Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Console Settings 152
I/O Presets Functions
The following I/O preset functions are available:
Open – Opens the operating system’s standard “Open File” dialog for loading existing I/O
preset files from disk.
Save – Saves the current modified I/O preset file in place. If the preset was not previously
saved (if the file doesn’t exist), the Save window appears so it can be named.
Save As – Opens the Save window so the current settings can be named and saved to
disk as a new I/O preset file.
Load – Loads the I/O preset that is currently selected within the I/O Presets window (a
preset is selected when highlighted in blue).
Tip: An I/O preset can also be loaded by double-clicking the preset or typing
Return (or Enter) when the preset is selected.
Channel Count Menus
The Channel Count menus (one each for number of inputs and number
of outputs) are used to change the number of Apollo I/O channels used
by Core Audio / ASIO.
By default, the total number of available input and output channels, for
all detected Apollo devices, are displayed.
The primary reason to change the channel counts is to accommodate
the 32 I/O channels available within Pro Tools. When 32 channels
are selected for Apollo I/O (PT Mode), any Apollo I/O can still be used
by virtually remapping the I/O so the desired channels fit within the
available channel count.
Important: These menus change the driver I/O complement. Quit all
DAW applications before changing the Channel Count settings.
# Inputs – The number of active Apollo input channels used by Core Audio / ASIO is
displayed here. Click the display to select a different input channel count from the
menu.
# Outputs – The number of active Apollo output channels used by Core Audio / ASIO
is displayed here. Click the display to select a different output channel count from the
menu.
Note: Each Core Audio / ASIO stream uses host computer CPU resources. To
maximize CPU performance, do not set the channel counts higher than the
number of channels actually needed.
Device Name Display
The Device Name of the Apollo device is displayed in the INPUT and OUTPUT columns
so each Apollo unit can be readily identified in multi-unit setups. Each device is color-
coded for easier identification.
