Manufacturer's description
PlayFader ‘mnml’ Cr24 edition, featuring a black recycled ABS PlayCase, custom black flat keycaps and black chrome faders.
The Cr24 is a sleek re-interpretation of the original Yellow PlayFader and shares the same innovative functionality. The green LEDs of the main display finish off the design in style while being super-clear in the darkest and most demanding of situations.
The Cr24 is currently a very limited run.
All the PlayFader button colours from the original are now represented on the front panel, allowing you to use colour to learn your way around the functions.
Synesthesia is when you hear music, but you see shapes or you hear a word or a name and instantly see a colour. The choice of colours and words in PlayFader’s design are intended to create a truly intuitive user experience.
This gives PlayFader many of the qualities that make a great instrument - A simple and immediate user interface with deep and flexible functionality that endlessly rewards exploration and play with fun… and great music!
Inside every PlayFader you get a handy laminated card with all the main menu button combos. This fits neatly into the lid so it’s always with you when you need it.
Please note, PlayFader does not ship with cables or adapters. For the same reason we didn’t put a battery inside, there are lots of cables and adapters already out there in people’s studios. We don’t want to needlessly add to the landfill. Cables to connect PlayFader are very common, see specs for details.
You can power PlayFader from any 9v Centre-negative guitar pedal power supply, or chose one of the innovative power solutions we offer from myVolts, you can now chose to use USB-B or USB-C power solutions with their Ripcord and StepUp adapters, available in our web store for a reduced price.
You can also pick up 3.5mm to 5-pin Midi Type-A adapters and the awesome myVolts Modular CV Halo to Pedal (floating ring TRS to TS) cable for plugging into Expression inputs.
A note about using recycled materials
The process of using recycled plastic for our PlayCase may create some lightly visible imperfections where mixed material has appeared on the surface, or the plastic cooling process has left fluid lines in some areas. These are mostly invisible on lighter coloured cases, and slightly more visible on darker material like the black PlayCase. In use you simply won’t see any of these.
it’s a trade-off against using virgin plastic and we think it’s worth it. We prefer to support our planet instead of chasing perfection at all costs.
We wanted something strong, light and made in small batches from recycled materials. The PlayCase has 100% achieved our design and sustainability goals, this is critical as we aim to become a certified B-Corporation.
We also plan to extend our sustainability approach by providing alternate firmwares in the future, squeezing every last drop of functionality out of a single PlayFader.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Shipping to mainland EU typically costs between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD, Royal Mail and Parcelforce for the UK, and for international orders it's either DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we aim to dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Since April 2020, the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this, unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
