The JL Cooper FaderMaster Professional is a programmable MIDI automation controller designed to provide hands-on control for audio and video production environments. Built for professionals working with digital audio workstations, MIDI sequencers, hard disk recorders, and MIDI-enabled mixers or processors, it brings tactile precision to tasks that are often difficult to perform with a mouse or keyboard alone.
At the center of the controller are eight high-quality 100 mm long-throw faders that allow smooth and accurate adjustment of parameters such as track volume, panning, EQ, effects, and other MIDI-controlled functions. Each fader and its corresponding buttons are fully programmable, enabling users to tailor the controller to their workflow. This tactile approach makes mixing and automation more intuitive, allowing multiple parameters to be adjusted simultaneously rather than editing tracks one at a time.
The FaderMaster Professional includes 20 programmable user banks for storing custom setups, along with 50 factory preset banks designed for controlling classic synthesizers and MIDI devices. Additional flexibility comes from programmable footswitch and foot pedal inputs, which allow hands-free control of selected parameters. Multiple units can also be linked together to create a larger control surface when more faders are required.
Constructed with a durable all-metal chassis, the FaderMaster Professional is built for reliable use in professional studio environments. Its compact format, measuring approximately 12.25 inches wide, 6.75 inches deep, and 1.5 inches high, makes it easy to integrate into desktop setups while still delivering the tactile control expected from a dedicated automation controller.
