Apollo Solo USB Manual UAD Meter & Control Panel 186
Memory
The Memory (MEM) gauge indicates the percentage of UAD RAM that is currently in use.
It indicates the total available UAD memory available, regardless of the number of DSP
processors that are installed.
Memory is used for echo, delay lines, reverb, and other spatial processing. When UAD
plug-ins are disabled but not unloaded, memory requirements are not decreased. In this
case, the memory remains loaded so that reverb tails and delay lines are not cut off when
the plug-in is disabled.
Meter Menu
The Meter Menu can be used to access the UAD Control Panels and Always On Top
mode. To view the Meter Menu, click the menu button in the UAD Meter window title bar
as shown below. After clicking the menu button, select an available function from the
drop menu.
Tip: The Meter Menu functions can also be accessed by using the keyboard
shortcuts listed in the menu.
Accessing the Meter Menu
Control Panels
The UAD Control Panels (System Info, Plug-Ins, Configuration, Help) can be accessed by
selecting them from the Meter Menu.
Always On Top
The UAD Meter & Control Panel application windows can be set to either normal or
Always on top view modes.
In normal mode, the UAD Meter and UAD Control Panel windows are covered by the
windows of the foreground application. Normal mode is active when the Always On Top
menu item is unchecked
In Always On Top mode, the UAD Meter and UAD Control Panel windows always float on
top of other windows, even when other applications are in the foreground. Always On Top
is active when a check mark appears next to the item in the Meter Menu.
