I like the one I have. DP integration is a little limited, but it does what I need. I only wish it had a track name readout like AlphaTrack.

Yes, but I would contact Presonus for details.

I bought one. Got DP 9.5.2 to recognize it in two ways in the Control Surface setup; but it doesn't do anything in DP.
Presonus forum says DP is not recognized in 64bit and gives no more help.

Sending it back.

Is anyone using the “new” Faderport in DP successfully? My Alphatrack currently doesn’t work in DP11 (still works in 10) and the older Faderport is sketchy. I don’t mind getting the newer Faderport if indeed it actually works.

Just figured out how to get my older Faderport to work in DP 11. Go to Setup => Control Surface Setup. Set the Driver to HUI, and Track Filtering to Pin to Focus Window. Input Port to FaderPort-1, Output Port to FaderPort. PIN TO FOCUS WINDOW was the real fix here... it was default set to Pin to Mixer when I switch to 11 from 10. Hope this works for you too, and perhaps try the same method for your Alphatrack!

Cheers!
