PreSonus FaderPort 16 - 16-Channel Production USB Control Surface with 16 Motorized Faders and 16 Scribble Strip Displays in Black Finish

The PreSonus FaderPort 16 is the ultimate control surface for musicians, producers, and engineers who want to take their digital audio workstation (DAW) experience to the next level. Offering 16 touch-sensitive, motorized 100 mm faders in a compact and ergonomic design, the FaderPort 16 delivers unprecedented hands-on control of your mix and automation, bringing your workflow to new heights. Whether you're mixing in the box, recording, or automating your tracks, the FaderPort 16 offers the precision and ease-of-use you need for a seamless, intuitive workflow.

Each of the 16 faders is equipped with ultra-responsive, long-throw, touch-sensitive motorized faders that allow for smooth, accurate control of track levels, automation, and plug-in parameters. With a resolution of 10-bit and 1024 steps, the faders provide ultra-smooth and lightning-fast operation, delivering precision control with every move. These faders are complemented by 16 digital Scribble Strip displays, which provide real-time visual feedback, showing track names, automation modes, and parameter values. This combination of tactile control and visual feedback makes the FaderPort 16 a true game-changer for any mixing environment.

The FaderPort 16's Session Navigator is one of its most powerful features. It provides quick access to critical functions such as track scrolling, channel banking, timeline scrolling, and master fader control, allowing you to easily navigate your project without taking your hands off the control surface. This intuitive system enables you to work faster and more efficiently, while the eight additional function buttons and programmable user buttons give you even more flexibility to tailor the control surface to your needs. With the FaderPort 16, you'll be able to move around your session with incredible speed and precision.

Designed to be fully compatible with macOS and Windows systems, the FaderPort 16 supports both HUI and Mackie Control Universal emulation, making it compatible with most major DAWs such as Logic Pro X, Cubase, Pro Tools, and more. Additionally, it features native integration with PreSonus Studio One Pro, which takes full advantage of the control surface's capabilities. Studio One users will benefit from enhanced functionality, including Control Link support, parameter follow, and more, giving you quick access to any control currently under your mouse.

The FaderPort 16 also includes complete transport controls, session management functions, and channel control capabilities, all accessible directly from the surface. With the ability to control automation modes (Touch, Latch, Trim, Write, Read, Off), as well as track functions such as Solo, Mute, and Rec Arm, the FaderPort 16 gives you full control over every aspect of your mix. Optional fader functionality for plug-in editing, bus sends, and pan control makes the FaderPort 16 an all-in-one solution for your DAW needs.

Its sleek, ergonomic design ensures it fits comfortably on any desk or studio setup, while its rugged construction ensures that it can stand up to the demands of both studio and live environments. Whether you're recording, mixing, or automating, the FaderPort 16 will provide you with an enhanced, intuitive workflow that will boost your productivity and creativity.
