Introducing the SSL UC1 hardware plug-in controller

Perfect for producers and engineers, the UC1 is a hardware plug-in controller like no other. It features dedicated knob-per-function controls for EQ and Dynamics, a centre section with full Bus Compressor controls, and an authentic moving-coil gain reduction meter. This combination provides the most creative, intuitive, and effective means of controlling plug-ins within your DAW session. In addition to controlling 360-enabled plug-ins such as Channel Strip 2, 4K E, 4K B and Bus Compressor 2, UC1 includes SSL 360 Link, a ground-breaking plug-in that allows you to control any 3rd party plug-in from the UC1 surface.

Production speed, processing control and creative agility

UC1s layout of encoders, switches, and colour groupings offers professional SSL console ergonomics seamlessly integrated with our 360-enabled plug-ins. Multiple parameters can be controlled simultaneously and precisely, equipping you with a production tool that nurtures muscle memory, provides unmatched sonic flexibility and inspires operator confidence. To expand your hybrid workflow further, accompany with the UF8 and UF1 Advanced DAW Controllers.
