I/O Presets Overview
The I/O presets controls provide methods for managing complete I/O Matrix panel 
configurations as I/O preset files. When an I/O preset file is saved, the current I/O Matrix 
panel configuration is written to disk.
When an I/O preset file is subsequently reloaded, the I/O Matrix panel is returned to the 
exact same routing state, regardless of any changes to I/O Matrix settings that were made 
in the interim. 
I/O Preset Files Location
I/O preset files are saved to, and loaded from, the user’s home folder at:
•  Mac: Users/UserName/Documents/Universal Audio/IOPresets/
•  Windows: C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Universal Audio\IOPresets\
Note: I/O preset files must reside in the default location to appear in the Route 
Presets popover within Console.
I/O Preset Files Suffix
I/O preset files have the “.uadio” suffix. The suffix is added to I/O preset files 
automatically when saving to disk; however, the suffix is not displayed in the file save 
dialog (the suffix should not be manually typed when saving a I/O preset file).
Note: Without the .uadio suffix, I/O preset files will not be visible in the load 
preset window.
Factory I/O Presets
A variety of I/O presets are pre-installed with the software. The factory I/O presets are 
provided for backwards compatibility with Apollo sessions created with Console v1 and 
are not recommended for use with Apollo Solo. 
I/O Presets Menu
The currently loaded I/O preset name is displayed on top of the menu 
switch, as shown at right. If the I/O preset has not yet been saved, 
then “(Untitled)” appears in the display. 
If a loaded I/O preset has been modified since it was saved, the I/O 
preset name is displayed in italics, as shown at right.
Clicking the I/O Presets display opens the I/O Presets Popover, where 
various I/O preset functions can be performed.
