The ANTELOPE Zen Tour Synergy Core TB3 & USB Interface is the successor of Antelope's Zen Tour and gets a completely redesigned inner workings with first-class converters and the innovative microphone simulation technology. The Core TB3 & USB Audio Interface also features the familiar, yet again improved DSP, which can now host up to 256 effects simultaneously at near-zero latency. The 4 microphone inputs are equipped with discrete preamps and in combination with the DSP, Antelope's modeling microphones and the improved converters, enable professional recordings or the creation of high-quality demos in the rehearsal room or home studio from.
Given its lush 4 guitar input configuration, the Zen Tour Synergy Core USB interface is perfect for working in the rehearsal room and can also be used during rehearsal via an in-ear system due to its low latency and wide range of guitar amps and cabinets. Its 8 analog outputs allow, in addition to a classic use as line outs e.g. to the headphone amplifier, also the control of analog synthesizers. This product feature is unique so far and saves the user the purchase of a separate MIDI CV/Gate converter.
Effects included in the Synergy Core FX Starter Pack:
I run the usb 2 on both mac and pc and it is very smooth. If you don’t know much about routing signals beware that this product is made for pros who understand the simple routing of the studio but don’t worry it could be a great learning tools if you have no experience. Pre amps are out of this world and the fx plug-ins sounding incredible. Reading negative comments on the net was kind of putting me down but I made my decision and well happy with it. I recorded a band on the second day of receiving this and it sounds expensive! Best thing happened to my studio!
