Antelope - Orion Studio Synergy Core

The FX Processing BeastThe Antelop Orion Studio offers recently pioneered Synergy Core FX processing platform to its next stage of evolution. Two proprietary Field Programmable Gate Aray (FPGA) chips and a whopping six ARM-based DSP processors come built-in, contributing to its immense computing power! 6x DSP + 2x FPGA chips allow the Orion Studio Synergy Core to handle up to 128 effects instances simultaneously in real time with all processing done completely inside the interface.
Adding more value to your investment, the Оrion Studio Synergy Core features a compelling library of 50 real-time studio effects, carefully designed after their hardware originals. Everything happens inside your audio interface with the lowest latency possible thanks to FPGA’s massive parallel computing capabilities, DSP processing, and fast Thunderbolt™ connectivity. The library can be expanded to include any effects you choose from the Antelope web store.
Amazing Features
• Synergy Core FX free up CPU to improve system stability, letting you reduce buffer size to record & monitor with minimal latency
• 2x FPGA units handle all audio mixing, dynamics processing, equalization and reverb with effects modeling legendary studio gear
• 6x ARM-based DSPs bring a wider variety of creative effects to an efficient, low-latency platform
• No latency stacking when chaining multiple effects
Real-Time Live Monitoring

Auto-Tune SynergyMade from the ground-up for the Synergy Core platform, Auto-Tune Synergy brings live pitch correction to the Antelope Audio experience. Auto-Tune has been the industry standard for professional pitch correction for over twenty years and remains as one of the most iconic vocal effects in popular music.
Auto-Tune Synergy brings Antares’ renowned technology to the Antelope Audio Synergy Core platform for low-latency, CPU-free performance and diverse recording options.
Thunderbolt 3 Certified & USB Compatible

The Best In ConnectivityThunderbolt 3 is the quickest and most versatile data connection available. Orion Studio Synergy Core went through a complex certification process to ensure operating system compatibility and stability.
If you're not up to speed with Thunderbolt 3, the interface is backwards-compatible with Thunderbolt 2, the USB 2.0 port also remains intact, so the Orion Studio Synergy Core works with any DAW, on any modern Windows or macOS computer.
Forget Latency

12 Discrete PreampsRecord and monitor with maxed-out effects chains at high sample rates and low buffer sizes without taxing your CPU! You can experience Latency-Free Direct Monitoring over 4 independent internal mixers with 32 assignable inputs and stereo outputs.
After a long, hard look into iconic microphone preamp circuitry, the discrete transistor pres are the result of the finest audio engineering practices while sounding incredible. They also bring out the best in our Edge & Verge modeling condenser microphones, for vocal and instrument recording that truly keeps up with the times.
Any Audio Anywhere

Total ControlThe Software Control Panel is the “mediator” between the Orion Studio Synergy Core and your DAW. Make gain adjustments, signal routing, effects processing, mixing and metering all from one window.
Then send the audio into your DAW for recording in formats of your choice, such as multi-track, stem, and two-channel stereo. If you dont use a DAW, you can route any audio to any output and take it to the recording medium of your choice.
Mic Modeling Ready

Accusonic 3D ModelingThe Orion Studio Synergy Core’s Accusonic 3D modeling engine allows you to transform the Antelope Audio Edge and Verge modeling microphones into high-class vintage replicas.
Enhance the final sound with complete control over proximity effect and change polar patterns during or after recording. Select from a variety of classic and rare microphones as you monitor and record live, capturing the full potential of the musician’s performance.
Immense Analog & Digital Flexibility

Comprehensive I/OOrion Studio Synergy Core can handle any take no matter how big or small. Record high-impedance instruments, such as the electric guitar, viia four Hi-Z inputs and reamp DI tracks through the purpose ReAmp outputs. Use up to 16 line outputs on DB25 connectors, handle digital audio via S/PDIF and ADAT. Freely route all incoming and outgoing audio from an easy to use software Routing Matrix. Then hear the result from two pairs of headphones or studio monitors, all simultaneously, if you desire.
Industry-Leading ClockingThe pioneer of atomic clocking in pro audio, Antelope Audio uses 20+ years of expertise in its audio interfaces. Theirproprietary 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking jitter management algorithm assists in delivering the kind of artifact-free audio usually found in only the most prestigious studios. Along with this, with the Word Clock outputs, you can distribute this highly stable clock signal across the rest of your digital gear to have everything running in smooth sync.
