SSL UC1

Solid State Logic DAW/Plug-In Controller!

The SSL UC1 is a unique hardware plug-in controller—for SSL plug-ins and (from 360° Software 1.7) also for ALL 3rd party plug-ins in VST3 format. The intuitive mixer layout provides you with premium knobs and switches for an optimal workflow. This turns operating any plug-in into a creative high point. Plus, you save time and engage muscle memory with every move.

The hardware eye-catcher is undoubtedly the authentic "Moving Coil" VU meter display for the gain reduction of the Bus Compressor 2 plug-in. This keeps the most important dynamic parameter always in view. Additionally, a multitude of LEDs provide an overview of levels, knob positions, and switch states—just like on a real mixing console. Speaking of mixing consoles—you also get the SSL 360° plug-in mixer. In this plug-in mixer, you can see and control all your 360°-compatible plug-ins like channel strips, bus compressors, and more in one place. The 360° plug-in mixer offers an efficient way to interact with multiple plug-ins simultaneously, bridging the gap between console and in-the-box workflows.

Besides numerous perpetual SSL licenses and a 6-month trial of "SSL Complete" (for all SSL plug-ins), the free 360° software from V1.7 introduces a groundbreaking, eagerly awaited feature: control of 3rd party plug-ins with the UC1. The software component that enables this is the "SSL 360 Link plug-in." This lets you easily map your favorite plug-ins to the UC1’s knobs and controls, which also appear in the 360° plug-in mixer. Features like "Drag & Drop" and "Click & Turn" make customization a breeze. The update also provides preset mappings for plug-ins from Waves, Universal Audio, and more.

With the UC1 and the UF8/UF1 DAW controllers, SSL offers you a uniquely intuitive and flexible ecosystem for your studio productions. The hassle-free setup and functional overview of the UC1 are explained under "Videos" with helpful tutorials (some with German subtitles).
