Installation and Connections
Page 8 CM Labs MotorMate Owner’s Manual
Multiple Unit Configurations
Multiple units will control the mixer by 16, 24, or 32
channels at a time. MotorMate will control the lower 8
channels in a bank, and MotorMix will control the remain-
ing channels in the bank of 16, 24, or 32. View switching
will be 16, 24, or 32 channels wide. View changes can be
done from either MotorMate or MotorMix. Plug-in control
is done entirely from MotorMate.
Connections
Connect MotorMate to your MIDI interface with both MIDI
cables and MotorMix with both MIDI cables to another
MIDI port on your interface.
Multiple units act as separate MIDI devices. The Motor-
Mate and MotorMixes each must be set up identically in
your MIDI device definitions except for the device names
you use. In ProTools or Digital Performer, set up the
MotorMix as an additional MIDI controller. MotorMate
must remain first in the controller list.
If you wish to physically connect MotorMate and Motor-
Mix together, see page 9.
Troubleshooting
Problems can occur in 3 areas.
1.) MotorMate
MotorMate Final Test
Using a known good MIDI cable, simply connect the
MotorMate MIDI output directly into the MIDI input on
MotorMate. Press and hold the ENTER and ESC
switches on MotorMate and apply power. MotorMate will
enter Final Test mode.
MIDI:
With a MIDI cable connected from MIDI IN to MIDI OUT
there should be a capital m (M) appear just to the right of
the word “Test” on the lower row of the LCD.
Fader Touch:
Touch each MotorMate fader knob. The channel LED’s
and Time Code LED’s should light.
Fader Position:
Move the faders from bottom to top and upper row of the
LCD display will display fader position from 000 to 255.
Rotary Pots:
Rotate the rotary pots, and the motorized faders should
move up and down.
Switches and LED’s:
Press each MotorMate switch and its associated LED
should lite, and the Time Code display should light when
the switch is down.
View and Zoom sticks:
Push either stick in all 4 directions (left-right and up-
down). The associated LED’s will light (along with the
Time Code LED’s) to indicate which direction you are
pushing.
Push either stick in. All of the associated LED’s will light
(along with the Time Code LED’s).
Jog Wheel:
Rotate the Jog Wheel clockwise and the lower row of the
LCD will show “Forward SS PP” where SS is the speed
you are rotating the wheel, and PP is the absolute
position of the wheel. The position should go from 00 to
3F.
Rotate the Jog Wheel counter clockwise and the lower
row of the LCD will show “Backward SS PP” where SS is
the speed you are rotating the wheel, and PP is the
absolute position of the wheel. The position should go
from 3F to 00.
If the self test fails, then contact CM Labs at
[email protected].
2.) The MIDI interface must talk to the computer operat-
ing system. If your MIDI interface installation disk in-
cludes a diagnostic program, run that to check the
integrity of the interface and its communication with the
operating system. If you can successfully run a diagnos-
tic program, then proceed to step 3 below.
If it does not have a diagnostic, or the diagnostic fails,
consult the manufacturer of the interface.
3.) The computer operating system must talk with the
DAW application. Recheck all the MIDI setup settings
you made in Windows, Free MIDI, or the Apple OSX
AMS setup. If these steps are in order, then recheck the
software setups.

CM Labs MotorMate Owner’s Manual Page 9
Installation and Connections
Connecting chassis bottoms
1.) Position the Chassis Bottoms side by side just as they
will be connected together. Don’t worry about keeping
track of which bottom goes with which top. Insert four 4-
40 machine screws between each chassis bottom and
finger tighten the nuts.
2.) Check and adjust the alignment between the Chassis
Bottoms, and tighten the 4-40 screws.
Re-Fitting Top Covers
1.) Position the Chassis Bottom assembly so the Power
Modules side face you.
2.) Move a Top Cover into position over one end of the
chassis bottom assembly. Position Top Cover at about a
45 degree angle with the rear side high. Slip Top Cover at
fader side over edge of Chassis Bottom and lower rear
side down to rest on ledge of Chassis Bottom.
4.) Lift the Top Cover slightly at rear and reach inside and
plug in the Power Module Cables. Note: The locking tabs
on the connectors go towards the center of the Power

