Console Functions

Console enables the following functionality when used with Arrow:
• Hardware control. All of Arrow's front panel hardware controls (except headphone
volume) can be software controlled using Console, facilitating easy hardware
manipulation even if Arrow is placed out of reach of the computer operator.
• Low-latency monitoring. Using Console eliminates the latency associated with DAW
I/O buffering that makes monitoring problematic for the performer. By removing
the DAW's software input monitoring feature from the monitoring signal flow
altogether, the need to adjust I/O buffer sizes and latency is no longer an issue.
• Realtime UAD Processing. UAD Powered Plug-Ins can be inserted into all Console
inputs and/or auxiliary returns (within available DSP resources), for the ultimate
latency-free sonic experience while monitoring and/or tracking live performance.
All processed (or unprocessed) inputs and stereo mix buses, including the
monitor, auxiliary, and headphone buses, can be optionally routed into the DAW
for recording.
• Unison. Arrow's Unison
after tube and solid state mic preamps, guitar amps, and pedals — including their
all-important impedance, gain stage "sweet spots," and component-level circuit
behaviors.
• Send/Return auxiliary buses. Console has two stereo aux buses, with independent
send levels per input, for grouped signal processing (conserving UAD DSP
resources) or routing to the DAW.
• Flexible cue monitor mixing. A separate stereo headphone cue mix bus is available
with per-input sends to ensure performers are able to hear "more me" if desired.
• Session management. Complete Console configurations can be saved and loaded
to/from disk as presets, for convenient and unlimited session management.
Console sessions can also be stored/recalled within the DAW project using the
Console Recall plug-in.

Global Functions

Parameters within Console Settings
• Hardware. Global interface settings such as sample rate and reference levels.
• Software. Global software settings for Console such as metering and plug-in
window behaviors.
• I/O Matrix. This powerful feature enables customized signal routing and I/O
naming at the Core Audio (Mac) and ASIO (Windows) driver level. Custom driver
routing tables can be saved and recalled as presets.
