Apollo Software Manual Chapter 8: Unison 146

Activating Unison

Unison is activated by inserting any Unison-enabled plug-in into the special

Unison insert available on all mic preamp channels.

Tip: Unison can be active on more than one preamp channel concur-

rently.

Unison Insert Location

The Unison insert is located between the preamp gain knob and the stan-

dard channel inserts.

Unison Availability

Unison inserts are available on Apollo devices that feature mic preamps:

Apollo, Apollo 8 – Preamp input channels 1 – 4

Apollo 8p – Preamp input channels 1 – 8

Apollo Twin – Preamp input channels 1 & 2

Apollo 16 – Unison is unavailable (Apollo 16 does not feature preamps)

Unison Processing

Important: Unison processing in Console’s Unison insert is always active on the

channel’s input signal, regardless of any subsequent channel routing options (Con-

sole Flex Routing, DAW I/O, etc). Therefore Unison processing is always recorded

in the DAW, even if Console’s Insert Effects switches are set to MON.

Unison plug-ins in channel inserts

UAD plug-ins that support Unison can also be loaded and used in any standard inserts

available on all Console input channels and/or within a DAW via VST/AU/RTAS/AAX 64

(as with any UAD plug-in). However, there is no physical or electrical hardware interac-

tion with channel inserts, so Unison plug-ins operate like other (non-Unison) UAD plug-

ins in this conﬁguration.

Important: Unison features are available only when Unison-enabled UAD preamp

or pedal plug-ins are loaded within Console in the dedicated Unison inserts.
