Hardware Control for Your Apogee Interface
There’s no denying the sheer power afforded by digital software control. But let’s face it, sometimes a mouse and keyboard just don’t cut it. For those eyeing a more physical connection to their production workflow, there’s the Apogee Control, a convenient desktop device providing remote control over any parameter within Apogee’s Control 2 software. This device sports eight assignable buttons and a big control knob that provide a pleasingly tactile feel when adjusting your audio interface’s parameters. And if eight buttons aren’t enough for your workflow, Sweetwater users report the ability to save several configurations as presets — you can even integrate up to four Control devices simultaneously, all with their own independent preset arrangements. What functions can the Control cover? From selecting studio monitors to adjusting analog inputs/outputs to engaging talkback on compatible Apogee interfaces, the Control grants mouse-free adjustment over scores of settings. Moreover, the Control connects directly to your Mac via a single USB cable and is compatible with a wide variety of modern and legacy Apogee interfaces.
