    Me too, works smoothly. and after update, press both shift to activated midi-mode, totally level up.
    But, faderport 16 is too beautiful, wish one day I can update to that.

    Softube Console One is fantastic for controlling plugins, I bought it specifically for this purpose. Check this:

    By a short margin but the math doesn't add up.
    Wait, includes a controller you said...?

    I didn't wanna brag but actually I use the most powerful MIDI controller. Four analog controls, 12 buttons/pads. All at once

    Faderfox products are almost handcrafted and are as sturdy as it gets. They also build custom controllers to order. Although labeling is scarce on their machines and they appear as expensive niche products, they are worth it if you know what you 're doing. I particularly like this :

    Which can also be this:

    Faderfox PC12 and MX12 (the ones on the first photo) will work with anything. They are fully programmable 7 bit midi controllers and yes they will learn incoming midi signals and assign to their respective controls making the programming of the machine fast.
    I 've worked with a Faderfox Traktor controller they have and i was impressed. It's built like a fkn tank and i found it much better for playing live than -let's say- NI Traktor Kontrol S8, which looks good but is kinda flimsy and sort of expensive too.
    Cheers :)
    PS: If it's knobs you 're looking for they also have the PC44, knob maniacs rejoice :)

    Maybe not the answer you want, but if you want a daw controller nothing comes close to push or maschine for the price. Obviously, you need to use one of those. The others are generally messy, unless you buy a Nucleus.

    Othewise, faderfox units are cheap and good, but probably not what you want.
