The FaderPort 16 is a class-compliant device in both macOS® and Windows®. Simply connect
your FaderPort to a free USB port on your computer. While no driver installation is necessary,
you must install Universal Control and run a firmware update for full functionality.
If you are not using Studio One, press the first two Select buttons while powering on your FaderPort to change
the Operation Mode.
Note: When using the FaderPort 16 in MCU or HUI mode, you will need to configure it as two different devices in
your DAW. Please review the FaderPort 16 Owner's Manual for complete instructions.
