Frequently Asked Questions

HUI/MCU ensures broad DAW compatibility, but some specific functions may require custom mapping within your DAW's settings.
While it technically supports 32 faders with cascading, 8-12 tracks is a sweet spot for manageable workflow and accurate recall.
These are integrated components, and replacement would likely require sending the unit back to SSL for servicing.
