Fender has announced the launch of Fender Motion, two pad controllers designed to integrate with Fender Studio Pro, the DAW formerly known as PreSonus Studio One Pro. Unveiled at NAMM back in January, Motion comes in two configurations: the 16-pad Motion 16 and the 32-pad Motion 32. Both models also come with a perpetual license for Fender Studio Pro, which will set you back $199.99/£169.99 if you buy it on its own. Both Motion 16 and Motion 32 feature RGB FATAR pads, illuminated encoders and touch strips, alongside timeline navigation and session controls. Fender Motion 16 is priced at $269.99/£239 and Fender Motion 32 at $329.99/£299.
