Conceived and crafted for impeccable integration
with Nuendo mixing functions.
NUAGE FADER
The most advanced, well-integrated channel strip control surface
for any DAW. Nuage Fader works with a standard 24" LCD
monitor to provide sweeping access to Nuendo mixing function-
ality, with deep integration and solid performance that can only
be achieved in a purpose-built system. Yamaha console know-
how meets Steinberg software excellence with beautiful results.

Multi-function Knobs
In addition to a linear fader, each of the 16 channel strips
provided on each Nuage Fader unit includes two rotary encoders
– "knobs" – that are touch sensitive and also include an integral

Fader unit will mesh effectively with just about any workflow, and
even inspire new and improved ways of getting things done!
Organized Utility Section
In addition to straightforward mixing and parameter
tweaking, a powerful DAW like Nuendo allows a
multitude of switching and selection operations that, if
not comprehensively organized, can disrupt an otherwise
smooth workflow. The Nuage Fader unit utility control
section keeps everything neatly organized for easy,
confusion-free access. CHANNEL VIEW controls switch
between mixer channel displays, SECTION CONTROL
controls allow convenient channel strip section switch-
ing, and DAW SELECT controls switch between multiple
DAWs connected to the Nuage system.
Optimum Space Utilization
The compact, rack-mount compatible dimensions of
Nuage components are an advantage to begin with, but
thoughtful features like producer desk surfaces and a
keyboard space built into the console palm rest take
space utilization efficiency to the next level. Like many of
the productivity features implemented in the Nuage
system, the space-saving aspects are based on invalu-
able feedback from professionals in the field.
Ready for Large Multi-DAW Projects
A Nuage system can connect to up to three DAWs that
can be brought online individually from the Nuage Fader
DAW SELECT controls. The various DAWs can be
located in separate studios or machine rooms where they
are used to handle separate elements of a large project,
and then brought together at the Nuage system for final
assembly and editing. And since Nuage includes HUI
control compatibility, it provides basic access to any HUI
compatible DAW that you might want to use as a player
or dubber.
