PreSonus FaderPort DAW Controller
FaderPort puts a real fader under your hand without giving up the keyboard and mouse you already mix with. All three share the same 100 mm touch-sensitive motorized fader, so writing a fade or riding automation in real time feels like a console rather than a mouse drag, and the Session Navigator encoder handles scrolling, zooming, track sizing, marker drops, and master level from one control.
The single-fader FaderPort covers more than forty functions and follows your mouse selection. The FaderPort 8 adds seven more faders, 65 buttons covering 78 functions, and eight digital scribble strips. The FaderPort 16 puts sixteen faders in a chassis that still sits on a desk, with mute and solo per channel and level, pan, send, and plug-in modes on every fader. All three support HUI and Mackie Control, including customized modes for Logic, Cubase, and Ableton Live, and connect over USB with no driver install.
