A motorized control surface for mixing, plugins and transport. Eight knobs, eight scribble strips, 31 keys. For Pro Tools, Ableton Live and Logic Pro.
Change track or page and all eight knobs turn to the new values together. When you reach for one, it's sitting at the real value, so nothing jumps.
The motors also give each parameter its own feel: steps for switched values, a firm stop at each end of the range.
A 21-segment halo shows where each parameter sits. The scribble strip under it names the parameter and shows its value: Mid Gain, −2.2 dB.
Press the button below a knob to switch it to a second parameter, such as Mid Freq to Mid Q.
The glow around every knob takes the mode's color, so you can tell which one you're in from across the room.
Bead-blasted, anodized aluminum faceplate and knobs. A brushless motor and a magnetic position sensor under every knob, reading 16,384 steps per turn.
31 mechanical keys for transport, modes and your own commands, and a main display for meters and pages.

No. ARC Surface 8 is built for knob work: plugins, sends and channel strips. In MIX mode the knobs set level and pan for eight tracks, and it sits happily next to a fader controller.
Both. The ARC app runs on macOS and Windows. Logic Pro itself is Mac only.
The knobs follow the plugin on the selected track through your DAW's own control-surface support. A list of tested plugins will be published before pre-orders open.
