We made a patch for Presonus Faderport 8, as some of you might know it does not work 100% out of the box with Cubase, which is a bit frustrating after the first minutes messing with the faders!
We’ve managed to implement many functions, including:
Open main windows (Mixer, Editors, Transport, Ctrl Room)
Metronome on/off
Full, awesome, plugin control
Track expand (visibility options)
Quick Link and selection of multiple tracks - ADDON!
Fixed many shortcuts, like save, undo, redo, etc…
Plugin control allows for complete layout editing, so you can choose how the params will appear on the Faderport 8, and we added button shortcuts to open the GUI of each plugin that is inserted in the selected track, from 1-8, both in the MixConsole or Project Window!
It’s working really good, and we loved the hardware once it’s fixed! We’re finishing up the package and will release it here for the community soon
Check out the initial video, if you want, skip the setup and from minute 12 on I show some of the application examples:
We’ll be making some style video on the functionalities as time goes by!
Hi There
Thanks for doing this !
I’ve been testing this for a couple of days now and is working very well except a few mappings which don’t work
When I open any of my current projects (audio, VI, Bus, VCA, All) Mappings dont work
-They only work with one of your projects from the zip file , however VCA is not mapped corectlly as when i press it i can see FX channels etc
Is there is any way that i can edit those mappings in my own way ? if so how ?
In order for the visibility switches to work, you have to do one of these two things:
Set up your own visibility settings in the MixConsole
Make the empty included project a template, by opening it and choosing File → Save as template… in this case, instead of using the regular empty cubase template you will begin using our FP8 empty template for your new projects
The VCA´s are on SHIFT+VCA button, because I consider FX channels more important… the VCA´s are just a shift away If you change the order of the visibility presets we made, you can adapt to any layout you want
Stay tuned for the coming update… will post here, but you can drop a line to suporte@2600hz.com.br if you want to be notified by email when v2 comes out
Hi dont mean to hijack the thread just curious as to if its at all possible to have the multiple select channels with the scroll whell as showcased in your video with other controllers…basically with the artist transport that im using. Great work by the way im seriously thinking of getting the faderport now:)
Hi guys, to help new FP8 users, I’d like to say that very quickly after we did the patch, PreSonus made a new firmware and added a “Cubase mode” to the FP8. From then on, there was no need anymore for the patch we made.
You can disregard the patch with the newest firmwares of the FP8, and it is not available for download anymore.
