Essentials Bundle Q4,C3,R2 and Console 1 MK3

New here. Purchased a Console 1 mk3, in part because of the integration with FabFilter. The info I’ve seen online regarding compatibility with the newer versions of the FabFilter Essentials Bundle (Pro-Q4, Pro-C3, ProR2) hasn’t been consistent. Is Console 1 mk3 in fact mapping to Pro-Q4, Pro-C3, Pro-R2 or only to older versions (Q3,C2,etc) Or is there another aspect to this question that I’m not factoring in?

Thanks very much,
Treme Wilson

Hi Treme,

Also replied to you email, but I'll post this here as well.

Softube creates all mappings of our plug-ins for the Console 1 system. We believe they try to include new releases as soon as they can, but it might take a while after an update for the plug-in to be supported in Console 1. You can see what plug-ins are supported on their website:

Q4 works fine in Console Channel 1 mk3.
