System Requirements.

On which system has it been tested?


All these presets have been tested on a Mac with Console 1 Compact.


Everything has been tested on the latest version available on September 1, 2026, of macOS, Console 1, and all plug-ins.


However, we can’t guarantee they’ll work on Windows. It depends on how the plug-ins are created. We’d love to hear from Windows users who’ve tried them to see if they work or not. They most likely do, but one or two plugins might have been created with different mapping parameters for Win then Mac and we have no way of testing that on a Mac!


But for now, we only supply installation instructions for Mac (if you know Windows file system well, you can figure it out - see the name of the installation folder on Mac and find the same for Windows).


It’s also important to note that you should not have moved your plug-ins from their original location in the VST3 folder, or some of the ‘presets’ won't work. Who does that anyway?


Console 1 uses VST3 plugins regardless of whether you use it as an AU or VST3 plugin. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure that all your plugins are installed as VST3, even if you only use Logic as your DAW.


We can’t guarantee that Softube won’t modify their software, rendering these presets obsolete, or that other software companies will alter their codes, causing compatibility issues. We disclaim any liability.


Therefore, thoroughly test them on your system before incorporating them into your daily mixing routine. They work for us, but they may not work for you.


Additionally, remember that you must own the plug-ins the ‘presets’ use for them to function.

How to install on Mac.

Please refer to the installation instructions provided in the Read me file after unpacking the zip file.


Copy all the files and folders inside the unzipped folder named ‘Maps’ and then paste them into the following location:


/Library/Application Support/Softube/SSX/


In Finder, click on the ‘Go’ menu and select ‘Go to folder’. Then, paste the path mentioned above.


If the Console 1 plugin is running, please unload it from memory and quit the DAW. Otherwise, the 'presets' won't appear the next time you open the Console 1 plugin.


All plugins ‘presets’ with original ‘presets’ have been named with an asterisk (*) to distinguish them from the original in Console 1.


If a plugin has a new ‘preset’, its name starts with ‘x’ to ensure it appears at the bottom of the options list for loading in a given module in Console 1.

FAQs

  • No, they are new and won’t overwrite the originals when you install them. They have unique filenames that all end with ‘Alt’.

  • Yes, in Console 1, you can always click twice on ‘favorites’ to hide them. Alternatively, you can simply remove them from the disk.

  • Because not all plugins transmit gain reduction to Console 1.

  • Some plugins don’t allow us to display these correctly, so we disabled the display for those that don’t and where it doesn’t make sense to show it.

  • We do not recommend that, and if you misspell just a simple “ or , the ‘preset’ won’t work anymore.

    If you rename anything it is at your own risk, and all places you already used the preset, won’t work anymore! So be very, very careful.

    But yes, you have to open up every ‘preset’ and rename them under “displayName”: (can be multiple places in every ‘preset’).

  • It depends on how people will welcome them into the world.

  • No, we currently have no plans to make time for that.

  • No, they aren’t. So don’t expect them to support you, if you have any problems.

  • No, as of now, FlowStudio only supports Softube's one plug-in format, and won't load VST3.

  • At the time of making these ‘presets’ we thought it made sense to place them where we did. Today we might place a parameter or two differently, but when first in use, it is not possible to alter the ‘preset’, or they might not work in old sessions anymore.

    We also tried to map knobs in the same place in ‘shape’ as they are in ‘comp’ to activate muscle memory. And similar places in ‘eq’ for mix, input, output, lowcut… if possible.

  • Because we (most of the time) mapped them to work the same way as in the original plug-in GUI.

  • We can’t provide an answer to that question because we didn’t create either Pro-C 3 or Console 1 plugin. However, we’re aware of some compatibility issues, but we’ve heard rumors that Softube has resolved the problem, and support for ‘comp’ is expected in the near future.

    And speaking of FabFilter plugins, please refer to the comments in the section titled: Included ‘presets’, to know what works and what doesn’t.

  • Unfortunately, in our test, we could not make a single VST3 plugin receive sync from the DAW through the Console 1 plugin. We suspect Softube hasn’t enabled it to VST3, but it works for their own plugins, as they use a different standard.

  • On Mac these plugins are installed in subfolders within the VST3 folder. Please ensure that they haven’t been moved. All other plugins only work if they are installed directly in the VST3 folder.
