Solid State Logic SSL UF1 DAW Fader Control Surface
More than just a fader, the UF1 is a complete command center. It provides comprehensive transport controls, a weighted jog wheel for effortless session navigation, and the ability to seamlessly switch between controlling pans, sends, and even your favourite plugins. The deep integration with the included SSL 360° software allows for extensive customization, while dedicated profiles for all major DAWs ensure you're up and running in minutes. The UF1 is the ultimate compact controller, powerful enough to be the centerpiece of your setup and versatile enough to expand with SSL's UF8 and UC1 controllers as your studio grows.
Key Features
- 100 mm Motorized Fader:A high-quality, touch-sensitive fader provides precise, responsive control for writing automation and making critical level adjustments.
- Dual High-Res Displays:A large 4.3” IPS display and a smaller 1.77” display provide constant visual feedback of DAW track names, parameters, timecode, and SSL Meter data.
- Comprehensive Transport Controls:Dedicated transport buttons and a smooth, weighted jog wheel give you direct command over your session timeline for faster editing and navigation.
- Deep Plugin Integration:Take hands-on control of any SSL 360°-enabled channel strip and the Bus Compressor 2, with parameters automatically mapping to the UF1's controls.
- SSL 360° Software:The powerful software hub for configuring your UF1, managing DAW profiles, and creating a customized workflow tailored to your needs.
- Official DAW Profiles:Comes ready with profiles for Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Studio One, Ableton Live, and more, providing a seamless 'out-of-the-box' experience.
- Perpetual SSL Meter License:Your purchase includes a full license for the SSL Meter plug-in, offering essential metering tools like Peak, RMS, K-System, and more.
- Expandable Ecosystem:UF1 can be used standalone or combined with up to four UF8 controllers and a UC1 for a comprehensive, modular SSL console experience.
- Robust Metal Construction:Built to last with an all-metal enclosure and a brushed anodised top plate, ensuring durability for daily professional use.
Why SSL UF1 Control Surface Is Better
While mixing 'in-the-box' offers incredible flexibility, it lacks the tactile connection and muscle memory that builds speed and confidence. The UF1 directly solves this by providing a physical connection to your mix. Unlike many competing single-fader controllers that feature plastic construction and basic functionality, the UF1 boasts a rugged all-metal build, superior high-resolution displays for clear feedback, and unparalleled integration with the SSL 360° software ecosystem. Its ability to natively control SSL's premium plugins and expand into a larger multi-fader setup with UF8 and UC1 places it in a class of its own, offering a professional growth path that simple, standalone faders cannot match.
