Faderfox UC4 - Universal Controller

The Faderfox UC4 is a universal controller for all kinds of midi controllable hardware and software. The all-rounder has 8 gridless push encoders, 9 faders and 8 buttons, all switchable to 8 groups. This allows the control of a total of 264 parameters. Midi commands like pitch bend, aftertouch, program change and control change are possible. A small 4-digit display provides information about all programming and controller values at any time. The encoders can even work in 14bit high-resolution mode, which is recommended for controlling sensitive parameters like filter cutoffs. In addition, 18 internal setups can be used to store your own individual settings. The factory settings of the Faderfox UC4 are perfect for instant control of midi-adaptable music and video software. This means that no additional configurations are required on the device. But the little box is also an excellent extension for your Ableton Live setup. A special Control-Surface-Script for Ableton Live 8/9 with all necessary mappings is included. With this script you can also use two Faderfox UC4 to control up to 16 tracks simultaneously.
