50 | CUSTOMIZING THE CHANNEL STRIP
You can also create default presets for dierent
strips or plug-ins by saving a preset called default.
c1preset in the corresponding folder. See “Save
Preset” on page 42.
Changing the Order of the
Sections
e default order of the Console1 eects is as they
are laid out on the hardware and in the On-Screen
Display: rst shape, then equalizer and nally
compressor.
Sometimes a dierent order of the eects may be desir-
able. For example, if you add a lot of low frequencies
with the equalizer, it may be better to do this after the
compressor.
Change the order of Console 1’s sec-
tions using the Order button.
e current order is displayed above the Order
button and in the On-Screen Display. e default
state is →→ (shape, equalizer, compressor). To
change the order of the eects sections, press the
Order button. e other options are →→
(equalizer, shape, compressor) and →→
(shape, compressor, equalizer).

Load Plug-Ins
Load dierent strips and plug-ins
by pressing Shift and select either
Strip, Shape, EQ or Comp.
Loading Con-
sole1 compatible
channel strips and
eects is done by
holding Shift and
pushing one of
the rst four
channel selector
buttons, with the
orange labels
Strip, Shape, EQ and Comp.
Holding Shift and selecting Strip (track selector
button 1) lets you load any Console1 channel strip
into the selected track, replacing the Solid State
Logic SL4000E.
Doing so opens a menu where you see all Console1
compatible channel strips that you have available on
your system. Scroll down the list using Volume/Se-
lect, and press either Solo/OK to conrm or Mute/
Cancel to cancel. e channel strip name and logo
in the On-Screen Display will change to reect
your choice.
In a similar manner, you can choose to load single
eects into the Shape, Equalizer and Compres-
sor sections separately. Again, hold Shift and press
track selector button 2 to load a Shape eect, track
selector button 3 to load an equalizer or track selec-
tor button 4 to load a compressor. Again, a menu
will appear, listing the compatible and suitable
eects. Use Volume/Select to scroll down to the
eect you would like to use, and press either Solo/
OK to conrm, or Mute/Cancel to cancel.
If you load a Shape, Equalizer and/or Compres-
sor eect, the High Cut and Low Cut lters and
the Drive section will not change from what was
included in the channel strip you are customizing.
ese sections only change with the channel strips.
