INTRODUCING FENDER MOTION: WITH BUILT-IN SONGWRITING TOOLS AND DEDICATED DAW CONTROL
Fender Studio announces Fender® Motion: a line of professional creative controllers designed to spark inspiration for songwriters and producers of all genres. Available in 16 or 32-pads, the new Motion controllers are built for improvisation and exploring sounds. The built-in chord mode provides playable custom-voiced progressions and assignable scales, turning ideas into songs in seconds. Motion pairs natively with the award-winning DAW, Fender Studio Pro, giving musicians and creators the freedom to write, edit and perform without breaking focus or leaving the instrument. Spanning songwriting, beatmaking, finger drumming, melodic sequencing, mixing, live performance and studio production, Fender Motion empowers creators with innovative production tools to stay in the flow and make more music, faster.
"Since we debuted Motion at NAMM, the anticipation has been off the charts. It confirmed what we already knew: players don't want a controller that handles one corner of their workflow, they want one built for all of it," said Max Gutnik, Chief Product Officer, Fender Electronics. "Motion gets the same obsessive attention to detail we put into everything we build. Pair it with Fender Studio Pro and your sessions, your sounds, your tones and your rig all move together, from the first take at home to the last song of the night."

"The Motion controllers feel like a direct line between what I'm thinking and Fender Studio Pro," said Yaahn Hunter Jr., artist and music producer. "I prefer pads when programming drums and triggering samples, but Chord Mode surprised me with how much faster it makes writing on the fly, and tweaking plugin parameters live with the knobs means I can express myself artistically without having to draw in automation lines in Fender Studio Pro."
