THUNDERBOLT™ 3 FUNCTIONALITY The Zen Tour Synergy Core’s Thunderbolt™ 3 connection enables the following functionality: Daisy Chaining Thunderbolt™ 3 can “daisy chain” devices. Daisy chaining means that one device can plug into the end of a chain of devices, one after the other. A basic example would be connecting the Zen Tour Synergy Core to an external hard drive with two Thunderbolt™ 3 ports.
Device Charging While the Zen Tour Synergy Core cannot be bus-powered, it is able to power any Type-C device from the Thunderbolt™ 3 port. For example, you can power a laptop (e.g. 2016 MacBook Pro or later). Backwards Compatibility Thunderbolt™ 3 is backwards-compatible with legacy Thunderbolt™ 2 and Thunderbolt™ 1 connections through the use of a third-party TB 3 to Legacy TB adapter and corresponding cables.

Quick Start Let’s begin with some quick examples of essential tasks being accomplished in the Control Panel. Note: These examples do not convey the "correct" or "only" way of accomplishing the following tasks. They merely present some fundamental logic and offer solutions to the initial stumbling blocks most often encountered by new users. Monitor incoming audio via headphones Say you want to monitor incoming audio from preamp/combo input A4 via headphones hooked to HP Output 1.
Play guitar through the virtual amps and cabinets, listening from studio monitors Connect your studio monitors to the Monitor outputs on the interface’s back panel. Next, connect your instrument to input 'G1' on the front panel. Adjust input gain from the 'Channel 1' controls while playing guitar. Note: Be careful not to run the input into the red with too much gain. Ideally, your strongest picking or strumming should cause the meter to run into the yellow.
This opens the ‘Mic Emulations’ window. Click and turn the dial to select the emulations available for your microphone. Note that choosing Edge Duo or Edge Quadro will automatically ‘link’ the inputs occupied by these microphones. You should be hearing your voice in your headphones in real-time, with mic emulations applied.
Main View The Main View is always visible in the Control Panel's top section. It's organized as follows: Function Strip The Function Strip contains the following items (from left to right): Power Button Click to switch the Zen Tour Synergy Core between On/Standby mode Clock Source Drop Down menu with the following options: ● ‘Internal’ - Oven-controlled crystal oscillator (internal) ● ADAT (2x, 4x) - ADAT input(s) (external) ● S/PDIF - S/PDIF digital audio input (external) ● ‘USB’.
Sample Rate Drop-down menu for choosing a device sample rate between 32.0kHz – 192kHz. Please make sure the device sample rate matches the sample rate in your DAW and operating system settings.

Gain Knob Click and drag the knob or double-click its text label (inner center) to adjust input gain. The available gain ranges are as follows: ● Mic: 0dB – 75dB ● Line: -6dB – 20dB ● Hi-Z: 0dB – 40dB Input Signal Meter Visualizes the input signal strength. Running into the red ‘clips’ the input because of excess gain. Reduce gain. Note: Some recordists enjoy the sound of overdriven mic preamps and mixer inputs for vocal and instrument recording. It’s safe to give it a try, but don’t push too hard.
● The Hi-Z option is available only on Channels 1 – 4 representing the four front panel preamp/combo inputs labeled G1 – G4. ADAT IN tab This tab contains controls for 8 ADAT digital audio inputs with editable text labels, gain adjustment knobs, Link buttons and signal strength meters. The available input gain range for all channels is -6dB – 12dB. Note that ADAT runs on S/MUX.

'Routing' tab This tab features the Routing Matrix (pictured above) for analog and digital audio routing. The Routing Matrix is row-based. Each row has its own unique color and represents a specific audio in or out with its maximum number of channels. The Routing Matrix is split in two main sections: Input (Source) and Output (Destination). Route audio between them by dragging and dropping the colored number blocks.
● Create custom-defined color patterns by double clicking the name of the row that you will be using, and the Select Color window will open. ● Show/hide channels from the input & output sections by pressing the small arrow pointing right. ● Use Ctrl/Command + Click and Shift + Click operating system shortcuts to select multiple blocks. ● An alternative grid-based view is available (‘MATRIX’). ● Undo/Redo buttons are available.
ADAT IN SPDIF IN AFX OUT MIX 1 - 4 L/R When your interface is connected over Thunderbolt™, the ‘COMP PLAY’ row represents DAW 'Outputs 1 – 32'. When your interface is connected over USB, the ‘COMP PLAY’ row represents DAW 'Outputs 1 – 24'. Basic workflow: Create a new track in your DAW and assign the output with matching number - e.g. DAW 'Output 1' = 'COMP PLAY' 1. Note: These rows also represent all computer audio, such as media playback, YouTube, etc.

