The latest member of the Console 1 Mixing System improves on its predecessor with the introduction of “Analog Feel” faders that feature capacitive touch technology. Now, users can set levels, write automation, adjust pan, and select tracks with a console-like experience. The faders also offer haptic feedback that not only feels smooth but also communicates critical mix information in real time.
By combining the traditional analogue console feel with modern DAW control, the Console 1 Fader Mk III streamlines the mixing process and offers a more intuitive hands-on experience.
Users will also benefit from ten high-resolution screens displaying useful information such as track names, numbers, level metres, pan, and colours, ensuring smooth navigation across projects. You can choose between 4 operating modes: Console 1, Pro Tools HUI, Generic MCU, and Apollo Central – allowing for quick DAW setups.
Another noteworthy feature is the Param Mode, which allows you to assign parameters like filters, drive, compression threshold and more to the faders. And with dual USB-C ports, users can daisy-chain up to four units without the need for hubs, reducing cable clutter and increasing modularity for those who require more extensive control setups.
Mounting options are included as well, allowing you to seamlessly integrate the Fader Mk III with the Channel MK III for the ultimate DAW control solution.
The Console 1 Fader Mk III is priced at $999.

In related news, Softube recently launched the Model 77 Dual Layer Synth, a virtual instrument that “perfectly captures” the sound of three legendary Japanese synthesizers from 1977. Check out our review of the plugin to learn more about its features.
