SSL UF8 User Guide
6 - Short Label
Using your computer keyboard, you can type the label that you wish to appear on the UF8 LCD just below the User Key.
7 - Profile Name and SAVE/LOAD/SAVE AS Buttons
Allows you to save your customised DAW profiles as an .xml file to your computer or any connected hard-drives. The name of the
currently active profile is shown above these buttons. If you have made any changes to the saved profile, then an asterisk (*) is
appended to indicate this.
Built-in Auto-Saving Feature
Changes you make to the software are automatically stored in the background, so you don't need to worry about remembering to
save each time you change something in SSL 360° software.
User-Assignable Keys
A number of keys on UF8 are user-assignable and can be changed from their factory shipped assignments. Each UF8 unit has
the following user-assignable keys:
5 x banks of 8 Top-Row Soft Keys, accessed by SOFT KEY buttons 1-5 in the top-right of UF8.
3 x QUICK Keys
2 x Foot-switches
All of these keys can have either DAW commands or keyboard
shortcut sequences assigned to them.
Assigning DAW Commands
Clicking on the pen symbol for any user-assignable key will bring
up a pop-up window, from which DAW command can be selected
using the radio buttons on the left-hand side. To assign a different
DAW command to the button in question, simply select one from
the list of available HUI/MCU commands. The SHORT LABEL text
field allows you to enter the label you want to appear on the LCD to
accompany this command. The list of available commands depends
on the selected DAW.
Assigning Keyboard Shortcut Sequences
If you would like to assign a keyboard shortcut sequence, select
the Keyboard command option. Once selected, simply click your
mouse cursor into the area that says 'Type your commands here...'
and use your keyboard to enter the desired key press or sequence.
Should you make a mistake and need to start again, you can use the
CLEAR button. The SHORT LABEL text field allows you to enter the
label you want to appear on the LCD to accompany this keyboard
shortcut sequence.
ADVANCED Setup Options
Transport Master
If you are running multiple DAWs that are linked using MIDI timecode,
then you can designate 1 of the 3 DAW profile layers to be transport
master. This means that the transport keys will always trigger from the
DAW assigned as Transport Master, even if your UF8 is controlling a
different DAW Layer.
