Softube - CONSOLE 1 FADER

Description

*DOES NOT INCLUDE SOFTWARE*

Console 1 Fader builds on the success of Console 1 by adding ten 100mm touch-sensitive Alps motorized faders, delivering premium, professional feel and feedback for mixing in your DAW. Console 1 Fader also features two console emulations (Tube and Discrete) to enrich the sound of your tracks like an analog console. In addition to volume control and automation, Console 1 Fader offers fast and intuitive control over saturation, filtering, and more.

Fader Console 1 can be used alone or in combination with the original Console 1 channel strip controller for a complete and optimized console experience. You can even use multiple Fader Console 1s to create the ideal workflow for your studio. Its robust powder-coated steel chassis combines durability and robustness with a stylish Scandinavian design.

Strong points

Fader Modes: The fader lets you 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 function by default as basic transport controls for major DAWs, but each can be assigned to a key command of your choice (e.g. CTRL+Z), for any use you can imagine.
Encoder: Mounted on a high-quality, all-metal potentiometer, the Console 1 Fader's unique encoder provides per-track panning control, but also unlocks a powerful stereo spatialization tool, to widen or consolidate your individual tracks, perfectly situating each sound in your mix.
Layer Mode: With the innovative new Layer Mode, you can layer multiple tracks together, giving you access to multiple mixing levels. Mute all your guitars simultaneously or distort your groups from the start for a top-down effect in seconds.
