VDB FCS-12 Control Surface
The FCS-12 12-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 is compatible with the Sound Devices 833, 888 and Scorpio recorders and features 12 rotary trim pots (with stop), 12 dust-protected faders and 12 PFL controls for controlling 12 channels of the recorder.
It also features controls for record, stop, Slate mic trigger, 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 four assignable controls, from a list of recorder functions, such as activating Com circuits, monitoring, or assigning faders to buses or outputs.
It's 12 channels make it particularly suitable for use with 888 and Scorpio recorders, for use on the road. It is also very useful with an 833 equipped with the 4+ plugin. The FCS-12 control surface uses the MIDI MCU protocol, which makes it possible to use it with digital audio work software.
The Finger 12 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.
We supply the soft version as standard, the firm version is available to order.
The design of the FCS-12 control surface allows the user to easily replace the faders.
