PreSonus FaderPort 8 – Motorised DAW Control Surface

DAW Control Made Easy

The all new PreSonus FaderPort 8 closes the gap between keyboard and controller, granting the user more mixing freedom than ever before by incorporating a host of new hardware and aesthetic changes. Although the mouse and keyboard approach is still totally viable here, the FaderPort 8 handles a lot more of the features you’d otherwise need them for. Featuring eight 100 mm motorized, touch-sensitive faders, digital scribble strip displays, HUI, Mackie Control, and native Studio One support; and a unique Session Navigator to make mixing and controlling your favorite DAW application quick and easy.

One-Button Access to Key Functions

The FaderPort 8’s unique Session Navigator provides easy access to eight mission-critical functions for maximum flexibility. Dedicated buttons are provided to instantly arm all tracks for recording; control mutes and Solo Clear; view only the tracks, buses, and VCAs you want so see; and more. You’re not limited to preset controls, either: Four programmable User buttons let you quickly and easily access your favorite functions.

Universal Compatibility and Tight Studio One Integration.

FaderPort 8’s streamlined work flow and support for the Mackie Control and HUI protocols make it fast and easy to control virtually any DAW. No driver installation is necessary; just plug the control surface into a USB port and take command of your mix and plug-ins.

But the FaderPort 8 is downright magical when used with PreSonus Studio One. (Studio One Artist is included.) You’ll be amazed how much faster you can work.
