The included effects bundle ranges from Antelope's emulations of classics like the UREI 1176 compressor and Neve and Pultec EQs to a wealth of guitar amp simulators (11 amp sims are included).

However, after a few deeper dives into the manual and a YouTube safari, I was good to go and able to set up zero-latency cue mixes as well as route DSP effects to said mixes.

Still, to take full advantage of the hardware, the Control Panel is a must even if just to set up your baseline mixer preset – and here was where I stumbled a bit at first, not being familiar with the unique approach and UX of the Antelope software. The three physical buttons combined with the large encoder and touchscreen (all on the top panel) can be used to operate the unit in standalone mode without having to rely on the software. That same darker palette and utilitarian feel are present in the companion software Control Panel, which acts as a virtual "infinite patchbay" and allows you to route the Synergy Core FX and the varied and sundry I/O.
The Antelope hardware has an industrial, almost militaristic case design all grey-on-black brushed aluminum and hex bolts – it's tough looking! There are 36 effects bundled with the unit, and Antelope states that it has an "ever-expanding library of Synergy Core DSP/FPGA effects" available, should users wish to expand their own collection.
Similar to the UA box, the Antelope comes with proprietary DSP-based effects that can be added to the input routing with little to no impact on latency. Speaking of similar desktop boxes, the Zen Tour Synergy Core is a tiny bit larger than the Universal Audio Apollo x4 hardware. Available for both Mac and Windows platforms, the Zen Tour Synergy Core has some unique interface elements, such as the dual dedicated re-amp outputs, the 7 x 5.5-centimeter capacitive touchscreen, and DB-25 connectivity for the line outputs – all details that potentially set this little tank apart from desktop interfaces at similar price points. The Zen Tour Synergy Core system is an 18 x 24 (eight analog in and 14 analog out), quad DSP-enabled Thunderbolt 3/USB 2.0 recording interface with a wealth of I/O and a spec sheet that rivals or surpasses other comparable desktop boxes in the current market.
