SSL UF1
A single-fader SSL control surface with a 4.3-inch screen and jog wheel that can address up to three DAWs, positioned in the pro tier. Its motorized fader and compact footprint suit editors who want SSL workflow without a full bank. For multi-fader mixing it's only a starting point, pair it with a UF8 to get fader banks.
