PreSonus - FaderPort 8
8-Channel Mix Production Controller
Advanced & Innovative DAW ControlThe PreSonus FaderPort is a far more effective way of controlling your DAW rather than just using a keyboard and a mouse. Enabling precise tactile control over mix and automation functions with 8 touch-sensitive, motorized, 100 mm faders and 65 buttons covering 78 different functions, you can quickly zoom in on audio files for editing, adjust your click-track tempo with a simple tap, edit plug-in parameters, manage aux mixes and control track levels with the touch of a finger. Using the FaderPort 8, you’ll enjoy the fastest, most efficient workflow you’ve ever experienced.
Instead of forcing you to revise your mixing method, the FaderPort 8 works with the way you currently mix. You can still use your keyboard and mouse for things they do well, and the FaderPort 8 handles the parameters you want to get your hands on, so you can customize your workflow. Large, illuminated buttons make finding the function you need quick and simple. Eight digital scribble strips offer visual feedback and if you select a track with your mouse, the FaderPort 8 will follow your selection, giving you another way to get to the function you need, right when you need it. This is DAW control how you always wanted it!

Fast and efficientThe FaderPort 8's unique Session Navigator gives you easy access to eight mission-critical functions for ultimate flexibility. Use the large encoder button and companion buttons to tweak and mix with improved efficiency and speed.
Scroll through your timeline, using the encoder, or work measure by measure with the arrow buttons, zoom in and out on the timeline using the encoder and make your tracks larger or smaller with the arrow buttons; navigate and drop markers; and maintain constant control of your main level. Once you start using the Session Navigator, you’ll never look back.
