"Great tool, CRAP doco"

I am purchasing a CM motormix to use in conjunction with Pro Tools LE. So far, my use has been limited to one weekend with the box, during which I enjoyed immensely the experience of controlling 'tools parameters with a mixer-like interface: the mouse blows!

I'm sure that I would have made more progress with the use of the device in the time I had if the documentation had been written by non-neanderthals with some sense of English, but I look forward to paying off the device so that I can stumble onto more of it's finer features as my experience grows.

10/10 for concept. 1/10 for communication with the reader, CM: get a clue!

About This Product!
Description
Moving Fader Remote Controller
Motor Mix™ stands alone as the only DAW mixer control surface to offer 8 bank-switchable motorized faders at an unbelievably low price. It also features 8 rotary pots, a rotary encoder, 68 switches, and a 40 by 2 LCD. Motor Mix™ is THE hands-on control surface to provide complete tactile control for a variety of audio needs, including:

Studio
Console Automation: Use the Motor Mix™ to enter fader moves and mutes into the sequencer to provide mixer automation.

Digital Audio Workstations: Connect Motor Mix™ to a computer-based Digital Audio Workstation. Use Motor Mix™ to enter fader moves and mutes into the DAW to control levels, mutes, and plug-in parameters in real-time with real controls instead of 'mousing' commands one-at-a-time on the computer screen. By using the bank select switches and the LCD, Motor Mix™ can control systems with an unlimited number of channels and many plug-ins in each channel. Motorized faders are the controls of choice used by professionals all over the world on the most expensive consoles. And Motor Mix™ brings them to you at a price anyone can afford!

Live Sound
Remote Mixing: Since Motor Mix™ is only 10 by 12 in., you can mix from any seat in the house!

Show Control: Connect Motor Mix™ to a show control system. Use the faders and mutes on Motor Mix™ to control virtually any show parameters.

Cascading: up to 4 Motor Mix Controllers can be cascaded in Protools
