Softube - Console 1 Fader

Description

Console 1 Fader builds on the success of Console 1 by adding ten touch-sensitive 100 mm Alps motorized faders, giving premium professional feel and feedback for mixing within your DAW. Console 1 Fader also offers two console emulations (Tube and Discrete), to enrich the sound of your tracks in the same way as an analog console. As well as volume control/ automation, Console 1 Fader also gives quick and intuitive control over saturation, filtering, and much more.

Console 1 Fader can be used alone, or in combination with the original Console 1 channel strip controller for a tight 'complete desk' experience. You can even use multiple Console 1 Fader units to build the ideal workflow for your specific studio. The weighty powder-coated steel chassis means durability and substance in a sleek Scandinavian design.

Highlights

Fader modes: fader allows you to quickly and intuitively control track volume, drive level, drive character, input gain, low cut, high cut, and up to three send levels, all from the same high-quality motorized faders.
Transport controls: three assignable buttons work by default as basic transport controls for the major DAWs, but each can be assigned to a key command of your choice (e.g. CTRL+Z), for whatever use you can imagine.
Encoder: mounted on a high-grade all-metal potentiometer, Console 1 Fader's single encoder offers control of pan per track, but also unlocks a powerful stereo spatialization tool, to widen or consolidate your individual tracks, situating each sound perfectly in your mix.
Layer mode: with the innovative new 'Layer Mode' you can create layers of tracks, putting many levels of mixing at your fingertips. Low cut all your guitars at once, or saturate your groups early on for a top-down effect in seconds.
