SMART AV SMART CONSOLE ELITE 96: The Smart Console Elite 96 control surface offers control over a bevy of DAW features. The Smart Console’s patented ARC technology uses a physical arc located above the controls to represent all of the channels on a traditional long console. By touching the arc at any location, the desired channel and the channels surrounding it immediately appear in front of the sound engineer. With this single touch, 800 previously out-of-reach controls snap to within reach. The hand-written channel description is transferred to the digital scribble strip in front of the user. It currently works with systems such as Apple Logic Pro 7, Klotz Digital’s VADIS System, Merging Technologies’ Pyramix Virtual Studio, Yamaha’s DME64N and DME24N and the SADiE Series 5 PCM-H64.
