Apollo: Cinematic Guitars includes five main categories: Swells, Pads,
Ambient Designer, Phrase Builder, and Instruments. Each category
showcases unique features for simplified sound design allowing the user to
create the exact guitar-based sound they need. The following is a Quick
Start guide for basic introduction:
Blue = OFF, Yellow = ON, White = Selected
SWELLS provide the user with their choice of well over a hundred unique
patches, each with various options of triggering chromatically sampled
notes, major chords (high and low iterations, and minor chords (high and
low iterations). Transition between chords and notes by clicking the yellow
tab above the Swell Speed knob. Some patches only include notes, this is
indicated by the patch loading with a smaller range of notes mapped on the
Kontakt keyboard.
The PADS patch includes two pad engines for easy sound design. Click the
tab above each engine to load a pad from a desired folder. Click the left and
right arrows to cycle through pads in chosen folder. Select MOD to engage
LFO. ENV is engaged by default, with preset ADSR settings. Click M or S to
mute or solo pad. By default, Pan is selected. Turning the knob will change
the pan settings of the specific pad. Clicking the Pan text will switch the
control to TUNE, which changes the function of the knob to affect the tune
settings of the specific pad. Click the EDIT button to reveal MOD and ENV
controls. Clicking BACK will bring back the main Pads control interface
setting. Additionally, open the Preset Patches folder in the Apollo library for
access to plug and play pads.
