Has Softube announced a MIDI controller with 4 knobs and a large screen?

I received a teaser email about some new product. I thought it looked small in the teaser video, didn't really pay attention to it. Might have been touchscreen? I don't recall.

A touchscreen would obviously be great.

Softube is usually pretty quick to release a product after announcing it.

For reference, you can see similar knobs on Console 1 and how they relate in size to its screens.

You’re right, when I hold it next to my Console 1, the device looks quite small, but the screen looks impressive. The channel labeling also looks very similar to the Console 1 software.

Hmm... I'm on their mailing list, but I didn't see this.

Ah, so I imagined the touchscreen...

Perhaps it's a standalone pedal, not a controller?

It looks like the encoder has an illuminated ring around it, which to me doesn’t really suggest that it’s a pedal?

Hm, I have an iPad and rotaries a lot. I have no idea what should be appealing. The clip is too short to grab anything…

IMHO it's such a waste of a controller. No transport controls and no single fader. It's a HUGE miss from Softube in my opinion. It would have been an instant purchase if it had transport controls and a single motorized fader. Would have paired awesomely with the Console 1 mk3.
