Frontier Design Group’s new AlphaTrack™ combines a set of intuitive tactile controls in a compact and attractive package. Ride a high-resolution fader, turn real knobs, scroll and shuttle with the touch of your fingers, all with a control surface that fits your desktop and the way you work. AlphaTrack lets you work more productively and creatively without giving up a lot of desktop space.
AlphaTrack includes a 100mm, touch-sensitive, motorized fader which provides true 10-bit resolution for smooth and precise level control. AlphaTrack also has three touch-sensitive encoders, a feature previously found only on high-end gear costing thousands of dollars. These let you adjust track and plug-in parameters while the 32-character backlit display shows detailed feedback in response to your touch. The encoders provide quick control of pans, sends, EQ, plug-ins, and automation.
One of AlphaTrack’s greatest innovations is its touch-sensitive jog and shuttle strip. Slide one finger across its surface and your project’s timeline scrolls in response. Drop a second finger onto the strip, and now your fingers control the timeline’s shuttle speed. Zoom through your project with two fingers, then just lift one finger and slide to quickly set the precise position you want. And you can also just tap on the left or right ends of the strip to navigate through your project’s markers!
AlphaTrack also has a set of 22 buttons and 21 LED’s, including standard transport controls, per track record, solo, mute, and automation indication, and encoder mode control. When supported by the computer application, a set of buttons can also be customized with user-programmable functions.
AlphaTrack connects to your computer using just a single USB cable. This makes it quite portable, easy to connect, and compatible with laptops since no additional power supply is needed. AlphaTrack’s backpanel also includes a footswitch jack for easy punch-in recording.
AlphaTrack works on Windows XP and Mac OS X (including Intel Macs) with applications such as Pro Tools, SONAR (4+), Reason (3.01+), Cubase (3.02+), Nuendo (3.02+), Digital Performer (5+), Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, and REAPER. Support for more applications will be added regularly

Did you ever find out about this? Or another perhaps that does work?

Nothing new will ever work for older versions of Logic...I've learned to live with it. I guess if I had the patience to assign Midi numbers to all functions it would work...

Wouldn't you be annoyed switch back and forth between tracks?

Get an old G5 and get some ram and use new version of Logic. It's funny thinking back to how you did my songs, I know now what you were doing then somewhat.

The touch thing is pretty nice but doesn't seem that much better than a jog dial.

its not better.. just different. also allows for a smaller form factor...which is what this is aimed at.

i think his thing is finding something that works with his old ass version of Logic more than anything else. iControl works perfectly with Logic Pro and Express v. 8.

That fader is powered too, that's nice.

iControl is $80 and controls 8 tracks in logic from a usb cable, hard to beat.

The wireless tranzport is a better overall piece, but it doesnt have that FADER. Alphatrack is solid though. And it def wont work with Logic. One of the few programs it wont work with...
