For those who want Faderfox in USA or Canada

Post by dr. g » Tue Mar 22, 2005 4:36 pm

Hi there,

I am a regular Traktor user and in the last months, I have forwarded a few Faderfox controllers to DJ colleagues in the United States and Canada. A friend in my DJ-Team who also is a passionate techhouse producer pointed me to this board and to the fact that there are a lot of Ableton users outside Europe who can't get their hands on Faderfox controllers.

So I would like to repeat the same offer that I have made to Traktor users:
http://www.nativeinstruments.de/forum_u ... post153431

I will forward the item for the original faderfox price + postage to your country. If you want to include a handling fee, I will appreciate that, but it's totally up to you.

Several Traktor boardmembers have gone through this procedure. Contact me for details, if you want to get your hands on this item.

Will they be at the Messe displaying? I wonder if we from the US could pick one up at the show...

Good thinking, but I very much doubt that. As far as I know, Faderfox is a *very* small company, and Messe-fees are usually very high...

Much cheaper

Hi there,

the EURO has gone down a bit, and I have investigated at my local post office. Here is another way to get the faderfox quite a bit cheaper in the US, Canada or elsewhere in the world:

If you order, for example, 3 items in a bundle, the price per controller would be around 250 US. Its the airmail postal fees which are really expensive from Europe. This factor of costs goes down considerably when you have several items ordered in one go.

This might be interesting for those of you who have friends in the area who would also like to get a faderfox.

I am on tour in Germany and bought a LV1 and a LX1 and had it shipped to my hotel in Frankfurt as I could not get one in the US. Let me say this: If you are even remotely thinking about getting one, do whatever you have to do and get it! It is absolutely amazing and will enhance your Live experience tenfold.

This is THE MIDI controller to have (actually two of them).

What a stunning product.

Well, I must agree... :)
Got mine finally these days. So much fun to work with (on Traktor DJ) and very well manufactured, to my eye.

ebay option

Post by dr. g » Sun Apr 24, 2005 4:02 pm

Hi there,

in this thread http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 027#115027 people ask wether it would be possible to stick them Faderfox controllers up on ebay - to establish some trust in the whole transfer-process. I am up to it - but please read for yourselves...

Got the LV1 & LX1 the other day from Dr. G. Believe the hype! These really are great & will completely change the way I perform.

Excellent turnaround time to ship to the US (~3 weeks). :D
