For those seeking complete control of their DAW, SSL’s UF1 is the ultimate single fader controller that brings advanced workflow to in-the-box productions. Featuring a premium 100 mm motorized fader, dual high-resolution displays, soft-feel durable rubber keys, and a weighted jog wheel, all enclosed in a sturdy metal chassis, UF1 offers comprehensive control of a DAW’s pans, sends, plug-in control, and more. Moreover, it allows customization of 46 soft keys to suit your workflow. With clear and insightful visual feedback, intuitive control, and deep integration with the SSL Meter Plug-in and SSL 360° software, UF1 offers unprecedented power and control, never before seen in a controller of this size.
With the ability to control up to 3 DAWs simultaneously, SSL’s UF1 comes with profiles for popular DAWs such as Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Studio One, Ableton Live, LUNA, and Pyramix. The dedicated transport controls and weighted jog/scrub wheel enable users to navigate even the largest sessions quickly and efficiently. Secondary transport keys can be customized to essential workflow shortcuts such as Loop on/off and click track on/off, or users can press the Shift button for fast access to DAW automation modes. The premium 100 mm motorized SSL fader provides precise control when writing automation and fine-tuning track volume during recording and mixing sessions.
With UF1’s dual high-resolution displays, users can access 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. Users can also control SSL Channel Strip plug-ins directly from the UF1 surface, with the plug-in’s EQ curve displayed on the large display and gate and compression activity is shown on the small display. UF1’s large, multi-purpose notched encoder allows for channel banking, mouse wheel emulation (Focus mode), and control of computer system volume, providing users with comprehensive visual feedback and direct control.
In addition to its comprehensive DAW control, every UF1 purchase includes a perpetual license for the SSL Meter plug-in (worth $99.99 / £89.99 / €99.99), which is visualized on the large 4.3” IPS display and can be controlled directly from the UF1 surface or the SSL 360° Plug-in Mixer. The SSL Meter Plug-in offers essential metering tools, including Peak & RMS levels, K-System, stereo balance, phase correlation bar, Lissajous phase scope, 31-band RTA, VU, and PPM metering, making it a complete control solution for recording and mixing sessions.
UF1 can be used on its own or paired with UF8 for an even deeper SSL DAW control experience. It 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, which offers full SSL virtual console workflow, users can combine up to four UF8s with UC1 and UF1, providing versatile control options and the ultimate SSL controller setup.
