Presonus Faderport motorised control surface

[bennifer]

In a mission to afford a bass related product, i'm attempting to raise some cash rather quickly. Anyone interested in this fine Presonus Faderport control surface? After £80 for it, inc post. They sell for about £120 in the shops and £100 on ebay from what i've seen. Basically works with cubase, logic, etc and gives you a motorised fader for whatever channel you have selected. Lets you write automation by hand rather than clicking a mouse (tedious!), and also has play, stop, record etc transport controls. The fader jumps around to whatever it is set in your software on that channel, which looks really cool too, haha.

Looks like:


If there's interest, i'll get a few pics later on. Its perfect condition and all in box, with cable, power supply, etc...

Bump for getting away from mouse clicks and adding a real mixing desk feel to your DAW.

Yeah its a pretty cool little bit of kit and I know what you mean, why did you get rid of the Mackie? Im only getting rid of this to move up to something like that! If it doesn't go by auction on ebay i'll speak to you about your offer! Cheers!

I got rid of the Mackie because it was taking up too much space in my room at uni - they're really good units but watch the faders - I had to replace two faders because the motors went bezerk, but they're standard penny&giles optical units which are easy to fit. I sold about 40 bits of recording gear all at once, and the only part of the mackie I was using regularly was the transport controls - hence my interest in your faderport, it looks like a nifty solution! So I couldn't really justify having a full control surface just for that - wish I hadn't sold it though, banks of moving faders make me look like I know what I'm doing!

I'm after just £60 for this now including postage within the UK. Also interested in trades for any pedals - bass overdrive/distortion or delay, maybe one of those Zoom multieffects bass. Cheers, Ben.

I'd take this if Adobe Audition supported it. I might switch DAW soon, but probably not before you've sold this...
