SSL UC1

The SSL UC1 is a unique hardware plug-in controller. The comfortable mixer layout provides you with high-quality knobs and switches for the legendary SSL workflow. Not only does this make operating the included plug-ins a creative flight of fancy, but it saves you time and activates muscle memory with every move.

The eye catcher is undoubtedly the authentic "moving coil" VU meter display for the gain reduction of the Bus Compressor 2 plug-in. This way, you have the most important dynamics parameter in view at all times. In addition, a multitude of LEDs provide an overview of levels, knob positions and switch positions - just like a real mixing console.

Speaking of a mixing console - this is also available to you as a plug-in mixer in the SSL 360° software. Different views and a zoom function optimize your workflow here. The UC1 Plug-In Controller is designed as a central control unit for almost all steps during your creative work. The selection of the channel strip and the desired bus compressor on the UC1 is supported by a high-resolution display. You can also call up presets and change the channel order.

The included plug-in licenses provide you with the new revised versions. The "Channel Strip 2" is a complete channel strip based on the EQ and Dynamic algorithms of the legendary XL 9000 K SuperAnalogue™ mixing console. In the new version 2, SSL has once again optimized the algorithms to prevent sound distortion when boosting high frequencies (15-20 kHz). Because of this revision, the "Channel Strip 2" actually sounds even better than its predecessor.

With the "Bus Compressor 2", SSL was able to realize many user wishes. Thus, this legendary plug-in includes additional ratio, attack and release options, the possibility to trigger the side chain externally and 2x or 4x oversampling.

For a trouble-free setup and function overview of the UC1, you will find a very helpful tutorial with German subtitles under "Videos".
