CONSOLE 1 FADER USER’S GUIDE |

Assignable controls 1–3
Console 1 Fader can be used to remotely control se-
lected functions of your DAW, and these buttons act as
keyboard shortcuts. The default shortcuts are Rewind,
Play/Pause, and Forward, but you are free to choose
any function in your DAW, as long as it has a keyboard
shortcut attached to it.
By pressing Settings and scrolling down to Reassign-
able Assignable Buttons, you are given a few options.
Auto Detect DAW
Console 1 Fader detects your
DAW and its transport buttons
settings.
Buttons 1–3
Here you can specify a keyboard
shortcut that performs the desired
function. This could be anything,
be creative!
Please note, that when you assign shortcuts, your DAW must be
in focus (last app used) .
Special info for Mac OS users
If the OSD won’t allow you to assign these buttons to
DAW functions, you may have to tweak your System
Preferences. Click on Security & Privacy and choose
Privacy. In the left column, go to Accessibility and tick
the box next to the Console 1 On-Screen Display.app
entry on the right side. You may have to press the small
unlock icon first to accomplish this.
By ticking this box, you’re allowing Console 1 Fader to
control your computer.
Solo/OK
Any channel, or group of channels, can be soloed. This is
super useful when tweaking individual tracks and fine-
tuning the mix.
When you have soloed a num-
ber of tracks, you may want to
compare the sound of those
tracks with the entire mix.
Hold Shift and press Solo/
OK to un-solo all tracks. The
same operation takes you back
to solo mode again.
The Solo/OK button also performs various tasks when
Console 1 Fader displays a menu with selections, e.g.
Load Drive, Settings, and Assign track(s) to layers.
Mute/Cancel
Any channel, or group of channels, can be muted. This is
an essential part of any audio production and mixing job.
When you have muted a num-
ber of tracks, you can compare
that sound with the entire mix.
Hold Shift and press Mute/
Cancel to un-mute all tracks.
Hold Shift and press Mute/
Cancel to go back to your
previous mute mode.
Mute/Cancel also performs various tasks when Console
1 Fader displays a menu with selections, e.g. Load Drive,
Settings, and Assign track(s) to layers.
