Apollo Solo USB Manual Console Overview 70
Info Bar Overview
The Info Bar (illustrated below) is always visible at the bottom of the Console window. It
displays and provides access to several important functions.
Note: For detailed descriptions, see Info Bar.
Info Bar elements
Tempo
Console’s current tempo is displayed here in beats per minute (BPM). The value is used
by UAD plug-ins within Console that are set to use Tempo Sync. Click this area to enter
or tap a different tempo.
Sample Rate
Apollo Solo USB’s current sample rate is displayed here. Click this area to select a
different sample rate from the drop menu when using Console without a DAW.
Note: When using a DAW, the sample rate is managed within the DAW.
UAD Resource Gauges
This area displays DSP and memory resource loads used by all loaded UAD plug-ins
(within both Console and DAW). UAD loads can be monitored as needed, for example
when deciding which UAD plug-ins to load, based upon how much DSP is available.
Values displayed here are mirrored in the UAD Meter & Control Panel application. More
detailed (per-SHARC) display of DSP usage is available in the System panel within the
UAD Meter & Control Panel application.
