Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Unison 169
Activating Unison
Unison is activated by inserting any Unison-enabled plug-in into the special
Unison insert available on all mic preamp channels. Click the UNISON
insert to select a Unison-enabled plug-in from the Insert Assign popover
window.
Tip: Unison can be active on more than one preamp channel
concurrently.
Unison Insert Location
The Unison insert is located between the preamp gain knob and the
standard channel inserts. The text “UNISON +” is overlaid on this insert.
Note: To see the Unison insert, choose OVERVIEW or INPUT from the
View Column.
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
(Console 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
interaction 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 plug-ins
are loaded within Console in the dedicated Unison inserts.
