Apollo Solo USB Manual Unison 175
Note: Some Unison plug-ins have only two gain stages.
Matching Gain Stage Indicators
In Gain Stage Mode, Apollo Solo USB’s level indicator (the colored ring around the
top panel hardware knob) matches the colored dot on the target gain parameter in the
Unison plug-in’s interface, as shown below. The hardware and software controls are
mirrored and the gain stage can be adjusted using either control.
The color of Apollo Solo USB’s level indicator changes
to reflect the plug-in gain stage being controlled
The matching color dot on the parameter in the Unison plug-in interface indicates
which gain stage is being controlled by Apollo Solo USB’s top panel knob
Available Gain Stages
Unison plug-ins have up to three gain stage parameters. With Unison plug-ins that
contain two gain parameters, only the available gain parameters are cycled and
controlled in Gain Stage Mode.
Note: For details about the unique gain stage parameters available within
individual Unison plug-in titles, refer to the UAD Plug-Ins Manual.
