Well I guess I'll wait till it goes down a little since I already have an Icon but this is on my wishlist. I think we've been waiting years for this. www.sonicstate.com/news/2018/01/25/presonus-ships-faderport-16-control-surface/Well at least since the Tascam us-2400 died away into the land of non-supported. I've nearly switched completely over to Studio One which makes it even more desirable for me.

Harrison Mixbus now supports the older tascam 2400 control surface.

I love my faderport but I’ve already been through 3 of them. The stop/play buttons are weak on them and break after about a year of heavy use from editing.
It’s not a big deal for me though. At 100 bucks, they basically disposable. 1k is a bit steep though unless they addressed this problem for this unit. Any control surface would be useless without the transport section.

Harrison Mixbus now supports the older tascam 2400 control surface. how ? They would have needed to update the win and apple drivers? Right ?

I have the fp1 which seems very cheaply made. I had a fp8 for a bit liked it and thought it better made, sold it cus I heard the 16 was coming but hoped 16 would be a little cheaper
Great feature set and like cowboy said: loved the transport functionality and miss it still.
The tascam 2400 looked great: shame about the dropped driver support:(

That’s amazing. I spoke to tascam support about this just a couple of weeks ago and the Apple code was back at panther and win about the same.
Is this discussed on the mixbuss site or how do you know ?
Thx !

I haven't been on the Harrison forum lately, but I get emails from Harrison with offers/info/etc., and I believe that I read it there. There is also a guy somewhere who developed the necessary code to use Softube Control 1MKII with Mixbuss, IIRC. I may have seen that on the UAD Forums site.
BTW, Mixbus already supports Faderport as well as the Behringer unit. Harrison had talked about developing their own control and maybe these are steps towards that goal.

Harrison Mixbus now supports the older tascam 2400 control surface. I am going to have a Tascam 2400 Control Surface for sale soon if there are any Mixbus users here who are interested.

I also have been waiting for this for a long time. I probably have to wait for the price to drop but ever since I got rid of my console I have wanted faders back.

I had the fp8 and loved the transport controls and jumping around in session(markers), the faders have a good: light but there touch and automation always worked well.
Couple ways to do balance and panning: became second nature soon enough you just need to be consistent for it to become muscle memorized.
it maps to plugs easily enough
Basically, everything worked so I expect more of same.
Now, that I am using my Delta 16 channel Board, thought the fp 16 made sense for channel control and with 1 button, it can switch so 8 are your aux so I think it will work in well with my new hybrid analog/digital workflow .

I wish these had a master fader. Believe you can set the rotary to be a master or get a used fb1 and use it: it can be used with a fp8 or 16.

I love my Faderport (original) with Reaper and Studio one, but PT doesn't care for it so much. They want you to use their Eucon stuff which, to it's credit, is supposed to have higher res and faster response time. A bunch of features don't work in PT with the Faderport, though. I can only use the FP on one of the first 8 tracks. Banking won't work for me, never has. So if I have a FP 16, will I only be able to use 8 Faders in PT?

I have an older PT license. I think 11. I’ll fire it up when I have the fp16 here and see what happens.

I do seem to always run into PT with clients and studios so I am thinking of going full on. I like S1 but it's far from a polished DAW and in my opinion the volume automation is poor. I also have serious problems with flyback on S1 and it messes up everything - I worked with support and even made videos for them. Their response was "we can't create the same behavior on our end" And they just dropped it at that. Well, whoopdie do. It's sure as hell happening on my end. Thanks for.... nothing? Reaper has been good but they are falling behind in tech in some ways(not that AVID isn't) All roads point to PT right now. I'm on 2018.1. So if I go Mac, I may as well go Artist mix as well... If the FP16 works though, that's different.

That is definitely a fair option for folks deciding between the two at the same price. However, I hate touch screens, personally. Ipads, tablets all that stuff just frustrates the living daylights out of me when trying to run a DAW. I strongly prefer something I can put my hands on and feel. Screens can be buggy and hard to do fine movements on.

Spot on, Why does every marketing video show people dancing their fingers over the screen multi-tasking and swiping with flourishes. and everytime I use a touch screen I end up banging on the screen with every single digit like a 90 year old.

Its misleading as it depends which plugs in you are manipulating, personally I prefer a real device and using my ears not my eyes.

All about what works for you, with little or no sensation in most of what fingers I have on the left hand I funny enough need the tactile feel of an encoder, or I have learned to use them after 38 years of fighting ( the left median nerve was repaird after I fell through a door at 12, then add in the loss of thumb and half a finger and the ulner nerve being moved during burn recovery and to put it as bluntly as the guy who is the hand surgeon who works on all the top athletes "Yeah Eric your pretty much fucked I'm amazed you can use the thing at all).

Exactly. While the new gestures Raven video looks neat, he's swiping like mad all over. But then you look at the things he's doing. I dunno. I just don't swing stuff around like that! Where's the fine control? It's like swatting a swarm of flies away from your face.
