Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Console Settings 143
Cue Bus Count
The number of active cue mix buses is changed with this setting. Increasing the Cue Bus
Count increases the number of cue mix buses (and associated cue sends and returns)
available within Console and the DAW.
Between two and four cue buses can be set. The default value is two with Apollo and
four with Apollo 16. This setting is unavailable with Apollo Twin, which always features
two cue mix buses (HP and Line 3/4).
Note: Cue buses 3 and 4 are unavailable at sample rates of 176.4 kHz
and 192 kHz.
ALT Count
This setting determines the number of ALT (alternate) monitor outputs that are available
within Console. Between zero and two ALT outputs can be set (one maximum with Apollo
Twin). The default value is zero.
For an overview of this feature, see the ALT Monitoring Overview.
Important: Increasing the ALT count overrides any other assignments using Line
outputs 1, 2 (ALT count of 1) and Line outputs 1, 2, 3, 4 (ALT count of 2)
FCN Switch Assign (Apollo 8, Apollo 8p)
Apollo 8 and Apollo 8p feature an assignable function (FCN) switch on the hardware
front panel that can be configured to control one of three monitoring functions.
The function of the switch is configured with this menu. The available functions are:
ALT 2 – Selects the Alternate 2 monitor speakers. The monitor signals are routed to
outputs 3 & 4 instead of the main monitor outputs, and the monitor level indicator ring
is yellow instead of green when ALT 2 is active.
MONO – Sums the left and right channels of the stereo monitor mix into a monophonic
signal. The monitor level indicator ring flashes when MONO is active.
DIM – Attenuates the signal level at the monitor outputs by the dB amount set in
Console’s Control Room strip. The monitor level indicator ring flashes when DIM is active.
NONE – The FCN switch is unassigned.
Note: When more than one Apollo interface is connected in a multi-unit
configuration, the FCN switch is operable on the designated monitor unit only.
