NAMM 2015Universal Audio Introduces New Apollo Expanded Software For 2015 (+UAD Software v8.0)

-
Universal Audio


Universal Audio has announced Apollo Expanded software, coming exclusively for Apollo audio interfaces as part of UAD Software v8.0, to be released in March 2015.

With Apollo Expanded, users of Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo Twin, Apollo Duo, Apollo QUAD, and Apollo 16 audio interfaces can freely combine up to four Apollos and six total UAD-2 devices — adding I/O and DSP as their studio grows.

Apollo Expanded also marks the introduction of Console 2.0 software, giving Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo users dynamic new workflow options, with more than 25 new user-requested features.

Apollo Expanded — Key Features:

  • "Mix and Match" up to four Apollos (any model) over Thunderbolt (Mac).
  • Simple Thunderbolt cable connection between units.
  • Combine up to six UAD-2 devices per system.
  • New Flex Driver lets users customize Core Audio I/O — name, save, and share presets for different hardware setups and DAWs.
  • Star clocking over Thunderbolt distributes high-quality clock to all Apollos.
  • Add an Apollo Twin for desktop monitor control as well as additional DSP and connectivity.

Console 2.0 Software — Key Features:

  • New high-resolution / Retina-compatible 64-bit software interface for Thunderbolt-equipped Apollos.
  • Channel Strip presets lets users see, save, and recall UAD plug-in chains.
  • Numerous monitoring improvements including Alternate Monitors, new Control Room functions, and enhanced headphone cue management.
  • New UAD plug-in categories and individual Show/Hide functionality.
  • Enhanced plug-in features such as preset auditioning and drag & drop functionality.
  • Per-input Record/Monitor effect switching.
  • Multi-level Undo and Redo for plug-in assignments and parameters.

Apollo Expanded is part of upcoming UAD Software v8.0, which, in addition to Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite compatibility, also adds all-new plug-in categories to the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform. Following are the new UAD v8.0 plug-ins:
