Presonus Faderport 8 Advanced, Innovative DAW Control
FaderPort™ 8: 8-Channel Mix Production Controller
While a keyboard and mouse are proven DAW control devices, they are much more effective when combined with the FaderPort 8 midi controller ‘s precise tactile control over mixing and automation functions. With 8 touch-sensitive, motorized, 100mm faders and 65 knobs with 78 different functions, you can quickly zoom in on audio files for editing, adjust your click-track tempo with a simple tap, change plug-in parameters, manage aux mixes —And, of course, control the track levels with one finger. With the FaderPort 8, you’ll enjoy the fastest, most efficient workflow you’ve ever experienced.
Work faster and smarter.
Instead of forcing you to rethink your mixing method, the FaderPort 8 augments the way you currently mix. You’re still using your trusty keyboard and mouse for things they do right, and the FaderPort 8 handles the features you want to use so you can customize your workflow. Large, backlit buttons make finding the function you need quick and easy. Eight digital scribble strips provide visual feedback. And when you select a track with your mouse, the FaderPort 8 follows your selection, giving you yet another way to get the feature you need, right when you need it. This is DAW control you always hoped for!
One-button access to key functions. *
The FaderPort 8’s unique Session Navigator provides easy access to eight mission-critical functions for maximum flexibility. Use the large encoder knob and associated knobs to edit and mix more efficiently and faster. Scroll through your timeline using the encoder or work measure by measure with the arrow buttons; zoom in and out on the timeline with the encoder and make your tracks bigger or smaller with the arrow keys; navigate and drop markers; and maintain constant control over your main level. Once you start using the Session Navigator, you’ll wonder how you mixed without it.
- Features may vary depending on your software.
Universal compatibility and tight Studio One® integration.
FaderPort 8’s streamlined workflow and support for Mackie Control and HUI protocols make it quick and easy to control virtually any DAW. No driver installation is required; plug the control surface into a USB port and take command of your mix and plugins.
But the presonus FaderPort 8 is nothing short of magical when used with PreSonus Studio One. (Studio One Artist is included.) You will be amazed at how much faster you can work.
