Professional Plugin Control Capabilities The Solid State Logic UC1 is a controller that brings the ergonomics of legendary SSL consoles to your studio. Thanks to its intelligent, deeply integrated knob and switch layout, multiple parameters can be controlled simultaneously and precisely, developing the operator's muscle memory and building confidence during mixing. The built-in SSL 360° system acts as a central hub for your plugins, offering a virtual console overview that allows you to mix with unmatched efficiency. Included full licenses for SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and SSL Native Bus Compressor 2 ensure immediate access to professional audio processing tools. Channel Strip 2 faithfully replicates the EQ and dynamics characteristics of the legendary XL 9000 K SuperAnalogue console, utilizing SSL’s proprietary anti-aliasing algorithms. Bus Compressor 2 opens a new world of possibilities with additional Ratio, Attack, and Release options, as well as x2 and x4 oversampling, which captures every nuance of the mix. Thanks to the 360° Link system, the UC1 is not limited exclusively to SSL plugins. You can map any third-party plugins to the controller surface, obtaining physical knobs for parameters that previously required mouse manipulation. This groundbreaking approach makes the UC1 a universal production tool, regardless of which plugins you use in your work.
