Awesome! I hope you're shipping to the UK, I don't want to have to get a plane over to you and kick your door down...We should be good for shipping by end of Q1 2022 (March, April at the latest if there are delays with getting components).

Heck yeah, we are shipping to the UKAwesome! I hope you're shipping to the UK, I don't want to have to get a plane over to you and kick your door down...
Not the competition, but yes, my very old Tascam FW-1884 has motorized faders that I use for both MIDI CC (expression, Modwheel and whatnot, Mics MIDI levels, and so forth) and for mixing.Are there any Midi CC faders that are motorized? I haven't seen anything like that. I really want motorized MIDI CC faders, but they don't work for CC.
AI's faders have a nice look. Although the price is high compared to its competitors, it will be competitive if it offers great features with the buttons shown in the picture.
It would be nice to show the name of the articulation that matches the CC on the display.
Could you list them?There are quite a few 2, 3 and 4 faders on the market, mostly boutique too, and way cheaper than $450, and many threads on VIC about them. Generally, though, it seems faders are motorized when there's at least 8 of them.
The current iteration requires the software (doesn't have to be running while using the unit, just to program the unit)This looks fantastic @audioimperia! Just one question:
Can it be programmed from the unit itself or do you have to use software?
I myself would prefer the former in order not to be dependent on the manufacturer having to keep up with OS compatibility (which us Mac users know breaks every year).
You should check out the Nuances controller, I use it and it’s great. It has on board CC assignment, so no external software editors.Instant buy if there’s a 60mm fader option.
I’m using nuances controller right now, and MC—8.You should check out the Nuances controller, I use it and it’s great. It has on board CC assignment, so no external software editors.
totally agree with this. Love the Boutique approach and quality that comes with it!Well without really being able to test one out, I still have to say, I appreciate (in theory) that this will be a nice piece of hardware which is both functional but also really well built. I feel like I've watched the cheapening of our entire economy here in the US, and I'm so tired of only being able to buy cheap shit, made by slave labor, that is considered disposable. There are cheaper options, and that's great for the people who want that, but if AI is wanting to fill the void that is a tank-like build and a bit more sexy, AND (hopefully) is supporting people at a decent wage, rather than Chinese slave labor, I am all about it.
Wow,You should check out the Nuances controller, I use it and it’s great. It has on board CC assignment, so no external software editors.
The guy who makes them, iirc, works at RCP so all those guys are using them!It’s definitely an interesting design choice. Lorne Balfe and crew seem to love them.
Totally. In fact for me, it's counter-productive.I’ll be the odd man out here. Why are motorized faders so important for midi CC faders? I seriously don‘t see the point.
Yeah, I've heard the Choisauce one is VERY high quality, so unless this AI one is using like rare Brazilian Rosewood or something, not entirely sure why the price is the same for half the faders.The guy who makes them, iirc, works at RCP so all those guys are using them!
The faders aren't the only cost involved in making one of these premium units For example, we're not using a pre-made enclosure box but a custom-made one to get the right angle gradient.Yeah, I've heard the Choisauce one is VERY high quality, so unless this AI one is using like rare Brazilian Rosewood or something, not entirely sure why the price is the same for half the faders.
IMO I think you are missing a trick….you could build a cheaper unit and flood the market and get one of your Controllers on every composers desk on the planet.The faders aren't the only cost involved in making one of these premium units For example, we're not using a pre-made enclosure box but a custom-made one to get the right angle gradient.
Isn't Brazilian Rosewood on the CITES list? We're using high-quality walnut for the sides.
