This compact and powerful 1-channel USB MIDI fader controller brings the tactile control you've been longing for, offering an intuitive interface for controlling your mix with precision and ease.

With over 40 key functions, the FaderPort offers a wide array of controls at your fingertips. The motorized fader allows for smooth, real-time adjustments, and the built-in Session Navigator enhances your workflow by providing quick access to eight critical functions. These include track scrolling, timeline navigation, zooming, and marker control. The large encoder knob and its companion buttons are designed to speed up your editing and mixing tasks, enabling you to scroll through your timeline with ease, zoom in and out, and manage track sizes and markers efficiently. Once you start using the Session Navigator, it will quickly become an indispensable part of your production process.

The FaderPort is compatible with both macOS and Windows systems, offering deep integration with Studio One Pro and full support for the Mackie Control and HUI protocols. This makes it an ideal control surface for DAWs like Logic Pro X, Cubase, and Pro Tools, allowing seamless control of your mix without needing additional driver installations - simply plug it into your USB port and get started right away.

In addition to the intuitive interface and deep DAW integration, the FaderPort comes with a variety of useful features that streamline your workflow.

The FaderPort also provides full control over automation modes (Touch, Latch, Trim, Write, Read, and Off), as well as essential channel functions like Level, Pan, Solo, Mute, and Record Arm. The unit also includes a footswitch input for hands-free control of play/stop functions (footswitch not included).
