Realtime Effects
Realtime effects are processed directly by the FPGA or DSP chip inside your Antelope Audio interface. These effects can only be used within your interface’s control panel and cannot be loaded as plugins in your DAW. While there are workarounds to use realtime effects in your DAW, their primary purpose is to enhance your recording process by providing low-latency monitoring and processing.
Native Effects (Synergy Core Native)
Synergy Core Native plugins are designed to be loaded directly into your DAW. These are membership-based and such can be activated through our website. Unlike realtime effects, you do not need to own Antelope Audio hardware to use Synergy Core Native plugins.
