Fender Motion 16 MIDI Pad Controller with 16 RGB Pads, 8 Encoders, 4 Faders, OLED Display, Arpeggiator, USB Bus-Powered

Most pad controllers force a compromise between compact size and hands-on control, but the Fender Motion 16 breaks that mold. It packs 16 full-size velocity-sensitive RGB pads, 8 endless encoders, and 4 linear faders into a road-ready chassis that feels instantly familiar. The high-contrast OLED display keeps you informed without glancing at your computer, while the built-in arpeggiator and note repeat turn simple ideas into dynamic performances. Whether producing beats, triggering clips, or playing melodic parts, the Motion 16 gives you tactile control over every parameter.

Highlights

• 16 velocity-sensitive RGB backlit pads for expressive finger drumming and clip launching
• 8 assignable 360-degree rotary encoders and 4 linear faders for hands-on mixing and sound design
• 128x64 pixel OLED display for real-time feedback on parameters and presets
• Built-in arpeggiator, note repeat, and full level for creative performance techniques
• USB class-compliant and bus-powered – no drivers or external power supply needed
• 8 user-definable presets for instant recall of your favorite mappings

In daily use

The Motion 16 feels instantly familiar: pads respond with just the right amount of travel, encoders click with precision, and faders glide smoothly. Map the pads to drum racks in Ableton Live, use the encoders to tweak synth macros in Logic Pro, or assign the faders to track volumes in any DAW. The arpeggiator syncs to your host tempo, and note repeat lets you create rolling hi-hats or stutter effects with a single finger. The OLED display shows parameter values, preset names, and MIDI activity, so you can stay focused on the music rather than the screen.
