will undo the
previous action. The UNDO switch’s LED will
light when an undo-able function has been exi-
cuted.
SAVE Pressing the SHIFT+SAVE (UNDO)
switches will cause the SAVE switch’s LED to
start flashing, indicating that a Save is pending.
Pressing SAVE a second time will Save your
Pro Tools session and the LED will stop flashing.
To cancel a pending Save, press the ESCAPE
switch.
SHIFT This switch functions just like the Shift
modifier key on your computer keyboard. It also
functions in conjunction with other switches
on the MotorMix.
ENTER This switch duplicates the Enter key on
the computer keyboard. It can also be used to
OK dialogs in Pro Tools, when present, and cre-
ate Memory Locations.
ESCAPE This switch is used to exit or cancel pro-
cesses before completion. It can also be used to
dismiss dialogs, when present, and select Edit
Tools in the Edit window.
Computer Keyboard Modifier
Keys
Most of the computer keyboard modifier keys
such as Control, Shift, Alt, and so on, also per-
form their usual Pro Tools functions in conjunc-
tion with MotorMix. For example, pressing the
Option key on the keyboard and then one of the
channel MUTE switches on the MotorMix will
mute all channels.
Troubleshooting
If MotorMix does not respond properly, run the
built in self-test in MotorMix. Connect the MIDI
output directly into the MIDI input on Motor-
Mix and apply power. The MotorMix will move
all 8 faders, blink the LEDs and the LCD display,
and test the MIDI input and output. If the test
passes, double-check the configuration of OMS
and Pro Tools (Macintosh OS 9 only), and also
double check that your MIDI interface is func-
tioning correctly.
The CONFIGURE and UTILITY switches
currently have no functionality in conjunc-
tion with Pro Tools.
