FaderPort® 8 DAW Controller
FaderPort® 8 DAW Controller
Overview
FaderPort® 8 provides precise tactile control over mix and automation functions. With eight touch-sensitive, motorized, 100 mm faders and 65 buttons covering 78 different functions, you can quickly zoom in to edit audio, adjust your tempo with a simple tap, edit plug-ins, and control track levels.
Designed to work seamlessly with your mouse and keyboard, the FaderPort 8 follows your mouse selection, so the track you want to control is always under your fingertips. Illuminated buttons make it easy to find the function you need. Eight digital scribble strips provide visual feedback. With the FaderPort 8, you'll enjoy the fastest, most efficient workflow you've ever experienced.
The FaderPort 8's unique Session Navigator provides easy access to mission-critical functions for maximum flexibility. Use the large encoder button and companion buttons to edit and mix with greater efficiency and speed. Scroll through your timeline or work measure by measure; zoom in and out on the timeline; adjust track size; navigate and drop markers; even maintain constant control of your main level. Once you start using the Session Navigator, you'll wonder how you mixed without it.
Customized modes provide deep integration with both Studio One Pro and Ableton Live. Support for both Mackie Control and HUI protocols also makes it fast and easy to control Logic Pro X, Cubase, Pro Tools, and more. No driver installation is necessary; just plug the control surface into a USB port and take command of your mix.
