The SSL of USB DAW Control Surfaces

Take control of your DAW-based production setup and supercharge your workflow. The Solid State Logic UF8 is an advanced DAW control surface with eight motorised, touch-sensitive faders; nine push/push rotary encoders; and eight high-resolution LCD TFT displays. SSL has been making world-class recording consoles for decades, and their extensive expertise is evident in the meticulous design of the UF8. Its professional pedigree is manifest throughout the design — from the just-right feel of its soft-touch rubber RGB backlit buttons to the robustness of its sleek, all-metal chassis. The system is expandable with up to four UF8s for 32 channels of DAW control. Connecting via high-speed USB and powered by SSL’s dedicated 360° software, the UF8 offers easy, streamlined operation along with powerful functionality.

SSL 360° software: the brains of the operation

Operationally, the UF8 works seamlessly with major DAWs — Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One, and Ableton Live — three of which can be be connected concurrently. SSL’s dedicated 360° software for macOS and Windows handles configuration with your DAW(s). You can drag and drop to reorder UF8s in a multi-surface configuration and customise the user keys on the control surface with your choice of DAW commands or keyboard shortcuts. You’ll never lose any brilliant moves, because SSL 360° automatically saves any changes you make in the background (and of course, you can always undo). It also manages software and firmware updates automatically.
