Arrow Manual Unison 190
Unison Operation Notes
The operating notes in this section only apply to Unison functionality (when a Unison
plug-in is loaded in Console’s dedicated Unison insert).
These notes do NOT apply with Unison plug-ins that are used in Console’s standard
inserts, nor via VST/AU/RTAS/AAX64 plug-ins within a DAW, even when a Unison plug-in
title is used. In this scenario, Unison plug-ins function the same as all standard (non-
Unison) UAD plug-in titles and there is no physical or electrical hardware interaction.
Note: Unison functionality is available only when Unison-enabled UAD plug-ins
are loaded within Console in the dedicated Unison inserts.
• Caution: When a Console session is loaded (via Console Recall menu, DAW
sessions containing the Console Recall plug-in, or double-clicking Console files
on disk), ALL Console settings are overridden (changed) by the saved session,
including all Arrow hardware preamp settings such as +48V and PAD. See Loading
Sessions: Hardware settings are overridden for additional details.
• Unison insert processing is always recorded in the DAW (regardless of the current
Channel Insert Effects setting) because Unison plug-ins process the physical
inputs.
• When a channel strip preset is saved from a preamp channel, the channel strip
preset contains the state of the preamp channel’s Unison insert.
• When a preamp channel strip preset is loaded into a preamp channel, the Unison
insert state is replaced by the Unison instance state in the preamp channel strip
preset. For example, if the preamp channel strip preset’s Unison insert is empty,
the Unison insert will be empty after loading the channel strip preset.
• Arrow’s top panel preamp controls are always current. Therefore, changes made to
a Unison plug-in when the plug-in is bypassed are not retained when the plug-in
is reactivated.
• A Unison plug-in’s modeled behaviors and parameter ranges are used by the
hardware controls whenever possible, even if the attribute is different than Arrow’s
stock preamps. For example, if the Unison plug-in has a 15 dB pad, then Arrow’s
top panel PAD button value will use the Unison plug-in’s 15 dB value instead of
Arrow’s stock 20 dB value.
• Default gain levels when a Unison plug-in is inserted can vary from Arrow’s default
(non-Unison) preamp levels, and also between various Unison plug-in titles. This
is a by-product of accurate preamp modeling. Because hardware preamp designs
from each manufacturer vary, they all have different total gain amounts, control
ranges, and control response curves, whether Mic, Line, or Hi-Z.
• If a Unison plug-in does not contain settings that are available on Arrow (pad,
low cut filter, etc), the Arrow settings are not changed when the Unison plug-in
settings are loaded, and the Arrow settings are still available for control via Arrow’s
top panel and/or Console channel.
