The faders aren't motorized, but the programming reads the position of the fader.
Then you can program "events" that turn that position up or down, but the sliders don't move.
But, programming events with that little user interface is such a pain, I just do everything manually.
I don't record enough to justify buying a DAW & a dedicated computer. But, I think it would be fun to use the newest tech.
