At any time, you can expand your collection by purchasing more analog modeled effects such as Liverpool from Grove Hill, and third-party effects like Auto-Tune from Antares.
Seamless integration
The 1U enclosure fits perfectly into audio installations that need to transfer audio over long distances or are simply short on rack space. The versatile interface merges multiple devices into one by combining a converter, digital patch bay, Dante system and MADI, HDX and Thunderbolt 3 interface.
External preamps and various signals can be managed outside or within the interface via the eight D-Sub 25 connectors and digital expansion is available via optical MADI, ADAT and S/PDIF ports.
Great sessions and efficient workflow
Input and output channels are no longer a scarce resource with the Galaxy 32 Synergy Core. Unlike modular systems, all I/O is available at all times and can be used simultaneously without the need to change configurations, making it easy to work across multiple sessions. Thanks to Antelope Audio's unique FPGA programming, your HD or HDX rig can now process 64 I/O channels in Pro Tools, even at 192kHz.
Features that make recording easier
The Galaxy 32 Synergy Core's digital routing is an entire virtual patch bay that will help you quickly dispatch all the channels coming in and out of the interface. For maximum ease, simple drag-and-drop functionality and color-coded labeling help you save time during the setup process. Aside from intuitive routing, the software control panel lets you run DAW playback channels through effects, create presets, quickly set up mixes and more.
