FADER_8
FADER_8 is a hackable bank of 8 motorized faders. It runs on 5V through a DC barrel connector and has USB and Ethernet connections.
Our open source firmware for FADER_8 is called FADER_X. It includes a handy webpage, hosted from the FADER_8, that you can access to change its behavior. It’s available on Github, along with instructions for updating and configuring it.
With FADER_X firmware, FADER_8 can control (and be controlled by) all sorts of devices, including:
USB MIDI for applications such as vMix
QLab (UDP OSC)
ETC Eos (TCP OSC)
X32/M32 (UDP OSC)
DiGiCo (UDP OSC)
Since it’s built on the Teensy 4.1 development board, it’s possible to write new custom software to make FADER_8 behave *exactly* how you want.
Includes
FADER_8 Control Surface
Teensy 4.1 preinstalled and programmed with FADER_X firmware
5V 4A power supply with US-style plug
3’ Micro USB Cable
