Desktop controller for the MASTER X HD 3-band dynamics plug-in, with hands-on encoders and USB bus power

Where to buy MASTER X HD-DT (0815-ABC)

Put your hands back on the master bus.

Some decisions are faster with a knob than a mouse. This desktop controller gives the MASTER X HD plug-in a physical surface on your desk. It connects over USB, is bus powered and needs no additional drivers.

Three bands, one set of parameters

The plug-in runs expansion, compression and limiting across 3 bands, with soft clip and a mix knob for parallel compression. A Target Curve sets a global processing style for all bands. Target Factors set the frequency focus of each block. You work with one set of parameters, not one set per frequency band.

Choose a block, then turn

Block Select picks the Expander, Compressor or Limiter. Thres/Ratio, Attack/Release and Curve/Factor assign each pair to the left and right encoders. Press Band Gain and Bypass together to solo the selected band.

Your favourites, recalled from the desk

Your own presets appear in the list of 100 on the hardware unit once you set them as favourites. Press the Preset button to browse them. The plug-in needs an active PACE iLok licence. With the DT version, the activation code is on the rear cover of the printed quick start guide.
