PlayFader is a powerful and unique music and modulation sequencer.

Each channel of PlayFader has CV and Gate outputs controlled by a Fader and Play button.

Move the Fader to adjust CV levels and press Play for gate or trigger output.

PlayFader also offers two MIDI channels, allowing you to choose from various output options like Notes or Chords. The MIDI outputs match the analog outputs, letting you control MIDI devices while using analog synths.

Robust internal clock with sync out, transport controls and tap tempo, or lock to external clocks through CV or MIDI.

You can choose from quantised and smooth CV - customisable user scales or voltage ranges of 2, 3, 5, or 8 volts

Each channel has two recording buffers that can be switched and copied in real time. Plus you can play and record live transposition.

PlayFader also includes 7 FUN FX modes which allow you to take your patterns to extreme new places and back again at the push of a button. The FUN button!

PlayFader features a protective lid that serves as a stand and is comfortable to hold, called the PlayCase.

While traveling, the controls are protected by the lid, secured with a wristband that supports LGBTQ+ equality.

The lid can flip onto the back for added grip and height, making it ideal for extended play.

We carefully planned the buttons for live performances, jam sessions, and recordings.

It's important that you can use PlayFader without worrying about messing up your patterns due to forgotten button combos!

The top row consists of Modifier buttons for quick access to settings like loop length, quantization, FX types, scales, and the global menu.

You can change these while in use, and pressing any of them will only show which page you are on without making any changes. This way, you will always know your current location.

To make any actual changes, you must move a Fader or press a button on the bottom row. The LED display will guide you, even if you forget how to access specific settings like pattern length.

The bottom row of buttons are for actions that affect PlayFader's output. These buttons let you play notes, hit triggers, add FUN FX, clear, transpose, copy, record, and latch.

Our favourite feature is Window Latch.

This allows you to release the top row button combo and use both hands for more fun.

For example, you can latch the Time menu and adjust ratchet divisions with both hands, creating dynamic rhythms and syncopation between two percussion voices.

There are many more uses, such as applying ROLL mode in FUN FX on both Channels.
