No MIDI mapping is needed—the hardware is tightly integrated with the Console 1 software, straight out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e{{asset=205,align=left,width=75%}}\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePamper your tracks with the sound of the legendary Solid State Logic SL 4000 E console—probably the most used high end console in the history of music recording. Softube's emulation was developed in close collaboration with SSL, and it's included with the purchase of Console 1. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomize your channels with any of the over 60 available Console 1 ready plug-ins from Softube and Universal Audio. Mix and match units from Chandler Limited, Fairchild, Teletronix, Tube-Tech, Abbey Road Studios and many others. Pre-mapped and ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsole 1 is a premium Swedish design, built to last for many years of mixing. Its steel chassis makes it solid as a rock, and the knobs and buttons have the responsiveness and feel you'd expect from a high end analog console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to single Console 1 ready plug-ins, there are entire Console 1 channel strips available, with EQ, compressor, gate and modeled saturation from the original analog hardware. Currently, the options are Solid State Logic XL 9000 K-Series for Console 1, British Class A For Console 1 and Summit Audio Grand Channel for Console 1, with more to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsole 1 works with any major DAW on the market. But certain DAWs—currently Presonus Studio One and Cakewalk SONAR—feature additional integration, meaning you can use the Console 1 hardware to control vital DAW functions such as track selection, volume, send levels, pan and solo\/mute. We aim to have this functionality added for all DAWs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first-generation Console 1 was an immediate success and did not only receive prestigious awards and praise from the pro audio press—but more importantly, the end users loved it. Even seasoned engineers such as Michael Brauer, Jason Goldstein, Dave Isaac and Gareth Jones took the system to their hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e{{asset=204,align=left,width=75%}}\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree years after the original Console 1 release, it is time to introduce the Mk II version. It has the same build quality as the original units, with some minor layout changes such as more visible LED markers. More importantly, efficient manufacturing processes have made the system much more affordable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e{{asset=206,align=left,width=75%}}\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Softube","offers":[{"title":"Pre-Owned | In Stock","offer_id":46170316800283,"sku":"CONSOLE1MKIIEBAYPRO","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"New | In Stock","offer_id":46170316833051,"sku":"CONSOLE1MKII","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/files\/softube-CONSOLE1-0.png?v=1692028499"},{"product_id":"softube-console-1-fader-sft-fader","title":"Softube Console 1 Fader 10-channel Fader Control Surface","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsole 1 Fader is a set of ten motorized faders for your digital audio workstation (DAW). Console 1 Fader lets your fingers do the delicate job of mixing the levels of your audio tracks. Plus pan, mute and solo, high\/low cut, drive, aux sends, and more. In short, you get the benefits of working with a physical mixer, without the price and size. Console 1 Fader also integrates seamlessly with Softube Console 1, so if you already have the first unit you’ll get a complete channel strip solution (with Console 1’s Shape, Equalizer and Compressor sections).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe faders are the main tools on Console 1 Fader. You can use them exactly as any other mixer, and their graphical positions represent the actual volume settings of the tracks. They are also motorized, so when you use automation to add relative dynamic changes to your mix, the faders move accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the top of each Console 1 Fader channel is the Solo\/Phase button. The Solo function is convenient, when you want to hear one or several tracks in isolation. By holding Console 1 Fader’s Shift button, you can turn the Phase of a channel by 180 degrees. This can be useful in a few particular cases, e.g. when mixing a drumkit with phase issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with most digital mixing devices, there are a lot more channels available than meet the eye. By pressing the Page + and Page – buttons, you can scroll through your mixing channels ten channels at a time. So when looking at channels 1–10, pressing + will take you to channels 11–20, and so on. Pressing – takes you back again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe encoder to the right is used to control functions as Pan and Width (with stereo channels). After Console 1 Fader has been instantiated on a track, press Display On to see the big On-Screen Display (OSD). This is where the action is! Press Display On again to make the OSD disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold down Shift (on Console 1 Fader, not your computer keyboard) and press the Display On\/ Auto button. You have now activated Auto mode. This is a convenient function that makes the OSD pop up whenever you touch any the Console 1 Fader controls. After a few seconds of inactivity, the OSD disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can turn Auto mode off by pressing Shift + Display On\/Auto again. When several mixer channels can be considered as “one component” or “one complete section” in you mix, it is often convenient to group them. On a physical mixing desk, there are usually group outputs. They let you assign a bunch of channels of, say, backing vocals to a group and adjust the total volume of that group with one slider (or a stereo pair of them). That way, while adjusting the overall volume of the backing vocals, you retain the internal volume relationship between those channels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Softube","offers":[{"title":"New | On Order","offer_id":46182922420507,"sku":"SFT-FADER","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pre-Owned | On Order","offer_id":47194215055643,"sku":"SFT-FADEREBAYPRO","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/files\/SFTFADER_0.jpg?v=1692040060"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.altomusic.com\/collections\/softube-hardware-controllers.oembed","provider":"Alto Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
