FAQ
What is Synergy Core Realtime?
Synergy Core Realtime is our onboard effects processing platform, featuring our real-time effects, loaded into the hardware and accessed via the interface’s software control panel. The real-time effects work with near-zero latency and are fully processed by the hardware’s DSP and FPGA processors.
What is Synergy Core Native?
Synergy Core Native is the standalone native plugin collection based on the hardware’s effects collection that is completely independent of the audio interface. It runs on AU, VST3, and AAX plugin formats and is protected with PACE iLok (USB Dongle & Cloud).
What’s the difference in use between Synergy Core Realtime & Native?
You can use the Synergy Core Native plugins with any audio interface and DAW, whereas the real-time effects come pre-installed on your hardware and work only with this hardware.
How can I know which effect is working in real-time and which works in native?
All effects that can be opened within the software control panel of your interface are processed by your interface and thus run in real-time. Conversely, all Antelope Audio plugins that can be opened via your DAW work as native and can be used with any interface.
Are there different effects supported on both platforms?
Yes, there are. Each collection has its own set of unique effects. For a full list of supported FX on each platform, please visit:
