XX). UAD Powered Plug-Ins in the DAW Apollo Twin and UAD Powered Plug-Ins can also be used within a DAW without the use of Console. UAD plug-ins loaded within the DAW operate like other (non-UAD) plug-ins, except the processing occurs on the Apollo Twin DSP instead of the host computer’s processor. In this scenario, UAD plug-ins are subject to the latencies incurred by I/O buffering. -
Page 11: Standalone Use
Standalone Use Although the Console application is required to utilize all Apollo Twin features, the hard- ware unit can be used as a digital mixer with limited functionality without a Thunderbolt connection to a host computer. All currently active I/O assignments, signal routings, and monitor settings are saved to in- ternal firmware when Apollo Twin is powered down and persist when power is re-applied. -
