Apollo Solo USB Manual UAD Meter & Control Panel 183
UAD Meter & Control Panel
The UAD Meter & Control Panel application is used to monitor and configure UAD device
resources. It is also used to manually authorize UAD plug-ins after a purchase as the
UA store. The application has two main windows: the UAD Meter, and the UAD Control
Panel.
The UAD Meter displays the current DSP, program, and memory status of UAD devices
in realtime. The UAD Control Panel has multiple panels that display and modify various
system, plug-in, and global configuration parameters.
Note: The UAD Meter & Control Panel application is for all UAD device models
(Arrow/Apollo audio interfaces and UAD-2 DSP Accelerators).
UAD Meter Window
The UAD Meter & Control Panel application can be launched or quit at any time. It does
not need to be open or active to use Apollo Solo USB or UAD plug-ins. It is completely
independent and does not require Console or a DAW. You can move the UAD Meter to a
convenient location on your screen by dragging its window title bar.
Note: If “No Devices Found” appears in the UAD Meter window instead of the
expected buttons and gauges, the UAD software is not communicating with the
UAD hardware. If this occurs, double-check hardware and software installations
and/or contact Technical Support.
Launching the Application
Either of these methods can be used to open the UAD Meter & Control
Panel program:
• Right-click the blue UA diamond logo in the Windows System
Tray (at lower right of screen), then select “Console” from the
contextual menu
• Access the program from:
Start Menu>All Programs>UAD Powered Plug-Ins>Console
1. Click
2. Right-click
