Apogee announces the availability of a new software update for their Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt audio interface.
The release offers new features for users, including standalone AD/DA functionality, multi-unit support, compatibility with Apogee Control hardware remote, and an all new Symphony Control software for Mac.
Symphony Control has been built from the ground up and replaces Apogee’s Maestro software for Symphony I/O Mk II users. Symphony Control delivers all the functionality of Maestro in a new, highly customizable user interface along with innovative new features like talkback functionality, the simplified “essentials” control window and an FX send mixer feature, recently introduced as part of the Element Control software.
Standalone routing lets you setup and use Symphony I/O Mk II without a computer. From the front panel touch screen you can set up Symphony I/O Mk II to use Apogee’s flagship AD/DA conversion with your Windows DAW workstation, digital console or even your Hi-Fi system. With Symphony I/O Mk II in standalone mode connected digitally to any of these systems, you can choose to bypass the AD/DA converters of your existing gear and utilize Apogee’s instead.
Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt customers can now use 2 units simultaneously for up to 64 channels of I/O over a Thunderbolt connection to their Mac. Symphony I/O Mk II combined with Logic Pro on a Mac delivers high-channel count recording at low latency.
The latest software update provides compatibility between Symphony I/O Mk II audio interfaces and the Apogee Control hardware remote accessory. Apogee Control gives you instant access to input and output levels using the large Symphony-inspired control knob and 3 control knob focus buttons, plus direct access to a wide range of software functions using the 8 user-configurable hardware buttons.
Apogee Control hardware remote connects directly to your Mac using the included USB cable and is now available from authorized Apogee dealers worldwide for $195 USD.
