ssl UF1 DAW controller
Solid State Logic’s legacy in control
Advanced workflow is at the heart of Solid State Logic’s design philosophy. Ever since the legendary 4000E console, SSL has led the way in developing tools that revolutionize the way we handle our productions and harness our creativity.
Fast forward to today, SSL’s UF1, UF8 and UC1controllers are doing the same thing again. They remove barriers and connect artists, producers and technicians closer to their technical and creative workflow. The result? Productions of better quality that come together effortlessly, with subtlety and emotion that sets them apart.
UF1 DAW control center
UF1 is the ultimate single fader controller for anyone who wants comprehensive control over their DAW, bringing SSL’s renowned advanced workflow to in-the-box productions. UF1 features a premium 100mm motorized fader, two high-resolution displays, durable soft-feel rubber keys and a weighted jog wheel, all in a rugged metal chassis.
The controller offers full control over a DAW’s pans, sends, plug-in control and more, plus the ability to customize 46 soft keys specifically to your workflow. Clear and insightful visual feedback, intuitive operation and deep integration with the SSL Meter Plug-in and SSL 360° software – UF1 offers power and control never before seen from a controller of this size.
100 mm motorized fader
Quality feel, sophisticated response and a volume curve that keeps engineers in the “sweet spot. Anyone who has ever driven an SSL console knows that not all faders are equal.
Transport and jog wheel
Special transport buttons and a weighted jog wheel make moving through large sessions fast and efficient. Secondary transport keys can be customized for essential workflow shortcuts such as loop on/off or press the shift button to access DAW automation.
Multifunctional large encoder
The UF1’s large, notched multifunction encoder allows channel banking, mouse wheel emulation (Focus mode) and computer system volume control.
Custom workflow
The UF1 is controlled by SSL 360° software where you can configure hotkeys and custom macros for total control of the session via 46 assignable, backlit user keys.
Meter Plug-in and SSL 360° integration
Each UF1 purchase includes a perpetual license for the SSL Meter plug-in (worth $99.99) which is visualized on the large 4.3″ IPS display and can be controlled directly from the UF1 surface and the SSL 360° Plug-in Mixer. The SSL Meter Plug-in provides essential measurement tools including Peak & RMS levels, K-System, stereo balance, phase corelation bar, Lissajous phase scope, 31-band RTA, VU and PPM measurement.
