FaderPort 16 USB 16-Channel Mix Production DAW Controller

The FaderPort 16 puts sixteen touch-sensitive, motorized 100mm faders and 89 buttons covering 104 functions on your desk, giving you tactile control over a mix that a mouse alone can't match. Sixteen digital scribble strips show track names and levels at a glance, so you can move between channels and buses without hunting through an on-screen mixer. The Session Navigator groups eight mission-critical functions, from track scrolling to timeline zoom to marker navigation, behind a large encoder and a handful of companion buttons, cutting down on the back-and-forth between mouse and keyboard. Dedicated automation controls handle touch, latch, trim, write, and read modes directly from the surface, and channel controls cover level, pan, solo, mute, and record arm for all sixteen channels at once. The FaderPort 16 works with virtually any DAW through Mackie Control and HUI protocol support, and needs no driver installation, but its native integration with PreSonus Studio One (Studio One Artist included) unlocks the fastest workflow. Mixing a full session or automating a complex arrangement, this control surface turns editing from a series of clicks into something done with your hands.
