Motor Mix with keyboard

also perform their usual Pro Tools functions in conjunction with Motor Mix.
For example; Pressing the “CNTRL” key on the keyboard allows you to
move a fader independently or other faders in its group. Think of it as
momentarily releasing the fader of a group. Release the “CNTRL” key to
put the fader back under group control.
