Presonus Faderport 16 Mix Production Controller

Description

Don�t kill that mouse�give it a companion.
Although a keyboard and mouse are tried-and-true DAW-control devices, they�re far more effective when used in tandem with the FaderPort 16�s precise tactile control over mix and automation functions. A superior solution for anyone who mixes in the box, only the FaderPort 16 provides 16 100 mm touch-sensitive, motorized faders and 89 buttons covering 104 different functions, all in a compact chassis that easily sits on any desk. Quickly zoom in on audio files for editing, modify plug-in parameters, manage aux mixes�and, of course, control track levels with the touch of a finger. With the FaderPort 16, you�ll enjoy the fastest, most efficient workflow you�ve ever experienced.

Work faster and smarter.
Rather than forcing you to revise your mixing method, the FaderPort 16 augments the way you currently mix. You still use your faithful keyboard and mouse for things they do well, and the FaderPort 16 handles what you really want to get your fingers on: your mix. Having the ability to control the levels of 16 channels at once makes creating the perfect mix easier than ever before. And the FaderPort 16 allows you to view just the information you need to access. Sixteen digital scribble strips provide visual feedback. Quickly navigate between tracks and buses. Need to automate your virtual instruments? The FaderPort 16 lets you view just those tracks, making switching automation tasks a breeze. This is DAW control the way you always hoped it could be!

Universal compatibility and tight Studio One integration.
FaderPort 16�s streamlined workflow and support for the Mackie Control and HUI protocols make it fast and easy to control virtually any DAW. No driver installation is necessary; just plug the control surface into a USB port and take command of your mix and plug-ins.

An amazingly fast, efficient studio workflow awaits you!
