When it comes to designing Antelope Audio's technology, Igor's approach to his work is characterized by a willingness to take unusual, innovative approaches in order to achieve exceptional results. With each new design, Igor and his team strive to balance the clarity and fidelity of digital with the warmth and life of analog audio.
Antelope was the first to create an ultra-stable Rubidium Atomic Clock for the pro audio market, adapting a technology normally reserved for when extremely precise synchronization is paramount (i.e. GPS satellites and television broadcasting). The unique triple-sampling-rate Trinity Master Clock has become the backbone of hundreds of recording studios and post-production facilities around the world.
In 2013, a particularly ambitious Antelope Audio product would change the scope of the company, the Orion32 AD/DA converter/interface. Featuring 32 analog inputs and 32 analog outputs of premium-grade conversion packed into a 1U chassis for under $3000, there was nothing else on the market with a comparable combination of cost, quality, and capacity.
Even more unexpectedly, all of these available channels could be streamed down a standard USB 2.0 connection with very low latency, which was made possible by using a custom-built, high-speed USB controller chip within the interface itself.
The immediate success of the Orion32 led to the rapid development of more Antelope Audio interfaces, such as the Orion Studio (2015), Zen Tour (2016), and Goliath (2016).
Meanwhile, Antelope continued to further improve on the Orion32 itself, adding dedicated monitor outputs and Thunderbolt connectivity with the Orion32+ (2015) and bringing improved AD/DA conversion and direct Pro Tools HD compatibility to the Digilink-enabled Orion32 HD (2017), another breakthrough cost-per-channel product in its category. More on all of these interfaces in just one minute...
During this period, a new trend emerged in the audio interface market. DSP chips had been utilized for decades in computer add-in cards and Pro Tools systems in order to augment the audio processing power of CPUs, which were relatively weak by today’s standards and needed help.
Putting these chips inside audio interfaces achieved some unique benefits like real-time tracking with near-zero latency while monitoring with plugins. Regardless of a session’s buffer size setting, you were now able to overdub tracks while your computer was running a full session seamlessly.
Costs had begun to come down to a point that even amateur home recordists could enjoy the benefits of a DSP-powered recording system without needing an expensive and powerful tower computer loaded with processing cards.
To compensate for a relative lack of individual power per DSP chip, multiple DSP chips must be utilized. And although algorithmic approximations of analog circuitry have certainly come quite a long way since the very first digital “plug-ins,” was there really no alternative available?
To this end, the Antelope Audio team set forth to develop a hardware-based effects library for its own audio interfaces using a different type of chip - the Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Unlike the traditional DSP microprocessors, FPGAs consist of a programmable array of logic blocks, with their functionality defined and “wired together” using a Hardware Description Language (HDL) rather than a more widely-known computer code such as C/C++.
It’s a lot like designing a virtual circuit board onto a chip and therefore perfect for emulating the characteristics of real analog hardware! Processes are able to split up and take place in parallel on different places across the chip, just like electrons flowing through networks of wires, tubes, and transformers, with virtually no latency. Plus, when optimized correctly, a single FPGA chip could be made to run many instances of very high-quality audio processing.
So what happens when you bring together DSP and FPGA chips in an audio interface? Magic.
In 2019, Antelope Audio introduced the world to Synergy Core technology, which brought together the best of both worlds and put FPGA and DSP chips into the same interfaces. Just as DSP chips were originally used to augment the processing power of a computer’s CPU, Synergy Core uses multiple DSP chips to augment the power of its FPGA processors.
The FPGA acts as the conductor, assigning audio to and from the DSP chips as needed, where they are free to process audio in ways that would be tricky for the FPGA to handle on its own.
This creative engineering solution breaks open the barriers of what will be possible for the Antelope Audio Effects Library in the years to come. There are already 15 Synergy Core-powered plugins, including creative modulation-based effects like Flanger and Tremolo and third-party collaborations like Auto-Tune Synergy.
Let's take a look at the interfaces that make up Antelope Audio's Synergy Core lineup and learn what makes each one distinct in its own way.
The Galaxy 64 Synergy Core is a first for Antelope Audio, which marks the brand's entry into DANTE. This 2U rack space audio interface/converter features 64 channels of analog in and analog out via DANTE, Thunderbolt 3, AES/EBU, HDX, and MADI.
As with the previous options above, the Galaxy 64 includes both kinds of processors. This Synergy Core interface features 12 DSP and two FPGA chips, which can handle extremely large sessions. At the same time, an additional FPGA chip processes the routing matrix and audio conversion to keep things moving quickly.
Whether you are looking for a new interface solution in your studio, live venue, post-production facility, or any other audio hub, the Galaxy 64 Synergy offers the connectivity and conversion your work requires.
The latest addition to the Synergy Core series is the Galaxy 32, an interface that builds on the success of the Orion 32.