SEVERE AND WIDESPREAD DAMAGE WILL RE-
SULT WHEN POWER IS APPLIED.
5.) Lower the Top Cover completely while checking for
binding wires inside along the top.
6.) Repeat steps 1 - 5 above for remaining units without
forcing the Top Covers fully down. When lowering the
remaining tops into final position they may become tight
at the top edge. Lift the entire assembly at the center and
they should drop into place.
Securing Top Covers
1.) Install the (3) #4 Black Phillips sheet metal screws
into each chassis rear but do not tighten.
2.) Install the (6) 4-40 Black Allen screws into each Top
Cover but do not tighten.
3.) Install the (9) #4 Black Panhead Phillips sheet metal
screws into each chassis front but do not tighten.
4.) Check and adjust the alignment between the Chassis
Bottoms, and tighten the 4-40 Black Allen screws.
5.) Tighten all remaining screws.
6.) Turn Power Switches off on all units and connect
power cables.
7.) Power on a unit and check for proper power up cycle.
Repeat for all units. Note that the LCD contrast controls
should be adjusted until all units have same contrast.
Multiple Unit Assembly
MotorMate and MotorMix units can be physically con-
nected to each other to create a single larger console.
You may connect MotorMate and as many as 3
MotorMixes together to create a 32 channel console.
Tools required
1.) #4 Phillips head screwdriver.
2.) 1/16” Allen wrench or driver.
Parts Required
1.) 4 pieces 4-40 x 3/8” Phillips head screws (per unit).
2.) 4 pieces 4-40 Nut with captive lock washers (per unit).
Preparation
1.) Remove power cables from all units.
2.) Remove any other cables connected to the units.
Top Cover Removal
1.) Remove 6 Phillips head screws on front and rear of
chassis on all Motor Mix units.
2.) Remove 6 Allen Panhead screws from top of all Motor
Mix units.
3.) Turn the MotorMix units so the back sides (power
entry side) are facing you.
4.) Lift up the rear of the top cover about 2 inches and
rest it on the ledge provided inside.
5.) Raise the rear cover up about 2 inches more with one
hand. With your free hand disconnect the 2 cables
plugged in to the Power Module in the chassis bottom.
Rest the chassis top back on the inside ledge.
6.) Reach your arm over Motor Mix and grab the chassis
at the front (near the faders). With your other hand, lift the

Upper and Lower Panels
MotorMate Upper Panel
The MotorMate Upper Panel is the control surface for many of the mixer functions on all the session channels or
tracks. From this panel, you will control the pans, sends, plug-in’s, mutes, solos, record readies, grouping functions,
automation modes, automation enables, timecode display and meters. Additionally this panel has the waveform
navigator section and operates the stereo monitor section inside MotorMate and surround monitoring by connecting a
CM Labs SixtyFour Studio Router. The SixtyFour and the CM Labs MP-8 Mic Preamps are also controlled from the
upper panel of MotorMate. The LCD display is indispensable. It shows all track names, parameter settings and
operator messages.
MotorMate Lower Panel
The MotorMate Lower Panel has the motorized touch sensitive faders and is the work surface for all the transport and
editing functions. From this panel, you access the autolocator and the next and last locate switches. The modifier
switches expand the functions of both the Upper and Lower Panels of MotorMate. The Clipboard Controls, in
conjunction with the Navigator section on the upper panel, provide complete control of all waveform editing. The
Save and Undo switches control the session file. Finally, the high resolution precision Jog/Shuttle wheel and related
controls provide rapid and very fine control of edit regions and punch in/out points.

label”, where “Channel label” is the un-truncated name
you have given the selected channel. The bottom row of
the LCD will show inserts 1-4 for the selected channel. If
the insert has no plug-in assigned, it will display “No
Insert”.
If an insert has a plug-in assigned, its name will appear
(up to 10 characters long) on the bottom row of the LCD.
If the plug-in name (or “No Insert”) is blinking on and off,
that indicates that insert is selected in the channel. If the
plug-in name on the LCD has only upper case letters,
then the plug-in is not bypassed. If the plug-in name
contains any lower case letters, then the plug-in is
bypassed. Rotate the rotary selector clockwise and insert
5 will appear on the LCD. Rotate the rotary selector
counter clockwise and inserts 1-4 will appear on the LCD.
Parameter Control
To pick a plug-in for editing, press either of the 2 channel
SELECT switches below the desired insert. If the plug-in
is a slap delay on insert 4 (for example), the top row of
the LCD will briefly show: “Page 1/2 slap delay (Ins
4)”. This means that page 1 of 2 parameter pages is
displayed, the plug-in is a slap delay and it is on insert 4
in the channel strip. Following this, the first 4 of the
selected plug-in parameter names will appear on the
bottom row of the LCD and their setting will be to the
right of the parameter name.
If the parameter is a switch, the parameter name
appears on the top row of the LCD with its value just to
the right. The channel SELECT switches will control the
switch state, and the LED will show the on/off state. If the
parameter is a continuous type, the rotary pot below the
parameter will change its value. Since there are only 4
parameters displayed on MotorMate at a time, use the
even numbered rotary pots to make adjustments.
Push the View Stick up, and the LCD will briefly show
“Page 2/2 slap delay (Ins 4)”. This means that page 2
of 2 parameter pages is displayed, the plug-in is a slap
delay and it is on insert 4 in the channel strip. Here, all
the parameters on page 2 can be viewed or changed.
Pushing the View Stick up goes up through the pages,
and pushing it down goes down through the pages.
Plug-In Bypass
