Controlling Unison Plug-Ins With Arrow - Universal Audio Arrow Manual

Controlling Unison Plug-Ins with Arrow

When a Unison plug-in is inserted in Console's Unison insert, Arrow's top panel preamp
controls and the Unison plug-in's equivalent preamp controls are mirrored. Adjusting
Arrow's top panel preamp controls adjusts the Unison plug-in's preamp controls, and vice
versa.
Plug-In Parameters
Unison plug-ins may contain parameters that are unavailable for hardware control via
Arrow. For example, the UA 610-B has EQ settings, but there are no EQ controls on
Arrow's hardware. To adjust these extra parameters, the Unison plug-in interface must be
used.
Arrow Top Panel Indication
Unison Active
When a Unison plug-in is inserted in a Console Unison insert and Arrow's top panel
channel select function is set to the same channel, the color of Arrow's top panel level
indicator (the LED ring around the knob) is orange instead of green.
Note: Arrow's top panel must be in PREAMP mode and the channel selection
indicator must match the Unison-enabled channel to see the top panel Unison
indication.
The orange-colored ring indicates that the currently selected preamp channel is using
a Unison plug-in within Console, and that Arrow's top panel knob is controlling the first
gain stage of the preamp plug-in (with pedal plug-ins, the knob is controlling the primary
effect parameter, e.g., distortion).

Additional Gain Stages
More than one gain parameter within the Unison plug-in can be adjusted using Arrow's
top panel knob by activating Gain Stage Mode. When Gain Stage Mode is active, the
color of Arrow's top panel level indicator, and the target parameter within the Unison
plug-in's interface, changes depending on which parameter is currently being controlled
by the knob, and the parameter being controlled can be navigated remotely by pushing
the knob's switch. See
Arrow Manual
