CONSOLE 1
Modern mixing by ear
Console 1 is the hardware centerpiece of the Console 1 Mixing System. It controls the channel strip expansions and every aspect of the preloaded software—the legendary and precisely emulated Solid State Logic SL 4000 E desk—from the EQ and compressor to the drive and beyond. Every knob has a dedicated job so you can set up your session and mix the way you would with an analog console—only better. With no need to map parameters. Just unbox and begin.

CONSOLE 1 FADER
Even more hands-on control
Fader is a hardware unit for those whose instrument is the desk. Featuring ten touch-sensitive 100 mm Alps motorized faders and the same robust chassis found on the Console 1 hardware, Fader enhances your workflow like a genuine analog console because Fader is built like a genuine console. It gives you quick and intuitive control over volume, saturation, filtering, and more. Use alone or connect as many Faders as you’d like to Console 1. It's your world. And Fader gives you complete dominion over it.
