Softube has announced a new generation of their original fader controller. After an successful pre-launch offering, Console 1 Fader Mk III is available, completing the Console 1 Mixing System.
The Console 1 Fader Mk III offers refined 100 mm faders with capacitive touch. Users can set levels, write automation, adjust panning, and select tracks with the tactile feel of faders, improving their workflow while mixing in the box.
It's the feeling of a high-quality analog console, the recall and control of a modern DAW, and modularity that means extreme versatility for Console 1 Fader Mk III users.
The ten high-resolution screens assist with track navigation, providing users with information about where they are with displays that show information like track names, numbers, level meters, pan, and color. The faders with capacitive touch make operation a smooth experience, while haptic feedback intuitively communicates critical information.
Param mode (or parameter mode) allows users to customize their workflow on the fly by quickly assigning filters, drive, compression threshold, and more to the faders. Fader Mk III's dual USB-C ports eliminates the need for a hub and reduces excessive cables by allowing for the daisy chaining of up to four Fader Mk III units.
