Where is the Record button on my Motor Mix?
There is not a dedicated record button on the Motor Mix. To initiate recording from the Motor Mix, arm the tracks
you wish to record on, then enter "Transport Mode" by simultaneously pressing the SHIFT and transport (PLAY)
buttons on Motor Mix. The SELECT buttons below the LCD screen become Transport Control buttons, and the
"RECORD" button is among them.

Why does Pro Tools keep crashing? I'm seeing an assortment of errors and / or the computer keeps
freezing up. I'm using a Mark of the Unicorn USB MIDI interface with one or more Motor Mix units.
Make sure you have followed the proper setup procedure for using OMS and Motor Mix with a MOTU USB MIDI
interface (see the Motor Mix FAQ).
The use of the HUI or Motor Mix and OMS (required for Pro Tools) in conjunction with a Mark of the Unicorn USB
MIDI interface has in some cases proven to be unstable, and resistant to trouble shooting. If your are experiencing
these sorts of problems, try using another brand of USB MIDI interface, or switch to using the interface's old Mac
Serial port if it is equipped with one. Problems are more often seen when using multiple HUIs or Motor Mix units, so
also try using only one controller if possible.

Cannot instantiate a plug-in beyond the eighth fader when using multiple motor mix units.
Here is the procedure:
1) Press the "Plug-In" button on Motor Mix #1
2) Select the desired channel on Motor Mix #2, 3, or 4.
3) Press the "Plug-In" button on the Motor Mix unit which currently displays the channel you wish to instantiate on.
You should then see that channel number in the LCD display of Motor Mix #1.
4) Use Motor Mix #1 to choose and instantiate the desired plug-in.

I am seeing timecode coming in through the timecode reader in OMS but I am not seeing it in Pro Tools. Why?
How can I get another sequencer like Digital Performer to sync up with Pro Tools so I can do Midi in another application
besides ?
