Apollo Solo USB Manual Console Overview 71
Current Bank Overview
An important navigational concept in Console is the Current Bank. The Current Bank
is all input channels that are currently visible in the main body of the Console window
(below the Meter Bridge) as shown in the illustration below. Sliding the gray Bank Bar
changes the Current Bank so the other inputs can be seen.
Note: The Bank Bar only appears when the Console window is too narrow to
display all input channels.
This feature is especially useful when the system is expanded with additional I/O by
connecting one or more Universal Audio Apollo interfaces. For complete details, see
Current Bank.
Conceptual illustration of the Current Bank. In this example, inputs Analog 2 and Virtual 1
are in the Current Bank, while Analog 1 and Virtual 2 are not visible.
Sliding the Bank Bar brings the other inputs into view.
