Solid State Logic UF1

UF1 is the optimal 'single fader' controller for those who want complete control of their DAW. The new control surface from the historic Oxford-based company brings SSL's well-known advanced 'workflow' to in-the-box productions. UF1 features a 100mm motorised fader, a high-resolution dual display, a set of soft rubber buttons and a weighted jog wheel, all enclosed in a robust metal chassis. The UF1 offers full control of pans, sends, DAW plug-ins and more, plus the ability to customise the 46 'soft' buttons to suit your workflow. With clear, in-depth visual feedback, intuitive control, and deep integration with the SSL Meter plug-in and SSL 360° software, UF1 offers power and control never before offered by a controller in this class.

UF1 can handle up to 3 DAWs simultaneously and features profiles for Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Studio One, Ableton Live, Universal Audio LUNA and Pyramix. Dedicated transport controls and a weighted jog/scrub wheel allow you to navigate quickly and efficiently through even the most complex sessions. Secondary transport keys can be customised with essential workflow shortcuts such as loop on/off and click track on/off. Or, the Shift key can be pressed for quick access to DAW automation modes. The motorised 100mm SSL fader offers precise control during automation writing and, of course, fine-tuning of track levels during recording and mixing sessions.

The UF1's high-resolution dual display provides in-depth visual feedback of DAW track names, parameters, tempo display, SSL Meter plug-in and Channel Strip plug-ins enabled in the SSL 360° Mixer. You can control the SSL Channel Strip plug-in directly from the surface of the UF1, with the EQ curve shown on the large display. Gate and compression activity is also shown on the small display. The large step multifunction encoder allows channel banking, mouse wheel emulation (Focus mode) and computer system volume control.

In addition to full DAW control, UF1 also comes with a perpetual licence for the SSL Meter plug-in (worth €99.99), which can be viewed on the 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 measurement tools, including peak and RMS levels, K-System, stereo balance, phase correlation bar, Lissajous phase scope, 31-band RTA, VU and PPM measurement.

UF1 can be used alone or in combination with UF8 for an even deeper DAW control experience. The UF1 is also the perfect hardware expansion for SSL's UC1 plug-in controller, to which it adds fader control and provides easy access to channel strip parameters, as well as visual feedback of EQ curves.

For a state-of-the-art SSL controller setup offering the full SSL workflow for virtual consoles, up to four UF8s can be combined with UC1 and UF1.

Advanced workflow optimisation has always been at the core of Solid State Logic's product design philosophy. Ever since the legendary 4000E console, SSL has pioneered the development of tools that have revolutionised the way productions are handled while always being able to maximise creativity. Today, the SSL UF1, UF8 and UC1 controllers are doing the same, removing barriers and connecting artists, producers and sound engineers to their workflow creatively with advanced technology.
