FRANKFURT, ProLight+Sound 2017 (Hall 3.1 Stand F11) - Solid State Logic is extremely proud to announce the release of δelta-control software for all Matrix2 and Matrix consoles. Since its launch, Matrix has set the standard for hybrid project-studio analogue mixing consoles, with its 40 analogue summing inputs, dual stereo mix busses, 16 motorised faders, SSL’s Total RecallTM system and advanced multi-layer DAW control.
Now in 2017, Matrix receives a significant update with the introduction of δelta-control (δ-Ctrl) software. Used across the SSL studio console range including Duality, AWS, Sigma and now Matrix, δelta-control is a collection of DAW plug-ins that allow analogue console automation to be recorded, edited and replayed via the DAW. δ-Ctrl automation data is cross-compatible, meaning you can start mixing on one SSL δelta-enabled console and then continue on another.
Matrix δelta offers two workflow options: The all-in-one ‘Matrix δelta 16’ plug-in or ‘Matrix Single Fader’ plug-in. Both plug-ins allow for automation of analogue fader levels, mutes, FX send on/off switches and fader trim levels. Furthermore, the Single Fader plug-in can also be used to automate Matrix’s mix bus level.
With this update, Matrix’s ‘Auto’ menu receives several new features to enhance mixing using δelta-control. These classic SSL automation features include the staple ‘Join’ and ‘Revise’ functions that offer a true SSL console ‘mix by section’ workflow, as used by many leading engineers.
In order to use δelta-control, existing users will need to purchase a δelta-control iLok plug-in license, available via the SSL webstore. It is also necessary to update the internal Matrix software for free to V3.
The upgrade will be available in June 2017 via the SSL website.
Delta Control iLok License Price: £49 / $60 / €56 Ex Tax
Delta Control plug-ins are available in all major DAW formats including AAX, AU and VST3.
