Frequently Asked Questions

While primarily designed for DAW control, the UF8 can be configured to send MIDI data, allowing for some virtual instrument control, though it's not its primary function.
SSL 360° isn't hugely demanding, but a reasonably modern computer with at least 8GB of RAM and a decent CPU will ensure smooth operation and plugin processing.
