PreSonus is pleased to announce Sonar support for the FaderPort USB Automation and Transport Controller.

The FaderPort is the first of its kind, a single-fader USB controller that can write single and group channel volume, pan and mute automation. The FaderPort is loaded with an ultra-high quality Alps fader found in professional control surfaces including DigiDesign's D-Command. The fader in the FaderPort utilizes a dual-servo motorized drive belt system for fast-acting, accurate, and smooth operation. The FaderPort's 100mm long throw fader delivers 1024-step resolution for writing smooth, ultra-fine and accurate fades and adjustments.

The FaderPort ($229 MSRP) has been shipping since November this year and is currently compatible with Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo Logic Pro and Sonar.
