In terms of their usefulness, you can be as surgical or as gentle as you like with the EQ section – E-series for hacking into stuff, and G-series for gentle sound shaping. These are emulations of the channel designs used to mix just about every pop tune since the 4000 E-series was released in 1981.

So what will Duende do for you? How does 32 channels of SSL E or G series EQ combined with compression sound? Mighty attractive if you ask me.

According to SSL, this wrapper technology is courtesy of FXPansion’s VST > RTAS software but you’d never know it, as it’s integrated within the Duende installer. The software installs AU and VST versions of the plug-ins with ‘wrapper’ software to access the plugs as RTAS devices.

Ssl duende plugins drivers#

Currently, support extends to OSX 10.4.4, with Windows drivers expected around early October this year. It’s also recommended that, if you are running a Firewire-based audio interface, you should employ a separate Firewire bus for the Duende unit – not just another Firewire port but a completely separate bus on a third-party PCIx/e card. However, I’d be confident betting this will be possible with future software revisions. Two Firewire ports account for the only connectivity to the box, which leads me to believe you could gang these units up, but, as things stand, there’s no provision for daisy-chaining multiple Duendes. The unit will run from bus power or using the supplied wall-wart adapter.

It’s a similar affair to TC Electronic’s PowerCore and Focusrite’s Liquid Mix – you simply connect the unit via a Firewire 400 cable, install the software and go for it. There’s not a lot to say about the front panel other than it has a power switch and the words ‘Solid State Logic’ on the right-hand side. The Duende unit is a single 19-inch rackmount device that hooks into your system via Firewire. The C-series is itself modelled upon SSL’s analogue designs, specifically the E- and G-series consoles, and who better to emulate SSL circuitry than the SSL technicians themselves… And it’s this legacy that brings about the guts of Duende the same algorithms and technology that make the C-Series such a favourite of the broadcast and production industry. So what is Duende? Well, simply put, it’s a Firewire-based DSP system sporting channel strips and mix bus compression from SSL’s C-series digital consoles. Now we have Duende, which brings the SSL within hovering distance of us groundlings. But, even then, the XLogic range is still out of reach of most. In fairness, SSL has gradually been addressing the needs of those of us who are less well heeled with the release of its AWS900 console (which is nonetheless still over six figures!) and to a greater extent its outboard offerings. SSL FOR MORTALSĪn external DSP-based processor initially seems a strange move for a company that traditionally specialises in large-format consoles. Duende is the very essence of musical creativity and a darn good (or completely bizarre – Ed!) name for some SSL console-style processing that will integrate snugly with your DAW. The Spanish poet, Federico Garcia Lorca, when delivering his ‘famous’ lecture: The Theory and Function of Duende, is quoted as saying: “Thus duende is a power and not a behaviour, it is a struggle and not a concept.” You’re no doubt getting the gist by now. The Random House Dictionary translates the meaning to be a goblin, a demon and a spirit, or alternatively, the human attributes of charm and magnetism – charisma if you will. With the word’s recent migration into the English vernacular, the New Oxford English Dictionary claims duende to be a ghost or an evil spirit while equally being inspiration, magic and ‘fire’. Apparently the concept of ‘duende’ (pronounced ‘do-en-day’), owes its etymology to the Spaniards, and symbolises the human force behind creativity, most especially the musical art form. Huh? Until I’d taken delivery of SSL’s first DSP offering, I had no idea either. They’ve planted themselves fairly and squarely in the centre of the marketplace with a product that is sure to set tongues wagging.ĭuende.

Stem mastering for @ivanhelling today! It’s amazing what summing through a console can do! It’s subtle, but the depth and 3D quality of this SSL is tough to get in the box 🎚 . . . #recording #mixing #mastering #recordingstudio #amalog #ssl #sslconsole #aws900 #solidstatelogic #engineer #studiolife #bigbadsound #bigbadsoundla (at Big Bad Sound LA)
