Overview

What is SSL UC1?

UC1 is a hardware control surface that provides knob-per-function access to SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2
plug-ins. UC1 is designed to put the fun back into mixing, with a workflow that promotes muscle-memory operation and ultimate
operator confidence. The updated Channel Strip plug-in sees a graphical layout change to make it vertical, as well as a DSP refresh
to include SSL's proprietary 'anti-cramping' algorithms (first included in X-EQ 2). Channel Strip 2 also allows an external sidechain
to the dynamics section, whilst Bus Compressor 2 receives additional Attack, Release and Ratio options, oversampling and an
external sidechain input. SSL 360° v1.1 introduces the truly innovative Plug-in Mixer; a place to view and control your Channel
Strips and Bus Compressors side by side - it's like having a virtual SSL console inside your computer.
