Powerful, Compact Mix Control!
Why be stuck with just a keyboard and mouse when AlphaTrack gives you much more control over your mix? AlphaTrack combines a set of intuitive tactile controls in a compact and attractive package. Now you can ride a high-resolution fader, turn real knobs, scroll and shuttle with the touch of your fingers, all with a control surface that fits your desktop and the way you work. AlphaTrack lets you work more productively and creatively without giving up a lot of desktop space.

Frontier Design AlphaTrack at a Glance:

100mm touch-sensitive fader with 10-bit resolution
Unique jog and shuttle strip
22 customizable buttons
Simple USB computer connection

100mm touch-sensitive fader with 10-bit resolution
AlphaTrack includes a 100mm, touch-sensitive, motorized fader which provides true 10-bit resolution for smooth and precise level control. AlphaTrack also has three touch-sensitive encoders, a feature previously found only on high-end gear costing thousands of dollars. These let you adjust track and plug-in parameters while the 32-character backlit display shows detailed feedback in response to your touch. The encoders provide quick control of pans, sends, EQ, plug-ins, and automation.

Unique jog and shuttle strip
One of AlphaTrack's unique innovations is its touch-sensitive jog and shuttle strip. Slide one finger across its surface and your project's timeline scrolls in response. Drop a second finger onto the strip, and now your fingers control the timeline's shuttle speed. Zoom through your project with two fingers, then just lift one finger and slide to quickly set the precise position you want. And you can also just tap on the left or right ends of the strip to navigate through your project's markers!

22 customizable buttons
AlphaTrack also has a set of 22 buttons and 21 LEDs, including standard transport controls, per track record, solo, mute, and automation indication, and encoder mode control. When supported by the computer application, a set of buttons can also be customized with user-programmable functions.

Simple USB computer connection
AlphaTrack connects to your computer using just a single USB cable. This makes it portable, easy to connect, and compatible with laptops since no additional power supply is needed. AlphaTrack's back panel also includes a footswitch jack for easy punch-in recording. AlphaTrack works on Windows XP and Mac OS X (including Intel Macs).

Customer Reviews

Best DAW controller one could have
by Sean S. from Tampa, FL USA, June 26, 2009
Music Background: Mixing Specialist

“It DOES work with Pro Tool 8. However, a bit pain in the butt to get working with Windows 7/Vista for PT 8, but it DOES work.

Being able to control any fader (including master/aux/send faders) at one finger tips keeps the creative flow going. Plus, it makes mixing FUN again vs mouse/keyboard only.

Can even use it with MOST plugins, such as eq's, compressors, and...” Read More
