Solid State Logic UC1 Plug-In Controller

The UC1 hardware plug-in controller delivers authentic SSL console ergonomics directly to your DAW, featuring dedicated knob-per-function controls for Channel EQ and Dynamics alongside a centre section with full Bus Compressor controls and an authentic moving-coil gain reduction meter. This intelligent control surface draws on SSL's decades of analogue and digital console design experience, providing seamless integration with SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 plug-ins to create a production tool that builds muscle memory and inspires confidence.

At the core of every UC1 system sits the SSL 360° Plug-in Mixer, offering a centralised view and control hub for all your Channel Strips and Bus Compressors in one location. This innovative approach allows for true console-style mixing within your DAW environment, with multiple parameters controlled simultaneously and precisely. The UC1's layout of encoders, switches and colour groupings mirrors professional SSL console ergonomics, providing the sonic flexibility and workflow efficiency that SSL production tools are renowned for.

Every UC1 purchase includes licenses for SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 plug-ins, developed exclusively by SSL's engineering team in Oxford using original console data sheets and specifications. The Channel Strip 2, based on SSL's digital modelling of the legendary XL 9000K console, incorporates SSL's proprietary anti-cramping algorithms to prevent phase and amplitude wrapping, delivering what SSL considers their best sounding Channel Strip to date. The recent SSL 360° V1.6 software update brings enhanced DAW integration, MIDI CC Layer functionality, customisable soft key colours, and improved workflow features, demonstrating SSL's ongoing commitment to modern production requirements.
