Take charge of your mixes! PreSonus’ new Faderport 8 expands on the concepts on which the popular Faderport is based; simplicity, flexibility, and hands-on control, all at an affordable price. The Faderport 8 offers eight touch-sensitive, 100-mm motorized faders, eight high-definition scribble strip displays, a footswitch input, and 57 buttons covering 78 different functions. You can control mix functions including track record arming, zoom in/out on audio files for editing, adjust your click-track tempo with a simple tap, modify plug-in parameters, manage aux mixes — and, of course, control track levels with the simple touch of a finger!
You get transport controls, solo, mute, automation control, panning, and so much more — there are even user-assignable controls that you can put to work however you like. It’s all designed to streamline your workflow by letting you get hands on — and more creative — with your mix.
The Faderport 8 supports Mackie Control and HUI protocols, so it’s compatible with just about any DAW right out of the box. And, if you’re a Studio One user, you’ll get total integration and support for features such as:
- Bypass all the plug-ins on any given track with the push of a button
- Open the Channel Editor and enable your faders to control each channel’s custom macro
- With the Link Parameter, the Pan/Param encoder can follow your mouse, providing instant hands-on control of any parameter — or lock the encoder to the current parameter
- Use the Session Navigator to quickly scroll through the different sections in the Arranger track
