Solid State Logic SSL UC1 Advanced Hardware Plug-In Controller

Elevate the sound and speed of your mixes with the Solid State Logic UC1, a console-style hardware control surface providing fast, intuitive, knob-per-function control of the bundled SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 plug-ins, which boast precise digital modeling, external sidechain triggering, and many other user-requested features. Whether you run it standalone or alongside the UF8 (available separately), the UC1 merges the ergonomic workflow of SSL’s legendary analog consoles with the impressive sonic performance of their plug-ins.
Connect the UC1 to your Mac/Windows computer with either of the supplied cables (USB Type-C or USB Type-A) and switch between three connected DAWs such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, or Ableton Live. With smart LED rings, 16-segment I/O meters, and an authentic moving-coil Bus Compressor meter, the UC1 offers immediate and constant visual feedback. Change routing and load presets at the push of a button, and tap into the SSL 360° software to engage with multiple plug-ins at the same time.

SSL Plug-In Controller
UC1 is a hardware plug-in controller with dedicated knob-per-function Channel EQ and Dynamics controls, a center section featuring full Bus Compressor controls, and an authentic moving-coil gain reduction meter. The summation of these features yields a creative, intuitive, and ultimately effective way of controlling the new SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 plug-ins within your DAW session.
Console Ergonomics and Workflow
SSL production tools set a benchmark for studio ergonomics and workflow. UC1 draws on decades of analog and digital console design to develop an intelligent and deeply integrated SSL plug-in control surface that lets you focus on your production goals and not the process.
UC1’s layout of encoders, switches, and color groupings offer professional SSL console ergonomics seamlessly integrated with SSL’s most advanced Channel Strip and Bus Compressor plug-ins to date. Multiple parameters can be controlled simultaneously and precisely, equipping you with a production tool that nurtures muscle memory, provides unmatched sonic flexibility, and inspires operator confidence.

Every detail of UC1 has been implemented to keep you in control and informed of how your mix is reacting to processing. Dedicated front-panel encoders accompanied by an onboard high-resolution display allow you to move quickly between instances of Channel Strip and Bus Compressor directly from the surface. You can also load presets, as well as alter the Channel Strip process order.

SSL 360° Plug-In Mixer
At the heart of the UC1 system is the SSL 360° Plug-In Mixer; view and control all of your Channel Strips and Bus Compressors in one place. The 360° Plug-In Mixer offers an efficient way of interacting with multiple plug-ins simultaneously, further bridging the gap between console and in-the-box workflows.
Channel Strip and Bus Compressor
UC1 provides dedicated controls for all key Channel Strip 2 plug-in parameters. EQ, filters, compressor, and gate/expander controls offer the same configuration and visual feedback as found on large-format SSL consoles, allowing you to quickly find your channel processing sweet spot.

At the heart of UC1 are Bus Compressor controls. Its authentic layout and metering feels like you’re controlling a hardware bus comp built into the center section of an SSL console. With a classic moving-coil gain reduction meter as found on SSL consoles since the 1970s, it represents the Bus Compressor’s time constants and gain reduction characteristics perfectly for producers and engineers to know exactly how it’s reacting with their instruments, subgroups, and mix bus.
SSL Plug-Ins Included
Full licenses of SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 plug-ins are included with UC1. Channel Strip 2 is a full-featured Channel Strip, based on digital modeling of the EQ and Dynamics curves from the legendary XL 9000 K SuperAnalogue console. V2 adds SSL’s proprietary anti-cramping algorithms and the ability to trigger the dynamics sidechain externally. Bus Compressor 2 adds many user requests, with additional ratio, attack and release options, the ability to trigger the sidechain externally, as well as x2 and x4 oversampling.
