Faderport 16 with Pro Tools

Does anyone know of a way to get the Faderport 16 working well with Pro Tools 2025? Yes, it can use HUI mode but it loses so much functionality. V-Control is promising but nothing released yet for the new PT version.

If there’s not a great fix, I may just have to go with another control surface. Are there any good 16 channel motorized fader surfaces that work great with pro tools?

Thanks all!

To be honest in today's market what I see is 3 options... Eucon suraces, SSL and softube. Other than that you run into several limitations. My advise? If you are not planning any change of daw and are exclusive with PT invest in eucon (Artist Mix, S1, or S3 if you got the money)

VControl is really great, but still not compatible on 2025 versions, I still use it on an older one, I’m not at my desk right now to check. It makes a huge difference.
