What’s New in Console 1 (2.5.97)

 

MIDI Modules for Console 1 Channel Mk III

Load in a MIDI module in any section to send MIDI CC from Console 1 (Console 1 Channel Mk III).

 

MIDI Mode for Console 1 Fader Mk III

The Fader MIDI Controller mode (available from the Function Mode menu) turns your Fader Mk III unit into a generic MIDI controller for when you need hands-on control of ... MIDI things.

 

Improved MIDI Mode for Console 1 Mk I/II 

It is now possible to use your older Console 1 (Mk I or II) in MIDI mode while the On-Screen Display is running so that you can use that unit as a MIDI controller while you’re using Mk III units with Console 1. Just select “Use Mk I/II as MIDI Controllers from the Console 1 On-Screen Display’s menu icon
