Product information "SSL UF8"
The SSL UF8 is a professional DAW controller featuring a unique and innovative combination of advanced functionality and flexible design. Up to four UF8 units can be cascaded via USB and used either as a desktop controller or mounted in a 19" rack setup.
The UF8 offers precise navigation with a multi-function master encoder, allowing quick access to the DAW timeline, track banking, and mouse wheel emulation. Dual-assignable buttons enable fast recall of functions, as well as intuitive solo and mute control in DAWs such as Pro Tools and Logic Pro.
Enhanced channel and plug-in control functions provide a streamlined workflow, especially for Pro Tools users, with easy access to sends and plug-ins without interrupting the creative process. Each unit includes 43 freely assignable keys across 5 configurable banks, allowing full customization of shortcuts and macros.
Up to four UF8 units can be connected via the THRU port, creating a powerful 32-channel control surface—ideal for large-scale mixing or post-production sessions.
The UF8 integrates seamlessly with all major DAWs and includes pre-configured templates for Ableton Live, Cubase/Nuendo, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Studio One, LUNA, and Pyramix.