'Mixer' tab The Mixer tab is home to four 32-channel software mixers. Each channel is equipped with Pan, Volume, Solo, and Link controls (on odd-numbered channels), as well as metering. The Master channel has Volume and Mute controls. Note the colored sliders below the Master fader. Drag it left and right to scroll horizontally between mixer channels 1 - 32.
Mixer 1 has AuraVerb available as a Send effect for monitoring purposes. Turn the Send knob on an audio channel to hear the reverb. The mixers are otherwise identical. AuraVerb AuraVerb provides richness and color using a special new approach and an unique algorithm. The reverb features eight different controls, including a ‘Color’ parameter to create everything between darkened textures to bright, sizzling presence.
Late Reflection Delay Among other things, AuraVerb calculates reflected energy from the side walls and ceiling of the virtual space. Late Reflection Delay controls the delay of these bursts of reflections, either creating echoes or supporting the spatial impression of the simulated acoustic space. Richness Richness controls the complexity of the reverb envelopment and dampening nuances. At “0” there is less dampening and a brighter decay.
Preset Manager The Preset Manager lets you save and load presets. Use the drop-down menu to choose a preset. Use the ‘S’ button to save a preset. Use the ‘L’ button to load a preset. Lear how to mix in your DAW with AuraVerb in our YouTube video. 'Effects' tab The Effects tab lets you apply up to 8 Synergy Core effects per mono audio channel for a total of 32 channel strips and up to 256 FX instances, independent of sample rate. Note: AuraVerb is only available as a Send effect in Mixer 1.
● ‘Link’ buttons are available for each pair of inputs. Linking two inputs means the exact same FX processing is applied to both. Names of inputs and linked inputs are shown immediately above the Presets drop-down menu on the left. ● The ‘DEL ALL’ button clears all FX racks for all audio channels. This function is protected with a tooltip: macOS (CMD + Left Click) & Windows (Ctrl + Left Click ● Click the ‘ADD NEW EFFECT’ drop-down menu to choose and add effects.
Among everything else it does, the Zen Tour Synergy Core rocks! A suite of 11 guitar amps and matching cabinets lets you monitor and record the roar of your electric guitar in realtime. There’s a bass rig in there too, so plug-in and get slappin’! If you don’t play guitar, but like the sound of cooked-up tubes and speaker cabinets pushing air, route any audio into these bad boys and check what happens! Getting Started Guitar amps and cabs are used like almost any other Synergy Core effect.
5. Enter the ‘Effects’ tab. Click the input which corresponds to the ‘AFX IN’ block. Click the ‘ADD NEW EFFECT’ button to choose an amp first, then click again and choose a cabinet. Here’s a textbook California-style heavy metal rig, for example: While the guitar amps don’t really need an explanation, the cabinet module is worth examining: ● Change the cabinet model anytime from the ‘Cabinet’ drop-down menu. ● Change your cabinet’s mics from the ‘Mic A’ and ‘Mic B’ drop-down menus.
6. If you want to take the guitar sound into your DAW for recording and additional processing, enter the 'Routing' tab and drag the corresponding ‘AFX OUT’ block onto a block labeled ‘COMP REC’. Setup the rest of your routing so you are recording from the ‘COMP REC’ output (e.g. 'COMP REC' 1 = DAW 'Input 1') and monitoring from the DAW instead of the Control Panel to prevent ‘duplex’ monitoring.
2. Place your guitar DIs onto tracks in your DAW and assign them to Outputs 1 – 32 (Thunderbolt™) or Outputs 1 – 24 (USB). These outputs send audio to the 'COMP PLAY' channels in the Control Panel’s Routing Matrix. 3. Head to the ‘Routing’ tab and route up to two ‘COMP PLAY’ channels into the ‘REAMP’ outputs. 4. Next, route the inputs you will be recording from into the ‘COMP REC’ channels. Set up DAW tracks to record audio from them - e.g. 'COMP REC' 1 = DAW 'Input 1'. 5.
4. Stack your amps, cabs and FX by clicking the 'ADD NEW EFFECT' button. 5. Hit ‘Play’ in your DAW’s transport controls to hear the sound as you shape your tone. 6. If you want to record the result, route the corresponding ‘AFX OUT’ block onto an available ‘COMP REC’ output and record from it in your DAW. Edge & Verge mic emulations Edge & Verge mic emulations are available on preamp/combo inputs 5 – 8. They are intended for use with the Antelope Audio Edge & Verge modeling microphones only.
Note that engaging mic emulations for Edge Duo and Edge Quadro automatically ‘links’ their input channels, thus individual gain adjustments per input are not possible while using their mic emulations. Using Mic Emulations In the ‘Mic Emulations’ window, click and rotate the dial to access the emulations available for your modeling microphone: Following is a guide to using the mic emulations for each Antelope Audio modeling microphone.
