![]() In case anyone was interested, though I am sure it’s obvious, I made the Console 1 stand as refused to pay the stupid prices currently being asked for them and anyway, they don’t make them to sit at the right height and angle for the location I wanted it for the UF8. Without a doubt, the setup makes for faster and more enjoyable mixing. I also replaced the capacitive fader cap on the CC121 with a non capacitive type so if I accidentally touch it, it doesn’t reset the fader on the selected channel.Īs a trio they work beautifully together and the CC121 makes up for some of the functions missing on the UF8, namely transport. ![]() I’ve unplugged the power supply to the CC121 to remove the function of the motorised fader, this still allows me to continue to use all the buttons and knobs etc. I’ll be getting another Elgato Streamdeck for this edit rig as I’ve found it invaluable for the main one for macro’s etc. You’re spot on, yes it was all about more functionality as well as hands on control. Console 1, UF8 and CC121 and I’m finding it a great combo. More functionality? The info the screens provide look great on the SSL This is the format chosen by Steinberg for their new USBpowered CC121 controller, which features an elegant but rugged allmetal case (72 x 185 x 284mm), a total of 15 rotary encoders, 30 mostly illuminated push-buttons, and a single 100mm longthrow motorised fader. SteveBee: I am curious as to why you went with the SSL instead of the Console 1 Fader since you already use a Console 1. I agree, the CC121 should have been updated to control the new additions to the channel strip. It should have been expanded upon yeas ago. Built like a tank and still working after almost a decade. It’s used for transport and shortcuts and the basic channel functionality. I’ve unplugged the Walmart for my CC121 as the fader is so noisy and it’s no longer needed now. If SSL had split these into separate fader units and a master section, I’d be shelling out right now for 2 x faders and a master unit. You don’t get spill function with the MCU protocol but it will mirror your track configs and it has a section on the board that lets you switch between, tracks, groups, FX and VCA’s. ![]() Combined use with my Console 1 gives me all the control of Nuendo that I was missing without having to shell out 35k on Nuage. It’s a short learning curve and their 360 software to control the layers and add key commands is very well thought out. The rotary controls, almost silent faders and large led with meters are a dream. Having tried all the others, this is by far the most useful and user friendly implementation I have tried. Instead of 8 faders it will only have one on the left, but it will be automated like in the CC121. ![]() It’s a seriously great controller based on the old MCU protocol. OK, let me fantasize a bit in case a Steinberg/Yamaha product manager is on this board: the new CC121 will be a merger of the CC121 and the Arturia Keylab Essentual 61. Now slightly off topic so forgive me here. I’ve given up on Steiny/Yamaha producing a mid range controller or expanding the CC121 and its functionality. ![]()
