IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR EXISTING SADIE 6 USERS

You should continue to use the existing version of SADiE and additional downloads that you have installed. The Free version is not a direct upgrade or replacement for fully licensed SADiE 6 systems and should be treated as a separate, license free edition.

The free release is intended only for use on new computers that do not rely on certain legacy features or older, discontinued hardware. Support for key functionalities, such as CEDAR plugins and CD burning and reading has been removed (though DDP writing is still available). The bundled iZotope tools are no longer included in this version.

Additionally, while the FREE version remains compatible with BB2, BB2J, and LRX2 hardware, this should be approached with caution and only on a fresh system to avoid overwriting any existing licensed installation. This release does not support older SADiE hardware such as PCM4, PCM8, H8, H16, or H64.

Hardware controllers: Master Control Panel - Discontinued

  • Overview
  • Master
  • Faders
  • USB Interface

SADiE master hardware controller
At the centre of SADiE's Master Control Panel is a weighted wheel which allows the traditional audio editing method of audibly scrubbing audio across a play head. Of course the world has moved on quite a bit since the days of quarter-inch tape, but being able to scrub audio adds a particularly quick editing technique to the arsenal of others that exist in a computer editor.

Around the wheel are placed edit control keys and transports; to the right side there are keys that can be bank-selected through user-programmable keys and locator functions. There's a single motorised and touch sensitive long-throw fader that can be mapped to any fader on the mixer.

Repeated tasks can be accomplished much quicker - the fingers will always be able to skip across a row of keys quicker than a mouse can be moved and pointed at an on-screen button.

The SADiE Master Control Panel has an advantage over third party controllers in that the software editing interface was designed in conjunction with this controller at the earliest stage of development - this is not a "bolt-on"; the software and hardware operate hand in hand.

The use of RS-422 connections gives a tight and responsive control over edit and scrub functions.

These units are built to last. Many of the original controllers are still in daily use in major broadcasters after more than ten years.

Features:

  • Weighted jog/shuttle wheel.
  • A single fully automated moving fader.
  • Assignable function keys.
  • Requires one RS422 port on a SADiE CAT card or the SADiE USB hardware controller interface for use with native systems
  • Supplied with power supply and all interconnecting cables
  • Compatible with all versions of SADiE software from v3.0 onwards
  • Master Control panel may be used on its own without the Fader Panel
