SSL UF8

The SSL UF8 is a professional DAW controller with a unique and innovative feature mix. Up to four units can be cascaded via USB and used as a 19" unit or desktop controller.

Your creative work can be done comfortably and efficiently with the SSL UF8. The UF8 supports all common formats for e.g. Avid Pro Tools, Apple Logic Pro X, Steinberg Cubase, Nuendo, Presonus Studio One, Ableton Live and others.

Clever ergonomics and the comfortable SSL 360° software create optimal working conditions for your DAW-based music and film/TV post productions. In addition to premium components and high-quality workmanship, this also includes the individual assignment of the control elements.

In addition to cleverly positioned user keys, the encoder row, for example, can be configured in "channel" or "plug-in mode". This guarantees a smooth workflow and you can fully concentrate on your sound result. You can also optimise the latter with the two SSL Native Plug Ins "Vocalstrip 2" and "Drumstrip", which are included in the bundle.

The SSL 360° software also thinks for you. Changes are saved automatically and software updates are managed independently.
