Antelope Orion Studio Synergy Core: FX processing at the highest level

Orion Studio Synergy Core is one of the most powerful professional audio interfaces ever made, with 6 ARM-based DSP processors and 2 proprietary FPGAs for real-time effects management. It enables up to 256 simultaneous FX instances, completely freeing up the computer's CPU for a smooth and uncompromising workflow.

Latency-free performance and full compatibility

With dual Thunderbolt™ 3 and USB 2.0 connectivity, it is compatible with all major DAW systems on Windows and macOS. The 12 discrete preamps offer transparent and detailed sound, while the Direct-In feature allows direct recording into AD converters with mastering quality. Latency is virtually absent, even with complex FX chains.

Auto-Tune Synergy and classic hardware models

Included is the Synergy version of Auto-Tune, optimized for live performance and recording. The interface includes a library of 50 effects inspired by legendary gear, and can be expanded via the Antelope store. The AFX2DAW system allows FX to be used directly in the DAW as insert plugins.

Advanced routing, high-end AD/DA and premium construction

The software routing matrix, four internal mixers and intuitive interface provide total control. AD/DA converters achieve up to 130 dB of dynamic range. Built in Europe from machined aluminum, the Orion Studio Synergy Core also offers CV/Gate support, Word Clock I/O, 16 line out on DB25, ReAmp, Insert, A/B monitor and dual headphone outputs.
