PreSonus Faderport V2 Controller

Full Description

Easier Control

Simple and easy. With named and back-lit buttons you'll find it easy to control what you need. The Faderport V2 will improve your workflow, allowing you to get to where you need and edit or mix faster. It minimises the time you'd spend clicking through endless controls and parameters in your DAW.

You'll get where you need to be faster. There are buttons for recording, soloing tracks, muting, panning, looping and even bypassing. A-B comparisons will be much quicker. You can choose to bypass all plug-ins on one channel, or bypass all plug-ins on all channels (depending on DAW).

You can switch between read and write modes as well as touch mode, giving you flexible control over the fader. You'll also find many of the new workflows from Faderport 8 and 16. You can even write single-channel or grouped-channel volume, mute and pan automation in real-time. Work better, faster and smarter.

It's flexible too. You can also create your own custom key mappings so you can work faster. With a smooth fader, rotary knob and dedicated DAW buttons, you'll soon see your workflow become more efficient.

There's plenty you can do. The Innovative Session Navigator lets you take full control of your DAW. Simultaneously use the rotary encoder and buttons to scroll through your timeless, zoom in and out, make tracks larger or smaller, navigate and drop markers, and more. Experience quick and easy DAW control with the PreSonus Faderport V2.

Compact and Portable

You'll be able to take this to any studio. It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to travel with. Conveniently, it'll only take up minimal space of your studio desk.

Whenever you get into any studio, you can set it straight up by connecting through the USB. Set up is easy, as there's no driver installation needed. Just plug in and play. The Faderport V2 offers control for Logic Pro X, Cubase, Ableton Live, Pro Tools and more.

Free Software

A free DAW is also included. You'll find PreSonus have provided you with Studio One Artist. This is an intuitive, effective DAW that lets you create professional music. Working with any DAW is seamless with the Faderport V2. You'll be amazed at how much faster you can work.
