What Solid State Logic XL 9000 K-Series for Console 1 does
Where the earlier SL 4000 E is widely considered suited to pop and rock, the XL 9000 K is described by the developer as wide, large and smooth, a clean console that has virtually no distortion of its own, which is why the channel includes a separate distortion model. The first 9000 series console appeared in the mid-1990s as a breakthrough in analog design.
The Drive knob in Console 1 sets the amount of distortion, and the Character knob shapes the added distortion, through a VHD Variable Harmonic Drive model. The channel also has extended gate and compressor options and a Shape section whose controls are more individually adjustable than on the SL 4000 E model. The equalizer is described as clean, smooth and natural. The plugin runs as VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and RTAS on Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native support for Apple Silicon listed, and activation uses iLok. Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Reaper and Studio One are the hosts named by the developer.
