Vestax FaderBoard

Breakthrough Sample Controller

This revolutionary musical hybrid offers unprecedented control of sampling, effects and more in a unique "mixer" style package which combines the performance aspects of a sampler, a keyboard and a mixer. The Faderboard is essentially a sampler with 10 user accessible sample memories (with up to 30 seconds of total sample memory). Once you've loaded a sample (via recording or SmartMedia), you can control it with 10 special faders. Each fader controls a specific note for the active sample (like a specific key on a keyboard). By turning the fader up, you increase the volume of the assigned pitch; move to the next fader, slide it up and you are playing the next note in the scale. Onboard effects help you to further shape your sounds. You can assign a scale (major/minor) and select modes (blues, Arabic, etc.) to make controlling your samples easy and musical. The creative possibilities are quite astounding. The 10 key faders control the sound output and are curve adjustable. You can move the entire sample range up or down an octave with dedicated buttons. You can even control melodic or percussive aspects, as well as samples and effects.
