Solid build quality, Good for most common DAW
Thomann delivered this product very quickly as usual, no problems here.
I’m using it with pro tools in HUI mode, it works well even though the PT limitations in terms of plugin automation with control surface is a big let down. But it’s not this controller fault, it’s avid locking their system on purpose. All basic features of the faderport works well, that a great experience.
I’m using also it with studio one, integration is seamless, perfect combo. It couldn’t be better !
I’m using it on reaper too, now reaper supports it in native mode which is cool, but a lot of buttons just do nothing, I hope the reaper devs could add the other features on this interface, especially for controlling the plugins.
I didn’t try Logic but the overall feedback seem great.
I recommend it, because it’s much faster and precise to work on mixing the motorized fader and it looks sturdy.

This thing ROCKS literally and figuratively
Just got this thing today and already set it up for my workflow. There is one big problem though that I want to address before I say all the good things: this thing literally rocks. Do you see how the way it tapers down to the bottom part? It also tapers the same way from the bottom up so when I place the ball of my wrist on that seemingly "wrist wrest" area, the whole thing lifts up like how the Titanic would. Acts like some kind of see-saw. This issue is easily solved by NOT putting your wrist on top of the device. Also, by not putting your wrist on top of the device, your fingers now rest perfectly on to the transport controls: thumb on play/pause, index and middle finger on the other buttons.
Also, the shift key would be better placed on the left side rather than on the right side but maybe that's just on me because I use the device on my left side so I have my right hand free to use my mouse. Because of that, my finger does finger yoga all the time.
Anyway, those are the only things negative things that I could say on this device. It's built like a tank, fader feels really nice and smooth, encoder is metal, clicky and tactile. It does a thunk when you press it down which is not satisfying but better than nothing. Buttons all feel very nice too and well illuminated.
I also use Studio One so this thing is not a pain to set up at all. I just attached it to my computer and it's good to go. All the controls working instantly.

Handy piece of kit
This product speeds up recording multiple takes by not having to keep going back to the mouse every time. The build quality is good, the fader could be a little smoother but for the price it's excellent at what it does

Presonus Faderport V2 with single fader
It was not very straightforward to set it up, I had to do some tricks with it. A motorized fader is cool, but I don't like having an external power supply for this kind of device. The functions are great though and may suit the needs of people who write a lot of automatization.
