    Well done SSL. Good on you for supporting your products and people like me who bought them. 👍
  • @asta09ify
    Thank you for this remarkable new functionality! However, there is one thing that could make it even better. Pretty much a lot of space of UC1 is covered by Bus Compressor which has all of the knobs that are required for most compressors, comparing to compressor from a channel strip, ESPECIALLY attack knob. But it's only matched with 1 single plugin, while it can be used for almost every single compressor with a lot more comfort. So it would be great if you will allow to program it as well.

    Great enhancement, SSL !! I am an early adopter of the SSL Control Surface; starting with 2 UF8s and a UC1. SSL had advertised that would enhance and evolve the platform and I have been blown away by how far it has come in a short amount of time, both from the continual upgrades and enhancements to the 360 software and features, and the addition of the UF1. These products together create a formidable virtual SSL Console experience for the modern workflow. I can just see the natural evolution to an SSL DAW (hint hint). SSL continues to reaffirm my decision to invest in SLL products; control surfaces, software , and outboard gear. Their engineering teams produce brilliant innovations and I am always eager to see what's next.

    Top job guys, I almost feel bad using other plugins in your system lol. It works great in Cubase 13 Mac
  • @mcmSEA
    Very impressive! Thank you SSL team.

    Amazing update, now plz make Bus compressor mappable with the meter working, that would be a killer feature, but I'm sure you're ready with that in your sleeve for the future, it's business after all. Quick tip 4 all users ; when you try to map VCA fader (output gain on UC-1) it doesn't map it just moves up and down but it doesn't map to desired parameter, you have to left click with mouse on the fader to confirm it.

    Looks great. very keen to try it!!
  • @davidroikit8121
    Almost perfect...I´d like to see the compressor section mappable awsell.
  • @KultureUK
    Feature request: if it's possible, adding an oversampling option to the loaded plugin would be the final knockout blow. So many plugins that don't have OS would be transformed
  • @henrik3657
    Thank you, for giving us a quite a big free software bundle etc, including drumstrip / vocalstrip when buying SSL audio interface. Not to mention the allmost free, ssl flexverb, it was so cheap.
  • @JB-zg1ub
    Great job SSl. Does the compressor gain reduction LEDS correspond with the 3rd party plugin as well?
  • @rkschwe09
    Awesome engineering achievement! However.....you left out some serous functionality that you must do a video on. That is the functions between factory and user on the DAW Layer screen. 1. The capability to change the V-POT (labeled V-POT) with any macro or key function other than the original defaults. 2. The button colors can be changed. 3. The send/plugin keys can also be programmed. I was using a generic remote parameter setup in Cubase mapped to the same keys. But with the 360 SW update, I no longer need that . Not only that, I can change the color the keys. 4. The Automation keys can be changed. 5. The pan and shift keys change be changed. The above features, enhance the UF8 with use of Cubase Pro 12. I can map the plugins to the 8 V-Pots page by page. I can select the plugins via the send/plugin keys. Serious features. Thank you!
