Softube Flow Studio Control Surface
Shape your sound in seconds
Flow Studio is built to help you move quickly from idea to result. Its macro-based workflow means each knob controls several parameters across multiple effects, letting you adjust tone, dynamics, and space in one movement. This is especially useful when sketching ideas or refining a mix under time pressure.
Instead of tweaking individual settings one by one, you can focus on the bigger picture and hear immediate changes. The included signal chains, designed by experienced producers, give you a strong starting point for vocals, instruments, and full mixes, so you spend less time setting up and more time creating.
Hands-on control that feels right
The five touch-sensitive knobs are designed to feel like traditional studio hardware. They respond smoothly and accurately, giving you a level of control that makes detailed adjustments easy. At the centre, the Omni Knob handles navigation and key parameters such as input and output levels, helping you stay in control without reaching for your mouse.
Alongside this, multicolour LED indicators change with each mode, so you always know what each control is doing. It keeps your workflow intuitive, even when switching between tasks or exploring new sounds.
Clear visual feedback at every step
The built-in 4.3-inch display provides detailed visual feedback to support your decisions. You can see EQ curves, compression activity, reverb tails, and more in real time, making it easier to understand how your adjustments affect the sound.
This visual clarity helps you work with confidence, especially during complex sessions. It also reduces the need to constantly check your computer screen, keeping your focus on the controller and your music. Everything is presented clearly, so you can make informed changes without slowing down your process.
Flexible workflow that adapts to you
Flow Studio offers three distinct modes to suit different stages of production. DAW Mode gives you immediate control over levels, panning, and sends with no setup required. Flow Mode focuses on creative shaping through macros, letting you transform sounds quickly.
Detail Mode allows deeper editing of individual plug-in parameters directly from the hardware. This flexibility means you can move between broad adjustments and precise tweaks without interrupting your workflow. As your setup grows, the system expands with support for additional Softube plug-ins and more signal chains, keeping your controller useful over time.
With its combination of hardware control, included effects, and expandable ecosystem, Flow Studio gives you a practical way to streamline your production process while staying creative.
Softube Console 1 Compact
Hands-on mixing without the clutter
Console 1 Compact takes the Console 1 workflow and places it into a smaller format that fits comfortably into home studios, production desks and mobile setups. Dedicated controls provide direct access to the core elements of a mix, allowing you to shape tracks without navigating multiple windows or assigning custom mappings.
The layered layout gives you quick control over equalisation, dynamics, filtering and saturation while the high-resolution display keeps important information in view. If you prefer working with hardware instead of constantly reaching for a mouse, Compact helps create a more focused and efficient mixing environment while keeping your workspace tidy.
Built for a premium studio feel
Every aspect of Console 1 Compact is designed to deliver a tactile mixing experience. Its touch-sensitive Analog Feel potentiometers are engineered to provide a deliberate, precise response that feels closer to professional studio hardware than standard controller knobs. Combined with bright RGB indicators and a clear smart display, you can quickly identify the controls you need while maintaining confidence in every adjustment. The anodized aluminium construction adds durability for daily studio use and gives the controller a solid feel on your desk. For producers who value physical interaction during mixing, Compact offers a reassuring and consistent workflow.
Professional channel processing included
Included with Console 1 Compact is Softube's Core Mixing Suite, providing a complete collection of processing tools within a single channel strip. You get tape and preamp processing, transient shaping tools, vintage and modern equaliser options, multiple compressor models and a dedicated drive section for saturation.
This collection is designed to cover the essential stages of mixing without requiring additional software from day one. As your setup evolves, Console 1 Compact also supports a wide range of compatible channel strips and processors inspired by respected studio equipment. That flexibility allows you to tailor the system around your preferred sound and workflow while keeping everything accessible from the hardware surface.
Fits seamlessly into modern production setups
Compatibility is a major part of the Console 1 Compact design. It works with major DAWs including Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase, Pro Tools, Reaper, FL Studio and many others without requiring manual mapping. This means you can connect the controller and begin working straight away. Cubase users also benefit from particularly deep integration, with direct access to stock EQ and compression controls.
The compact footprint makes it easy to use as a permanent part of your studio or as a portable mixing solution for sessions away from home. Pack it into a travel setup, connect it to your system and continue working with the same familiar controls wherever your project takes you.
