MOTU took center stage in the revamped "technology neighborhood" situated in the new North Hall of the Anaheim Convention Center at this year's NAMM show. Visitors were treated to a packed lineup of special guest appearances, training sessions and deep dive presentations by top industry pros. In addition, audiences got a sneak preview of the new Touch Console™, the mobile web app designed for MOTU audio interface users, giving them wireless, multitouch mixing from any tablet or smartphone.
