Solid State Logic’s Legacy in Control

Advanced workflow is at the heart of Solid State Logic’s design philosophy. All the way back to the legendary 4000E console, SSL have led the way in developing tools which revolutionise the way we interact with our productions and harness creativity. Fast forward to today, SSL’s UF1, UF8 and UC1 controllers are doing the same once again. Removing barriers and connecting artists, producers, and engineers closer to their technical and creative workflow. The result? Better quality productions that come together effortlessly, with subtlety and emotion that sets them apart.

UF1 DAW Control Centre

UF1 is the ultimate single fader controller for anyone who wants comprehensive control of their DAW, bringing SSL’s renowned advanced workflow to in-the-box productions. UF1 boasts a premium 100 mm motorized fader, dual high-resolution displays, soft-feel durable rubber keys and a weighted jog wheel, all encased in a robust metal chassis. UF1 offers complete control of a DAW’s pans, sends, plug-in control and more, plus the ability to customise 46 soft keys specifically to your workflow. Clear and insightful visual feedback, intuitive control and deep integration with the SSL Meter Plug-in and SSL 360° software - UF1 offers power and control never seen before from a controller of this size.

1 To Control Them All

100 mm Motorised Fader

Quality feel, engineered response and a volume curve that keeps engineers in the sweet spot. Anyone who has driven an SSL console knows not all faders are equal.

Transport & Jog Wheel

Dedicated transport controls and a weighted jog wheel make moving around large sessions quick and efficient. Secondary transport keys can be customised to essential workflow shortcuts such as loop on/off or press the shift button to access DAW automation.

1.7” and 4.3” LCD TFT Displays

UF1’s dual high-resolution displays provide in-depth visual feedback of DAW track names, parameters, time display, the SSL Meter plug-in and 360-enabled channel strips in the SSL Plug-in Mixer.

Multi-Purpose Large Encoder

UF1’s large, multi-purpose notched encoder allows for channel banking, mouse wheel emulation (Focus mode) and control of computer system volume.

Human Engineering

For perfect positioning, each UF1 includes a pair of adjustable stands allowing for six different angles of elevation for user defined placement.

Customised Workflow

UF1 is powered by SSL 360° software where you can configure keyboard shortcuts and custom macros for total session control via 46 assignable, backlit user keys.

*As an eligible SSL hardware owner, you can claim a 6-month FREE SSL Complete subscription. After 6 months you will go onto a special month-to-month plan of $14.99 (normal price $24.99). You can cancel at anytime, no commitment.

You can claim this via registering your controller in the user portal and then clicking 'Get Additional Software'. See this FAQ to find out more (link to FAQ that tells user how to register their hardware).

Please note this offer is offered once per user, regardless of how many pieces of eligible controller hardware you own.

Meter Plug-in and SSL 360° Integration

Every UF1 purchase includes a perpetual license for the SSL Meter plug-in (worth $99.99) which is visualised 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 offers essential metering tools including Peak & RMS levels, K-System, stereo balance, phase corelation bar, Lissajous phase scope, 31-band RTA, VU and PPM metering.

Expand UF1 with SSL UC1 and UF8 Controllers

UF1 can be used on its own or partnered with UF8 for an even deeper SSL DAW control experience. UF1 is also the perfect hardware expansion for the UC1 SSL plug-in controller, adding fader control and providing easy access to SSL 360°-enabled channel strip parameters alongside visual feedback of EQ curves.

For the ultimate SSL controller setup offering full SSL virtual console workflow, combine up to four UF8s with UC1 and UF1.

Open DAW Policy

UF1 integrates with all major DAWs and includes workflow ready templates for Ableton®?Live™, Cubase™/Nuendo™, Pro Tools®, Logic Pro®, Studio One®, LUNA™, Pyramix™, Mixbus™ and REAPER™.
