Apollo Solo Manual Console Reference 117
Stereo Link
Adjacent channels (analog 1+2, virtual 1+2) can be linked to create a stereo
input pair. When linked as a stereo pair, any control adjustments will affect
both channels of the stereo signal identically.
Note: Only the same type of inputs can be linked (Mic+Mic or
Line+Line), and the Hi-Z inputs cannot be linked.
Activation
Stereo pairs are created by activating LINK within the
Rename/Link Popover. LINK performs the exact same
function pressing the LINK button on Apollo Solo’s top
panel when the hardware is in PREAMP mode.
Tip: Option-click the LINK button to stereo link all
channels.
When Link is activated:
• The LINK switch is lit instead of gray
• One set of controls is available for the stereo
channel (except pan, as noted below)
• All current control settings of the left channel are
copied to the right channel (except pan, as noted
below)
• All inserted plug-ins in the left channel are
converted to stereo (parameter values are retained)
• Pan changes to dual (left/right) pan
• The send pan knobs are hidden (pans are forced to
hard left/right with stereo sends)
• The input level meter changes to a stereo meter
• Custom input labels revert to default input labels
Deactivation
A stereo pair is separated back into individual channels by
clicking the LINK switch when it is active (the LINK switch
is gray when deactivated). When LINK is deactivated, all current control settings and
inserted plug-ins for the stereo channel remain on the first channel (except pan, which is
centered) and the second channel reverts to a default state.
Link Constraints
• Only the same input jacks can be linked (for example, a Mic input cannot be linked to
a Line input).
• The Hi-Z inputs cannot be linked.
