1.1 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the PreSonus FaderPort. PreSonus Audio Electronics has designed

the FaderPort utilizing high-grade components to insure optimum performance that will last a

lifetime.

The FaderPort puts the feel, vibe, and efficiency back into music recording and production. No

more clicking through menus and drawing automation edits with a mouse. The easy-to-use

FaderPort delivers complete transport control for fast and efficient recording along with a

motorized fader for writing fades and automation. The high-quality ultra-smooth motorized

long throw fader on the FaderPort has the feel needed for recording perfect fades and writing

automation in real-time. Pan, mute, solo, and record enable can also be easily controlled with

the FaderPort along with window selection, play, stop, record, and managing markers (locate

points) for fast and easy recording. A foot switch jack is also included on the FaderPort for

hands free punch-in/out recording. The FaderPort works with most Mac or Windows-based

recording software including Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic, and more supported software

is on the way.

We suggest that you use this manual to familiarize yourself with the features, applications and

correct connection procedure for your FaderPort before trying to connect it to your computer.

This will hopefully alleviate any unforeseen issues that you may encounter during setup and use.
