The Avid Artist Transport puts a hotbed of DAW control in front of you in the forms of buttons, toggles, and wheels. You can assign out the controls to suit your workflow – or use the pre-programmed control maps. Whatever you do, the Avid Artist Transport is all about putting you in touch with the right functions so you can keep your focus on your creativity.Onboard the Avid Artist Transport, you’ll find a weighted, optically encoded jog wheel alongside an optically encoded, spring-loaded shuttle ring. Both offer up ultra-high resolution navigation of your timeline, yet you can also instantly assign them to control other functions – zooming horizontally/vertically, trimming clip head and tail, crossfading,etc. Just use the Artist Transport’s programmable Soft Keys to switch up the functions on the fly.In addition to the jog/shuttle controls, the Artist Transport sports seven programmable transport/navigation keys with multicolor status LEDs. Use them to control standard transport functions or to take charge of other important keystrokes. The Artist Transport also offers a numeric keypad so you can quickly hop to places on the timeline or key-in precise parameter values. For even more editing functionality, the transport/navigation keys and the numeric keypad keys double as Soft Keys when you hold down the Function Key (shift).Your Avid Artist Transport is meant to fit your multi-application workflow. That’s because it automatically understands which application you have in the forefront of your screen – its controls will switch to match that application. You can compose in one program, edit and mix in another, then master the whole project in a third application – the Artist Transport follows your lead. In fact, the Artist Transport can connect to multiple workstations on the network, so it’s ready for the most professional of multi-application, multi-workstation setups. Beyond all that, if you like to work inside programs that don’t support EuCon, HUI, or Mackie control – such as Photoshop or iTunes – you can even assign Artist Transport keys to trigger keyboard shortcuts and macro commands.Avid Artist Transport Jog/Shuttle and Transport Controller Features at a Glance:
