I owned an Apollo previously and the way it worked then, is there was a button for the preamp, Speakers, Headphones, Phantom power, etc. You would press the preamp button once for say preamp 1, or twice for preamp 2 etc, then turn the single big knob on the unit to adjust preamp gain. Also which ever preamp was selected, you could now press phantom power to turn phantom power on/off to that preamp. Or the line /instrument button to switch that input from line to instrument level. Same with the headphones or speaker button, press either of those buttons and then the big knob on the unit is controlling the volume. Of course there will be lights or similar indicator on the unit to signify what was selected but of course that wouldn’t help a blind person. Someone did an add on for the UAD console software that lets you use a MIDI Controller or Control surface to navigate. As Lucky also pointed out someone else is working on another add on that doesn’t require any additional hardware, but you can jump on the logic band discord server or ask in one of the wats app groups as he maybe hanging out there too. UAD plug ins, are usable in the DAW, but the uAD console for controlling the interface and using the unison stuff isn’t without one of the aforementioned add ons. Personally though, modern computers are fast enough and modern interfaces are low latency enough that I feel the UAD option are a lot of hoops to jump through for not a lot of benefits. Especially considering some of the accessible options we have for audio interfaces now where the control software is accessible. -T.O.M Grab your free “Getting Started With Logic Course at https://logic.band/mailing-list// Join The Band!
