VDB FCS-8

The FCS-8 8-Channel Control Surface is a compact USB controller suitable for the most demanding shoots, thanks to its robust design in aluminum and PA-12 nylon. It features 8 rotary potentiometers for trims (with stop), 8 dust-protected faders and 8 PFL controls for controlling 8 channels of the recorder.

It also features controls for record, stop, slate mic activation and a shortcut to arm or disarm tracks. PFL monitoring, track arm/disarm status, recording and slate mic activation are indicated by LEDs on the front of the control surface.

The control surface provides the user with a potentiometer corresponding to the Master fader, which can be assigned to any bus or output of the recorder. In addition, it has five assignable controls, from a list of recorder functions, such as activating COM circuits, monitoring or assigning faders to buses or outputs.

Its 8 channels make it particularly suitable for use with the 833 recorder, for use in a bag or for filming where the lightness and robustness of the equipment are essential. The FCS-8 control surface uses the MIDI MCU protocol, which makes it possible to use it with DAW software.

The Finger 8 is available in two versions depending on the fader resistance desired by the operator in order to best adapt to their taste and working conditions:

• SOFT version: flexible fader promoting responsiveness and speed
• FIRM version: fader with resistance for millimeter control

Finally, the design of the control surface allows the user to easily replace the faders, for new ones or customization. The design of the FINGER 8 has been made in such a way that it is easily repairable and its elements replaceable in order to guarantee a long life.

Designed and handmade in France with passion.
