SSL Live 6.2: Solid State Logic integrates Klang immersive audio management into its flagship software

Vocal tuning, automation preview, the long-awaited integration with Klang and new control alternatives are among the main new features of version 6.2 of SSL Live, a software update that Solid State Logic will be shown for the first time in NAB 2026.

One of the most notable new features of SSL Live 6.2 is ​SolidPitch, a new vocal tuning effect integrated with powerful processing capabilities for doubling and harmonizing. The effect Doubler adds two copies of the tuned signal before sending it to the output, allowing it to be detuned and delayed to create a denser or wider impression when using a stereo path, while the Harmony adds another copy with the pitch shifted from the tuned signal.

​SSL Live V6.2 also adds communication with immersive processors Klang, which allows create and control immersive monitor mixes directly from the console. Audio can be routed through any interface, including MADI and Dante, and control is provided by network integration, allowing any Klang processing device to be incorporated into the SSL Live workflow.

The console Aux bus controls can be changed to Klang style, providing a Familiar and intuitive Klang graphical user interface (GUI) to manage individual mixes. Additionally, Klang mixes and console Aux buses can be combine freely depending on personal preference and the Klang hardware in use.

​SSL Live V6.2 also adds a number of workflow improvements, the monitoring and automation intended to optimize performance in live environments. To do this, the system provides a automation preview mode, which allows operators to temporarily isolate the console's DSP from any changes made to the surface, leaving audio passing unaffected while scenes are activated, viewed and adjusted.

The new version of the Solid Stage Logic system offers the possibility of the internal console effects can be displayed on a connected external display, giving engineers greater visibility and control of key effects such as SolidPitch or a compressor on the lead vocal, for example. Another novelty are the link groups (Link Groups), which allow routes of the same type to be grouped and permanently linked.

The news is completed with a expanded automation capability, which increases the maximum scenes from 200 to 500, or new destinations for events through the tool Event Manager, such as default power points only, auto mute safe o temporary auto mute safe. SSL Live V6.2, whose advantages can be discovered first-hand in NAB 2026, will soon be available as a free download for the entire range of consoles.
