Smart LED Rings

knob position in the plug-in.

The Virtual Notch

The Channel Strip 2 GAIN controls for the EQ bands, Input and Output Trim all have an in-built 'virtual
notch'. Although there is no physical difference, the software that drives UC1 helps you to 'feel' your
way back to 0 dB - making it easy to flatten an EQ band from the UC1 hardware. The smart LED(s)
also dim in this position.

The Channel Strip and Bus Compressor IN Buttons

The large square IN buttons on UC1 control the DAW's Bypass function for that Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 instance. i.e.
when they are switched out, the plug-in is bypassed. Bypassing the Channel Strip, Bus Compressor or even just the EQ/Dynamics
section will also cause the LEDs on UC1 to dim, to help identify the bypassed state.
