PreSonus FaderPort Mk2 DAW Controller with 100mm Motorised Fader

The PreSonus FaderPort Mk2 is a compact DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) controller designed to enhance the workflow of music producers, audio engineers, and home studio enthusiasts working with software-based mixing. It bridges the gap between purely mouse-and-keyboard operation and tactile hardware control, offering hands-on manipulation of essential mixing parameters. The unit features a single 100mm touch-sensitive, motorised fader that provides precise level adjustment and can write automation in real-time, alongside comprehensive transport controls for recording and playback. Key features include the Session Navigator section, which offers quick access to eight mission-critical functions like timeline scrolling, zooming, and marker navigation. The controller supports multiple DAWs through Mackie Control and HUI emulation protocols, ensuring compatibility with popular software including Logic Pro X, Cubase, Pro Tools, and Ableton Live. It offers deeper, customised integration with Studio One Pro and Ableton Live (version 10.1.5+), allowing for clip launching, scene navigation, and view switching. The hardware connects via USB 2.0 and includes a footswitch input for hands-free operation, though the footswitch itself is not included. This controller is ideally suited for musicians and producers who want a more intuitive, tactile mixing experience without the cost and space requirements of a full-sized control surface. It streamlines common tasks like setting levels, panning, soloing, muting tracks, and writing automation, potentially speeding up the editing and mixing process. The included 6-month access to Studio One Pro+, along with Ableton Live Lite and the Studio Magic software suite, provides significant added value for those building or expanding their digital audio toolkit.
