FaderPort 8: How to setup in Reaper

Published November 30, 2016

 

PLEASE NOTE:  Current versions of Reaper will differ.

 

Step 1 - Select MCU mode

To use your FaderPort 8 within Reaper you'll first need to ensure the FP8 is set to MCU mode. 

  1. Power off the FaderPort 8
  2. Hold the first and second "Select" buttons on the FP8
  3. Power the unit back on
  4. Once the unit has powered up and displays "Select Control Mode" across the top of the scribble strips you can release the Select buttons
  5. Select "MCU"
  6. Press the eighth "Select" button ("EXIT" will be displayed on the scribble strip above this Select button)

You are now in MCU mode on your FaderPort 8 and will remain in MCU mode even if you power the device off. To change to a different mode execute the steps listed above but select a different mode (such as HUI or Studio One mode).

 

Step 2 - Configure a Control Surface within Reapers Preferences

  1. Open Reaper
  2. Click the "Options" drop down menu and select "Preferences
  3. Click on "Control Surfaces" within the Preferences menu
  4. Click "Add"
  5. Select "Mackie Control Universal" as Control Surface mode
  6. Select "PreSonus FP8" as your MIDI input and MIDI output
