Frequently Asked Questions

The aftertouch is present, but the limited key travel means it's subtle—not as nuanced as a Fatar or similar action found on more premium models.
Absolutely, it functions as a standard USB MIDI controller; Cubase LE is a bonus, not a requirement for functionality.
These are standard faders that transmit MIDI CC messages, meaning they are not motorized and will not automatically move in response to DAW automation.
