Over the years technology has evolved with modern computers and interfaces making good use of the benefits of Thunderbolt. Without the popularity of the Digi 003, not forgetting the previous Digi 002, we may not have even had so many small control surfaces available to us today.

C24 also provides analog audio features that make it ideal for Pro Tools recording, monitor-ing, and studio communications. In some small way, all third party small form factor motorised control surfaces that followed the Digi 003 over the years were in some small way a little tribute to the Digi. C24 gives you hands-on access to nearly all of the recording, routing, editing, and mixing features of Pro Tools. It was a sad day when the Digi 003 discontinued, it was also a shame that we never saw a Digi 004. The Digi 003 had the same type of motorised faders as the C24, same digital dual-line scribble strip, same mushroom encoder caps but at a fraction of the price, and it was also an all-in-one solution including a very usable audio/MIDI interface and monitor control section. The 003 desk felt like a mini C24, which at the time cost over £7,000. From editing plugins and writing automation, to performing complex tasks with a.

When I took delivery of it back in 2007 it felt like a proper premium product, in many ways it still does today. Like S6, S4 is built with EUCON technology, giving you deep, unmatched DAW integration to access and control Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic Pro, and other audio and video software right from its touchscreen and surfaceeven two different applications simultaneously. Modern third-party control surfaces, of course, have to be cross-compatible with a range of popular DAWs, which is completely understandable, but the magic I feel when I use the Digi 003 isn’t in any of the offerings we have available today. Pro Tools, Media Composer, Sibelius, Avid Play Avid VENUE, Avid NEXIS, MediaCentral, FastServe, MBOX Studio, Pro Tools Carbon, Pro Tools MTRX, Airspeed, Avid. The top products available to us today, listed earlier, are all proof that these types of control surfaces are in fact quite popular in the audio production industry, but I feel none of them really captured the essence of the Digi 003, which I think is a real shame.ĭon’t get me wrong, the Digi 003 wasn’t without its faults but what made it special was its deep integration with Pro Tools. If you are a Studio One user then the Faderport surfaces integrate beautifully. After the Digi range of Digidesign audio interfaces and control surfaces were discontinued by Avid, a gap in the market opened up for third-parties to release their own takes on an 8 fader compact control surface. Avid have Eucon, which shares deep integration between Pro Tools and Eucon enabled surfaces and understandably Avid are going to use their proprietary technology to drive sales of Avid control surfaces. These days it seems that there is a Pro Tools control surface option for every budget. I consider the Digi 003 Factory to be the best motorised 8 fader control surface for Pro Tools of all time. Control surface technology has also taken a giant leap forward in the forms of EUCON and touch enabled devices.
