Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Unison 168
Unison Features
Unison technology enables these Apollo features, all with Realtime UAD Processing:
• Alternate microphone preamplifier sound – Apollo’s ultra-transparent mic preamps
inherit all the unique sonic and input characteristics of the emulated hardware
preamp, guitar amp, or pedal, including the mic, line, and Hi-Z inputs.
• Realistic tandem control – Unison facilitates seamless interactive control of
Unison preamp plug-in settings using Apollo’s digitally-controlled hardware and/
or the plug-in interface. All equivalent preamp controls (gain, pad, polarity, etc)
are mirrored and bidirectional. The preamp controls respond to adjustments with
precisely the same interplay behavior as the emulated hardware, including gain
levels and clipping points.
• Hardware input impedance – All Apollo mic preamps feature variable input
impedance in analog hardware that can be physically switched by Unison plug-
ins for physical, microphone-to-preamp resistive interaction. This impedance
switching enables Apollo’s preamps to physically match the emulated unit’s input
impedance, which can significantly impact the sound of a microphone. Because
the electrical loading occurs on input, prior to A/D conversion, the realism is
faithful to the original target hardware preamp.
• Tactile gain staging – Apollo’s front panel preamp knob can independently adjust
all gain and level parameters available within the Unison plug-in via Gain Stage
Mode. The gain stage being adjusted can be remotely switched via Apollo, so
multiple gain levels and their associated colorations can be tuned from the
hardware knob for precise physical tactile control, all without using the Unison
plug-in’s software interface.
Unison Plug-Ins
Note: In all descriptive text, “Unison plug-in” is defined as any Unison-enabled
UAD mic preamplifier, UAD guitar amplifier, or UAD pedal plug-in.
Unison-enabled UAD plug-ins are uniquely coded for Unison integration. Only UAD
plug-ins that are Unison-enabled can be loaded in Console’s Unison Insert Location. The
available Unison plug-ins are listed in the table below.
