Apollo Solo USB Manual UAD Meter & Control Panel 196
User Interface Settings
Controls Mode
This setting determines how UAD plug-in parameter knobs respond to adjustment. Three
control modes are offered: Circular, Relative Circular, and Linear. Select the desired
mode from the Controls Mode menu.
Tip: To increase control adjustment resolution when in adjusting rotary controls
in circular and relative circular modes, increase the radius of the mouse relative
to the knob while dragging (move the mouse farther away from the knob while
dragging in a circular motion).
Linear (slider)
In Linear mode, the knob is adjusted by dragging horizontally or vertically instead of by
rotating. This behavior is similar to moving a fader or other slider control.
Circular (jump)
In Circular mode, the software knobs behave like physical rotary knobs. Values are
changed by clicking on the knob then rotating in a circular direction. When the edge of
the knob is clicked, the parameter value instantly jumps to the mouse position.
Relative Circular (grab)
Relative Circular mode operates similar to Circular mode, but the knob value does not
jump to the mouse position when clicked. Instead, the knob value is modified relative to
its original value.
In this mode you can click anywhere on the knob to make an adjustment originating at
the original value (it’s not necessary to click on the current knob position).
Use Host Setting
When Use Host Setting is checked, the control mode that is set within the DAW’s
preferences is used (if this feature is supported by the DAW). This setting forces the
DAW to override the control mode set here.
Note: When Use Host Setting is checked, the UAD Meter Controls Mode settings
have no effect if the control mode can be set within the DAW.
Automatically send usage statistics to Universal Audio
Enabling this option helps make UAD software better. If checked, statistics will be
periodically sent to Universal Audio in the interest of product improvement. These
statistics are minimal, and do not impact your system performance. If this box is
unchecked, statistics are not sent.
Info Display
This area displays helpful text about parameters in the Configuration panel. Hover the
