Faderfox Controllers

Post by GooseGossage » Sat Dec 25, 2004 2:03 pm

Seen these a few times on the web, anyone know where to pick these up? Looks like the best options for controllers in my opinion.

Not seen them before but look interesting.

Unit price 179 Euro not bad, anyone tried them?

Nice review. I ordered an LV1 & a DJ1 last week. Perhaps I'll go ahead & get another LV1 for efficiency? :wink:

Last time I checked they wouldn't sell to people in the U.S. because of the hassles of paperwork and taxes. This has changed?

I'm actually taking a vacation to Germany next week....having it shipped there. I didn't even know they didn't ship to the States. I guess I definitely should get a second LV1! :?

The faderfox boxes are awesome. Very efficient. I use the DJ1 box regularly. If you have a way of getting them, I would definitely recommend them. For being such a small operation, their customer support is quite amazing. Received an email within the day, and the problem was solved.

I'll be posting a supplementary review, to the one already referenced earlier in this thread, within a few days ~ I need time to play with it. My first impressions are very high! It's rock solid! Better construction than any other controller that I've ever used/owned.

As a side-note, Mathais from Faderfox said he hopes to start world-wide shipments in 2005.

I use two LV's and two LX's together to control an insane number of functions on 8 tracks. They are awesome; of solid contruction, battery powered (and very efficient there..), very portable but not too small. In short, they open up a world of possibilities for Live that are just not possible with any other controller I've seen or used. Kudos to you, Faderfox. Anyone remotely interested should download and read the Faderfox manuals. That should whet the appetite.

Also, the reason they can't be sold in the US yet is because the paperwork required by the FCC for electronic devices hasn't been completed. But I understand they are compliant with all the standards.

Click here to check out my short review of the Faderfox LV1 Controller for Live. IE6 does NOT like my site. Since I've switched to Firefox, I really don't care. 8)

To control the X/Y controller parameter (the circle in the VST display screen) with the LV1's stick...click here.

BTW, I don't have any problems with the close proximity of the sliders and the pots to each other. But I do have dainty girlish hands :wink:
