Toolbar
The toolbar is reserved for system controls that must remain easily accessible.
Clear Meters - This button clears all held peak and over indications on all hardware and software meters.
System Status - This window displays the sample rate, clock source and system status of the currently se-
lected system.
Toolbar Monitor Controls - These controls offer immediate access to a single deviceʼs speaker and head-
phone volume controls, independent of the selection in the Devices Sidebar. When multiple devices are con-
nected to your Mac, use the drop-down menu to choose which device’s controls are displayed. In most cases
choose the device to which your speakers and headphones are connected.
Devices Sidebar
Device Icon & ID Button
Any Maestro-compatible Apogee interfaces connected to the host computer
are displayed in the Devices sidebar, regardless of whether the connection is
made via Symphony PCI card, USB or FireWire.
Hardware settings are displayed by rst selecting one or more (by shift-click-
ing) interfaces in the Devices sidebar and then clicking on a tab.
A device icon and ID button is placed adjacent to each row of parameters
to identify the hardware unit to which the row belongs. By clicking on the ID
button, the corresponding hardware unit’s front panel will illuminate. Each
hardware unit is assigned a Peripheral Prex (A-Z, found in Maestro’s Device
Settings tab window) which is displayed on the ID button.
