Softube Console 1 Fader MK3 DAW Control Surface

Console 1 Fader MK3 is the motorized-fader companion module in Softube's modular Console 1 hardware line, built to sit alongside a Channel MK3 unit and give you physical, touch-sensitive control over levels across a full mixer bank rather than one channel at a time. Each of its ten faders moves under motor control to follow your session, so recalling a mix or switching banks shows up as the faders physically resetting to the right positions.

Every fader is capacitive-touch and delivers haptic feedback, nudging back at your fingers to flag information like automation or gain changes without you needing to look up. Ten small high-resolution screens sit above the faders, each showing track name, number, level, pan and color so you can navigate a session by feel and glance rather than hunting through the DAW window. A Param mode lets you reassign the faders on the fly to control things like filter cutoff, drive amount, compression threshold or stereo width instead of level.

Like the Channel MK3, it connects over dual USB-C and daisy-chains with up to four Fader units plus a Channel MK3 off one computer connection, and it adapts its control scheme to whichever DAW you're running — from direct integration in Cubase and Logic to HUI or MCU modes elsewhere.
