Solid State Logic has announced SSL 360° Link plug-in software, which enables the UC1 surface to control any third-party plug-in from within the SSL 360° environment and ‘virtual console’ hybrid workflow.
The software/hardware combination of UC1 plug-in controller and SSL 360° software provides a ‘knob-per-function’ plug-in control and visual feedback for users. With the SSL 360° Link Plug-in, users have greater control through access to a broader palette of plug-ins.
Delivered through a streamlined user interface and designed with intuitive se-tup features, SSL 360° Link lets users quickly drop third-party plug-ins into a session and control them with the advanced ‘console-style’ workflow that UC1 offers. Any third-party plug-ins mapped via 360° Link become visible in the SSL 360° Plug-in Mixer (also controllable from SSL’s UF1 and UF8 control surfaces) alongside SSL’s 4K E, 4K B and CS2 channel strips, resulting in an even deeper integration into a virtual SSL console workflow.
SSL 360° Link comes with a selection of customisable factory maps for popular SSL channel strip plug-ins from the likes of Slate Digital, Harrison Audio, Universal Audio, Waves, and Brainworx. While UC1 is optimised for a typical channel strip layout, any plug-in can be quickly mapped using the user-friendly mapping tool.
The SSL 360° Link Plug-in is a free-of-charge download and will be available in AAX Native/AU/VST3/VST formats via the Solid State Logic website in early Q2 2024. Third-party ‘hosted’ plug-ins must be in VST3 format.
