WARNING!
If you use this interface with USB, you will not have 32 but 24 channels available. To reach its full capacity, you'll need to connect it to Thunderbolt 3.
The Thunderbolt 3 port connector is the same as USB-C, but the protocol is incompatible.
If your computer's USB-C port is topped by a lightning bolt, as on all very recent Apple computers, you can use the Orion Studio Synergy Core in Thunderbolt. Otherwise, you'll be using USB 2.0.
