    This tutorial is better detailed than the one from PreSonus. Plus the PreSonus one (on RUclips) assumes the viewer was intimately familiar with the original, and leaves out critical information.
    Sweetwater is a great resource on several levels.

    The best controller for Cubase 12 - after the production of the Steinberg CC121 has ceased - for me is the PreSonus FaderPort V2 (one fader) together with the new version (23.08.2023) of the midi remote script written by Werner Mairegger with the extensions written by Christian Oestmann. The new version of this script can be found in the Cubase Steinberg Forum under the topic "PreSonus FaderPort 2 (2018) midi remote script". Actually, the script can do more than what the CC121 was able to do, because so far 90 functions have been realized with the script: 27 functions for each track/channel, 19 functions for transport, 23 functions for navigation and editing and 21 other functions. And all this I get for only about 170 Euros for the Controller which is compact and very ergonomic. :-)

    I have a question andI hope you can solve it. I use Logic Pro X as my DAW and I bought the Presonus Faderport 2 mainly for automation purposes. Now, every time I want to use it to write my Expression (or other features either on 'region' or 'track') it switches automatically to 'Volume' the moment I merely touch the fader. Is that my setup problem? Thanks.

      Hello, Russell! I dug through the manual a little bit, and my findings were somewhat inconclusive. You can configure this in a lot of different ways with MIDI, but the only thing specifically mentioned is pitch bend on page 42:
      pae-web.presonusmusic.com/downloads/products/pdf/FaderPort_OwnersManual_V2_EN_30122019.pdf
      You might be able to set a parameter in a software instrument via MIDI learn, and messing with the fader, but without trying it myself I'm not sure.
      Thanks for the interest!

    Hi,
    Sweetwater.
    I need your help!!
    I work in Studio One 5 and the NI Kontakt sampler with orchestral libraries from Spitfire, Cinematic Studio and VST synthesizers of orchestral instruments from SWAM. To work, I need to control the parameters of dynamic automation (Volume, Expression, Vibrato, etc.) during the live (performance) of a musical part. I am considering buying a Presonus Faderport 8, because it is equipped with motorized faders. This is what is required in my work.
    I didn't find an answer to my question on the forum of the Presonus website.
    Please help me. For convenience, I will state my questions on the points:
    1. Is it possible to link Presonus Classic faders (Faderport 8) to the volume, expression, vibrato parameters in each NI Kontakt orchestral library, so that they are constantly stored in memory for constant use?
    2. I will be glad if item 1 is possible! You could have suggested how to configure this in Studio One:)
    3. If points 1 and 2 are possible, will the Faderport 8 motorized feeders automatically connect to the already recorded dynamic automation settings?
    Thank you in advance! I really hope for your help!!!

This equipment is the previous update or have different characteristics? Could you recommend me which one to buy? Thank you!

      @sweetwater  5 лет назад

      Hello, Luiz. The current model is the Faderport V2. The previous version is discontinued, so that makes your choice easy. For lack of a better description, it is newer with improvements. It replaces the previous version.

  • @koreanfriedchildren
    @koreanfriedchildren 6 лет назад +13

    Looks handy, but I swear I can do everything it does with the keyboard and mouse FASTER. The only thing that makes it desirable for me would be the fader for automation, but ever since pre-insert/fader Clip Gain showed up in Tools I never use automation anymore. It looks awesome though, dammit makes me wanna try it out lol

    • @philfyphil
      @philfyphil 5 лет назад +3

      You are just kidding yourself for the sake of it! There are a multitude of different scenarios where it speeds up the workflow! Even something as simple as using the Faderport transport controls whilst working with plugins with mouse etc is a time saver. what's more, when you place one of these adjacent to a Roland TD drum kit or perhaps a synth, it makes a fantastic remote control device for stopping starting record etc without having to get up and go back to the DAW. So you are assuming this will always be placed within reach of the DAW itself, whereas there are many other different places it can sit within the studio. Yes, there is a remote option available for tablets, but a tablet would cost more than the Faderport to start with, and I would argue it's a far more intuitive device to use.

  • @hammincheese1310
    @hammincheese1310 2 года назад

    Is there any problem with extending the USB connection to the host? If I get this, it's going to be located about 15-20' away from my DAW and the included 6' cable would therefore not be long enough. I'd need to use an active repeater.

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  2 года назад

      Hi, thanks for your interest! I wouldn't recommend using a repeater for anything carrying audio data, but since the Faderport is just sending MIDI control data, I wouldn't foresee any issues. Feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!

Tech didn’t know any more than I did about the unit or setting it up . Kinda sad not gonna lie . Tried to order the cubase controller and was told it was no longer being made . I then spoke to a tech a steinberg and that was news to them so I’m waiting to hear back from him on from them . If your using presonus I’m guessing it will work out of the box any other software and it’s a 50/50 it will work buyer beware.! :(

    This new version seems designed more for PreSonus own software Studio One and is very limited (Mackie control only) for other DAW's. They should of designed it so you can program each button personally like you can with NI Maschine midi control. The motorized fader is the only advantage here and the rest is confusing and are labeled strange for other DAW's.
