How do I connect and configure MIDI devices with the Apollo x16 Heritage Edition?
Connect your MIDI devices to your computer via USB or a dedicated MIDI interface. In your DAW, select the Apollo x16 as your audio interface and enable its MIDI input/output ports in the DAW's MIDI device settings to route MIDI data through the Apollo to your computer.
Can I save custom channel strip presets, including UAD plugin settings, and how do I manage them in the Apollo x16's Console software?
Yes, you can save custom channel strip presets directly within the Console application by clicking the preset dropdown menu at the top of each channel strip and selecting 'Save As...'. Presets can then be recalled, organized into folders, and shared within the Console's preset management system.

Connect your audio sources to the Apollo x16's inputs, set input gains using the front panel or Console software, assign inputs to tracks in your DAW, arm the tracks for recording, and monitor through the Apollo's headphone outputs or connected studio monitors using the Console for near-zero latency monitoring with UAD plugins.
My Apollo x16 is not being recognized by my computer. What are some troubleshooting steps I can take?
First, ensure the Thunderbolt cable is securely connected to both the Apollo and your computer, and that the Apollo is powered on. Then, verify that the UAD software and drivers are up to date and that the Apollo is selected as the audio interface in your computer's sound settings and your DAW.