● Choose mic emulations from the drop-down menu on the right. ● Click and turn the ‘Phase Invert’ dial to flip the microphone’s polarity. ● Click and drag the ‘48’V switch to activate or turn off phantom power. Recording and Monitoring Edge Solo Edge Solo is a single-membrane condenser microphone. This means the microphone will occupy one physical mic preamp input, one block in the Routing Matrix ‘PREAMP’ row, and one block in the ‘MIC EMU’ row.
Edge Duo Mic Emulations Window The following functionality is available: ● Choose mic emulations from the drop-down menu in the middle. ● Click and turn the ‘Phase Invert’ dial to flip the microphone’s polarity. ● Click and drag the ‘48V' switch to activate or turn off phantom power. ● Click and turn the ‘Channel Swap’ dial to swap the Edge Duo inputs. ● Click and turn the ‘Pattern’ knob to adjust the polar pattern. Note that some mic models have fixed or limited polar pattern adjustment.
Recording and monitoring Edge Duo as a single-membrane condenser mic Route the ‘PREAMP’ input for Edge Duo to your desired outputs to monitor ‘dry’ audio. Route to a ‘COMP REC’ block to record from the corresponding input in your DAW. Recording and monitoring Edge Duo as a dual-membrane condenser mic In this case, you will record and monitor two concurrent mono inputs, one coming from each membrane.
Edge Quadro Connecting Edge Quadro Edge Quadro is a quad-membrane condenser microphone – it has two heads, each with dual membranes. The Top head rotates 360-degrees, enabling stereo recording techniques such as M/S, X/Y, Blumlein, and even 3D sound. Therefore, the microphone is bundled with a pair of Y-XLR cables. Their Left (White) connectors are for the front membranes, and their Right (red) connectors are for the rear membranes.
4. Top Head – Front Membrane. Bottom Head – Rear Membrane. 5. Top Head – Rear Membrane. Bottom Head – Front Membrane. 6. Top Head – Rear Membrane. Bottom Head – Rear Membrane. As a quad-membrane rotatable condenser microphone. Connect all XLRs from both heads with the corresponding cables. This is the only option for using the Edge Quadro mic emulations.
two ‘dry’ tracks from its Bottom head, two ‘mic emulation 1’ tracks and two ‘mic emulation 2’ tracks. With so many signals available, the routing and processing possibilities are extensive. Put the manual down and explore your skills and creativity. For more information about Edge Quadro, visit its product page. Verge Verge is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone that’s as simple to use as the Edge Solo.
Recording and Monitoring Verge Verge is a single-membrane, small-diaphragm condenser microphone. This means the microphone will occupy one physical mic preamp input, one block in the Routing Matrix ‘PREAMP’ row and one block in the ‘MIC EMU’ row. Verge mic emulations work on a single input audio channel. Recording and monitoring both ‘dry’ and ‘mic emulation’ audio means dealing with two mono tracks simultaneously. ● Route the ‘PREAMP’ input for Verge to your desired outputs to monitor ‘dry’ audio.
handled by the DSP and FPGA processors in your interface. AFX2DAW provides a more immediate workflow with the added bonus of Synergy Core FX automation in your DAW, which isn’t available otherwise. At the time of writing, AFX2DAW is supported only on Mac computers via Thunderbolt™. A Windows version is under development. Click here to learn more and purchase AFX2DAW.
● Click the ‘ADD NEW EFFECT’ drop-down menu to choose and add effects. Their instances will appear in the FX Rack to the right. The list on the left lets you click and drag to re-order. ● Use the ‘SAVE’ and ‘LOAD’ buttons to store FX chains. ● Use the ‘BP ALL’ and ‘DEL ALL’ buttons to bypass or clear all FX currently in the rack. ● Use the drop-down menu below these buttons to load presets. ● Individual ‘BP’ (bypass) buttons are available next to each effect on the left side.
'Meters' tab The Meters tab provides up to 32 individual volume meters for each row from the ‘Routing’ tab, selectable from the drop-down menu. ADVANCED USER TIPS Send and receive CV (Control Voltage) commands to Eurorack modular synths Zen Tour Synergy Core features DC-coupled line outputs. This makes it capable of sending CV (Control Voltage) commands to analog synthesizers.
Eurorack owners are fond of integrating their modular systems with Ableton Live. The free CV Tools extension makes it possible to send and receive CV commands as if they were regular audio streams inside the DAW, which is a particularly straightforward workflow. How to get started 1. Bring the audio output from your Eurorack modular down to line-level using a dedicated output module. 2. Connect your modules to the Zen Tour Synergy Core. 3. Enter the Control Panel ‘Routing’ tab.
