The industry-defining control surface with the sound and feel of big studios.

description: Console 1 Channel Mk III is the mixing control surface of the Console 1 Mixing System, a knob-per-function channel strip controller that gives one-to-one control over EQ, compression, shape, drive and more with genuine analog console sounds. It is sold separately from Console 1 Fader Mk III, the fader bank that works alongside it.
details: |-
Console 1 Channel Mk III is a mixing control surface that replaces mouse-driven mixing with a knob-per-function layout. Each parameter of the channel strip sits under its own physical control, so the sections of a large-format console (preamp and tape, filters, shape, EQ, compression and drive) are reached by hand rather than through a plug-in window.

The surface carries 27 touch-sensitive high-resolution Analog Feel potentiometers. Softube states the resolution is more than ten times that of the previous generation, giving a weighted, precise turn intended to feel like expensive outboard gear rather than a generic controller encoder.

Two high-resolution smart screens show EQ curves, compressor response, a VU meter and track information, so the current state of a channel is visible on the unit itself. Fifty-one RGB LEDs handle track selection and white LEDs give knob read-out.

Core Mixing Suite ships with the unit. It provides a tape and preamp drive model, filters at 6, 12, 18, 24 and 48 dB slopes, a shape section with Dynamic Shaper, Panner and Dual Dynamics, two EQs (a modern precise one and a vintage passive parallel one), three compressors (FET Mk II, Opto and Bus Compressor) and a drive and character section. Additional console models such as SSL SL 4000 E-Series, SSL XL 9000 K-Series, American Class A, British Class A, Chandler Limited Zener-Bender, Empirical Labs Trak Pak, Summit Audio Grand Channel and Weiss Gambit Series are sold separately.

The chassis is an anodized aluminium top with injection-moulded sides and back and integrated connectivity points. Dual USB-C ports allow up to four Fader units to be daisy-chained without a hub, and the unit runs bus-powered over USB-C or from the included power supply. Mounting is via a 100 mm M4 VESA pattern on the bottom or M4 threads on the sides, with an optional rack mount kit and mixing system stand. Channel Mk III is backward compatible with Console 1 Mk I and Mk II projects and works with Fader of either generation.

description: "Console 1 Compact: a DAW controller for music production that
brings the popular Console 1 Mixing System concept to any studio. The
industry-defining control surface adapted for all spaces."
details: |-
Console 1 Compact is a hybrid hardware and software mixing system that combines a high-end console feel with high-end console sound based on Softube's 20+ years of emulation expertise. Compact is designed to give the hands-on mixing experience of Console 1 in a package adapted for any size studio or setup, giving all the sections of Console 1 Channel Mk III in two easy-to-use layers.

Console 1 Compact gives world-renowned console sounds: exacting models of professional-grade, standard-setting gear, from Solid State Logic and Tube-Tech to Chandler Limited. Summit Audio Grand Channel, Weiss Gambit Series, or the Empirical Labs strip can be loaded, and Compact comes with Softube's take on the perfect channel strip, the Core Mixing Suite software.

Compact features the same anodized aluminum, Nordic Night Sky finish, and robust build of Console 1 Channel and Fader Mk III. Every rotation of Compact's touch-sensitive Analog Feel potentiometers gives the sensation of the priciest outboard gear. With an increase of more than ten times the resolution over the Console 1 Mk II generation, the weighty and precise turn of these knobs highlights the immersive mixing experience of Compact.

Console 1 Compact gives Channel Mk III capabilities in just half the size. Whether as a main unit or the unit used on the go, Compact fits the workflow and the lifestyle. It is also retro-compatible and modular: Console 1 Compact is compatible with all units and all versions of the Console 1 Mixing System range. Because all Console 1 hardware controls the same Console 1 plug-in, all processing is always compatible and all sessions are always recallable, no matter if the setup uses Console 1 Mk I or Fader Mk III.

Console 1 Channel, Compact, and Fader work with all major DAWs, without mapping. Each knob corresponds to a specific parameter, and the high-resolution screen keeps the focus on the sound of the mix. All Softube, Plugin Alliance, Brainworx, FabFilter, UAD, and other Console 1 Ready plug-ins are available for the Console 1 Mixing System, so any section can be replaced with a Console 1-ready plug-in to create a custom console.

Even more control with the tactile feel of faders and gigantic in-the-box

description: Console 1 Fader Mk III is the motorized fader controller of the Console 1 Mixing System, with ten faders and screens for levels, pans, sends, mutes and solos while mixing in the box. It is sold separately from Console 1 Channel Mk III, the channel strip control surface that works alongside it.
details: |-
Console 1 Fader Mk III is the fader bank of the Console 1 Mixing System. Where Console 1 Channel Mk III puts a channel strip under a knob per function, Fader Mk III adds ten motorized faders so levels, pans, sends, mutes, solos and track selection are handled by hand while mixing in the box, with the feel of a high-quality analog console rather than a mouse.

The ten faders are 100 mm Analog Feel units with capacitive touch and a stated 0.2 mm resolution. Touching a fader shows the track in the On-Screen Display, makes touch automation straightforward to write, and can select the track outright with the optional Select on Touch setting. The faders also carry haptic feedback, which Softube describes as automatically communicating critical information back to the hand.

Ten high-resolution screens sit above the faders and are what separate Mk III from the screenless Fader Mk I. Each shows customizable per-track information: track name, track number, level meters, pan and track colour, so the position in a large session is visible on the unit itself. Param mode reassigns the faders to parameters of the selected track instead of levels, with filters, drive, compression threshold and width among them, and pressing it twice reaches further parameter pages.

The unit runs in four modes: Console 1, Pro Tools HUI, Generic MCU and Apollo Central. Softube lists direct integration for Cubase and Logic, integrated DAW control for Studio One, Reaper, Ableton Live, LUNA, FL Studio, Harrison Mixbus, Digital Performer, Bitwig, Samplitude and Cakewalk, and six sends with a spill mode, against three sends and VST3-only control on Fader Mk I. Console 1 Core Mixing Suite is included.

Connectivity is two USB-C ports. One carries data and USB-C Power Delivery from the included supply, which Softube states powers up to two units, and the second chains onward, so up to four Fader Mk III units plus a Channel Mk III run without a hub, replacing the Mk I arrangement where each Fader needed its own PSU. The chassis is an anodized aluminium top with injection-moulded sides and back and integrated connectivity points, and it mounts on a 100 mm M4 VESA pattern underneath or M4 threads on the sides, with an optional rack mount kit and mixing system stand. Fader Mk III works alongside Console 1 Mk I and Mk II and Fader Mk I, and existing projects carry over.
