Faderfox believes that their new UC3 is the swiss army knife of controllers. They tell us that it is a universal controller for all kinds of MIDI controllable software on Mac, PC and iPad. It has 8 push-encoders and 9 faders, all switchable to 8 groups that allow to control a total amount of 136 control parameters.

A spokesperson told us, "All controls are independently programmable very fast and easy by a small display. The factory settings are perfect to control music and video software products out of the box if they are freely
assignable. So any additional device programming isn't necessary for many applications. Last but not least the UC3 is also a great extension for your Ableton Live setup. A special control surface script for Ableton Live 8 is enclosed in the package. With that script you can also use two UC3 devices to control up to 16 tracks simultaneously. Check out this amazing power box and you will get a reliable mate."
