Now included as part of the free update for Orion Studio users is new control panel software with DSP-based, no latency amp and mic modeling plug-ins. Included are three interchangeble guitar amps and guitar cabinets, four microphones, and two vintage EQ emulations.

Amps such as "Darkface 65", "Top 30" and "Modern" (with three voicings) can be combined with cabinet options such as 2 x 12" or 4 x 12". A pair of dynamic, ribbon, or condenser mics can also be combined with any of the amp cabinets resulting in phenomenally responsive, rich, full and authentic amp tones that have to be heard to be believed.

Also included are a pair of EQ's modeled after vintage Pultec style EQs. The "EQP-1A" features simultaneous band boost and cut while the MEQ5 offers dual-peaks and dip filtering for mid-range shaping.

Extensive Flexibility and Productivity
With 32 channels via ThunderboltTM and 24 on USB, Orion Studio allows for fast and ultra-low latency connection either with Mac or PC, and therefore with any DAW in your home or commercial studio. The variety of digital and analog I/O together with the flexible routing matrix provide amazing functionality and easy interconnection among various outboard gear. Orion Studio offers two pairs of monitoring outputs, 16 analog outs, 2 reamp outputs, as well as 16 channels I/O via ADAT and 2 channels I/O via S/PDIF.

Convenient Software Control
Orion Studio is fully controllable using a user-friendly desktop application with color-coded signal routing. The applet is compatible with both Windows and OS X. Utilizing the control panel, the engineer can create up to four independent, zero-latency mixes assignable to any outputs, including the two independent headphone outputs and the two pairs of monitor outputs. In addition to the extreme flexibility the control panel provides the handy option of storing up to 5 presets for fast recall of the most common recording or mixing scenarios.

Custom DSP Effects and Zero Latency Monitoring
Orion Studio uses Antelope’s battle-tested DSP, based on a custom FPGA with massive parallel processing capabilities. Orion Studio’s DSP chip is eight times more powerful than the ones in similar devices due to the proprietary FPGA. This allows fast and easy simultaneous processing of multiple effects such as EQ, compressor and reverb, enhancing the workflow like no other device on the market. The instant application of the effects to the various mixers provides zero-latency monitoring of the processed signal both to the producer and the artists.
