The Softube Console 1 Fader Mk3 is the premium, “meat and potatoes” fader companion I’ve been waiting for to pair with Console 1 Mk3. The faders feel tight (not loosey-goosey), the screens are bright and color coded, and the haptic feedback at unity/clipping is a legit game changer for mixing fast.
Pros
+10 motorized, touch-sensitive 100mm faders with great resistance
+Haptic feedback at unity gain and on clipping
+Bright, color-coded LCDs and very responsive banking/pages
+Favorites mode for grouping stems and key tracks
+Can map plugin parameters to a fader for hands-on control
Cons
-I still want Softube to roll out a dedicated transport module
-Best experience is when you’re already bought into the Console 1 ecosystem
