I was led to believe that the brand new Console 1 Fader Mk III would work with the full Direct DAW control features as Cubase, but that is not the case. It requires plug-in instantiation on every channel you wish to use the device on, as the previous models did, which is infuriating to find out post-purchase. This is a feature request to get that working with Nuendo ASAP!

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, since this is not the Softtube forum.
I brought it up here because Softubeās tech support told me that they are already working with Steinberg to get this functional, so Iām just putting it up here to let Steinberg know itās important.

Yes, that is the video that got me excited about this device. However, it only works without plug-in instantiation with Cubase 13, NOT Nuendo.
Ah that is a shameā¦ i mean they are not literally advertising it to work with nuendo but one would assume it should work. Hope they fix it soon. In the meantime i hope for you that the plugin āworkaroundā keeps you going.
Thank you! I thought I was crazy. Hopefully it functions soon.

Today Softube released a software (and firmware) update for the Console 1 ecosystem.
On our Mac the Fader Mk III now works in Console 1 mode with Nuendo as well! Natively, without plugins on each channel.
Happy user hereā¦

Can anyone confirm if the update works in Nuendo 12?
Weāre on Nuendo 13, not sure about Nuendo 12.
But why not try it out, nothing to lose I guess?
It works in Nuendo 13 on Windows.
Iām very curious about this controller, happy to read that it is now working like in Cubase. Question for users if I may, did I read that there is a 200 track limit? If so, what happens when you have more than 200 tracks to work with? Thanks!
Maximum of 100 tracks
Console 1 can only control 100 tracks at a time in a project. It is possible to have more than 100 tracks in the project, but some Console 1 functionality, such as āFavoritesā, āCopyā, and āGroupā will only work within 100 adjecent tracks. You can switch which group of 100 tracks that are controllable from Console 1 by selecting a track from that group in the Cubase mixer.
Page numbers will reset after 100 tracks, so that track 101 is listed as track 1 in Console 1.
We just wrapped a project with around 200 tracks and we had no issue with this.

Does anyone have this working with Cubase Pro 14? I canāt seem to get it to work and cannot find the VST Plugin to insert on each channel.
Help greatly appreciated.
