Presonus FaderPort Software Controller

Full Description

Versatile Control Unit

The Presonus FaderPort Software Controller is designed to improve your workflow, minimising the time you spend clicking through endless controls and parameters in your DAW. The FaderPort features a premium-quality, motorized Alps fader, normally reserved for high end controls surfaced and digital mixing consoles. Its 1,024-step resolution and dual-servo drive-belt motor ensure optimal smoothness and a seamless response.

It also features a range of large transport controls including the standard Stop, Play, Fast FWD, Rewind and Record buttons. The ‘Fader Mode’ section allows you to switch between Reading and Write modes as well as a ‘Touch’ mode and an Off button to give you flexible control over your fader.

Intuitive Layout

The highly intuitive layout lays out all the major functions and controls in a clear and concise configuration. Mute, Solo and Rec buttons are included for added control within your DAW allow you to control different parameters with each button. You can even create your own custom key mappings, allowing you to cater to your favourite parameters, VSTS and anything else within your selected DAW.

You can use the PreSonus FaderPort to do everything from recording fades to write single-channel or grouped-channel automation in real-time. The rugged metal top plate and military-grade buttons ensure the FaderPort will withstand the rigours of prolonged use.
