TOUCH CONSOLE
The Touch Console provides touch-
screen friendly access to the mixer. It is
ideal for mixing on mobile devices like
tablets and smartphones. It supports
multi-touch operation. For example, you
can move multiple faders at the same
time with two or more fingers.
1. The Touch Console tab opens the
Touch Console shown on this page.
2. Shows and hides the sidebar (3).
3. The sidebar shows the full names of
the other tabs and the Touch
Console controls at the bottom of
the column. Push (2) to collapse it.
4. If you accessed your MOTU interface
through the MOTU Discovery app on
your mobile device, you’ll see this
link, which returns to the Discovery
app, where you can access other
available MOTU devices.
5. A mixer channel. All channels (input,
aux, group, reverb, monitor and
main) function as described earlier
in this guide. The Touch Console tab
simply shows a different, more
touch-friendly view of the same
channels and controls.
6. Swipe left or right on any channel to
scroll the channel display.
7. The Sidebar Fader remains pinned to
the right edge of the window, as you
scroll the rest of the faders, so that it
always remains visible. For example,
you might want the Main fader here
at all times, although you can
choose any channel you wish from
the Sidebar Fader menu (24).
8. Touch here to access channel
settings such as hardware input/
output assignment, 48V phantom
power, etc. (item #14 on page 23).
9. Touch this channel EQ thumbnail to
access a large, resizable parametric
EQ graph and touch-friendly EQ
controls (item #3 on page 23).
10. Touch here to access the dynamics
processing for the channel in a large,
resizable graphic panel above the
faders (item #15 on page 23).
11. Touch here to mute/unmute the
channel. Glide horizontally to toggle
multiple channels in one gesture.
12. Touch Console supports multi-touch
operation, so you can grab two or
more faders simultaneously.
Double-tap the fader to jump to
unity gain or -∞.
13. Meters can be PRE or POST fader, as
determined by the PRE setting (26).
14. Tap the fader value to type the level
numerically.
15. Touch here to solo or unsolo the
channel. Glide horizontally to toggle
multiple channels in one gesture.
16. Channel pan controls.
17. Channel name. This is the same
name as shown in the Routing Grid
and Mixer tab.
18. Use this overview strip to scroll to
the channels you wish to see. You
can either drag the overview lens
(19) or tap anywhere on the
overview to jump immediately to
that section of channels. Output
buses are displayed on the far right.
Channels are shaded as follows:
inputs: blue, groups: yellow, reverb:
red, main/monitor: gray, and aux:
aqua. The strip also displays an
overview of all channel meters.
19. The overview lens indicates the
channels currently in view. Drag it to
view other channels, or tap
anywhere on the overview to jump
directly to that location. Or swipe
left/right on the channels above.
20. The On Faders section determines
what the faders are controlling: the
input faders or sends (aux, reverb,
group or main). This is similar to the
conventional “Sends on Faders”
feature found on hardware mixing
consoles. For aux and group sends,
choose the desired aux bus or group
from the menu.
21. Shows what is currently “on faders”.
22. Tap the section title to show/hide it.
23. See “Talkback settings in Touch
Console” on page 66.

Faders’ to make the sidebar always
display the bus fader for the
currently chosen On Faders bus.
25. Shows/hides channel strips (5) for
inputs and outputs. Use the menu to
check and uncheck the channels you
wish to view and hide.
26. Toggles channel meters (13) to be
PRE or POST fader.
