Product Info

Duende ("do-en-day") from SSL is a powerful DSP platform designed to serve up genuine, SSL console-grade audio processing within your audio workstation.

Years of custom, in-house DSP development and recent advances in technology have allowed us to finally create a product that delivers the sonic performance of SSL signal processing with maximum workflow integration at an affordable price.

Based on the superior DSP algorithms from our C-Series digital consoles, Duende is not a modeled recreation of the SSL sound - it's the genuine article.

Duende offers complete integration into the most popular workstation environments with one simple FireWire cable connection. The processing blocks appear as VST/AU plug-ins (RTAS support via FXPansion wrapper) - including an authentic SSL channel strip with filters, E and G series EQ and dynamics processing, as well as the legendary SSL Stereo Bus Compressor.

The EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip plug-in is ported from the C200 console and includes separate high and low pass filters, a four band parametric equalizer, an independent compressor/limiter and gate/expander as well as an output gain adjustment knob.
