The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Single motorized fader with pickup mode prevents abrupt jumps; 40+ customizable function buttons; deep DAW integration (Studio One, Logic, Cubase, Reaper); encoder knob for parameter modulation; intuitive one-to-one mapping reduces menu diving
Requires USB connection and compatible DAW (check PreSonus integration list); minimal learning curve for Studio One users; pairs well with keyboard/mouse for hybrid workflow; no audio I/O—purely control-focused device
A focused mixing controller that justifies its price through ergonomic efficiency and reduced eye-strain mixing sessions. Motorized fader feedback and button density make it the pragmatic choice for producers who refuse to sacrifice tactility on a budget.

FaderPort® DAW Controller
A fantastic solution for anyone who mixes in the box, the FaderPort augments the way you currently mix. You'll still use your faithful keyboard and mouse for things they do well while getting your hands on your mix with over 40 key functions under your fingertips. This is DAW control the way you always hoped it could be!
Write fades and automation in real-time with the FaderPort's 100 mm touch-sensitive, motorized fader. Quickly zoom in on audio files for editing. Control track levels with the touch of a finger. With the FaderPort, you'll enjoy the fastest, most efficient workflow you've ever experienced.
The FaderPort's unique Session Navigator provides easy access to eight mission-critical functions for maximum flexibility. Use the large encoder button and companion buttons to edit and mix with greater efficiency and speed. Scroll through your timeline or work measure by measure; zoom in and out on the timeline and make your tracks larger or smaller; navigate and drop markers; even maintain constant control of your main level. Once you start using the Session Navigator, you'll wonder how you mixed without it.
Customized modes provide deep integration with both Fender Studio Pro and Ableton Live. Support for both Mackie Control and HUI protocols also makes it fast and easy to control Logic Pro X, Cubase, Pro Tools, and more. No driver installation is necessary; just plug the control surface into a USB port and take command of your mix.
