Digidesign's commitment to upgradability provides one of the truly unique benefits of a Digidesign system. Digidesign offers hardware exchanges for two reasons: to help longtime users get the newest system at a reduced cost, and to allow users to expand the capabilities of their DAW as their needs change.
All registered owners of select Pro Tools LE Systems (Digi 001, Digi 002, Digi 002 Rack, Mbox, Mbox 2, Mbox Mini and Digi Toolbox/Audiomedia III) can exchange their current system up to 003 Factory or 003 Rack / Factory.
003 Factory and 003 Rack Hardware Exchange Program
The 003 Factory / 003 Rack Hardware Exchange program provides the opportunity for registered owners of select Pro Tools LE System to exchange up to a 96 kHz-capable, FireWire-based 003 Factory or 003 Rack recording system. The 003 and 003 Rack feature 8 channels of analog I/O (with 4 mic pres), 10 channels of digital I/O and built-in MIDI I/O. Additionally, the Digi 003 includes an integrated control surface with 8 touch-sensitive motorized faders, and 8 motion-sensitive rotary encoders. The Digi 003 Rack includes the same I/O capabilities as 003 Factory, but in a 2U enclosure.
Turbocharged Exchange Music Production Toolkit Bonus
When owners move up to any 003 system through the Turbocharged 003 Exchange Program, they get the Music Production Toolkit, a superior package of professional music creation and production software (including over $2,000 worth of professional plug-ins), at tremendous savings. Customers get the Music Production Toolkit for 50% off of the $495 retail price when they exchange up to 003 Rack, 70% off when they exchange up to 003 Rack Factory, or free when they exchange up to 003 Factory.
