6.3 AFX Rack
The AFX Rack is where you insert effects into a mixer channel, forming a Channel Strip to process audio with. It's
accessible by clicking inside the empty fields below the mixer's BP buttons (in 8-channel view) or clicking the FX button
(in 16-channel view).
The Antelope Audio AFX collection is vast, comprising an Equalizer, Compressor, the PowerGate noise gate, the AuraVerb
reverb, 21 Vintage EQs, 13 Vintage Compressors, 10 Guitar Amps and 10 Guitar Cabinets. Additionally, our Mic
Emulations currently number 11 models for the Edge large-diaphragm modeling mic, and 5 models for the Verge small-
diaphragm modeling mic. We aren't stopping here, our team is working hard to expand the AFX and Mic Emulations
suites with more models of coveted studio gear!
We are confident you will find our emulations sound and behave incredibly lifelike. That's because they are all happening
in real time on the Discrete 4's FPGA (field-programmable gate array) chip. FPGA technology lets us provide authentic,
circuit-level emulations of classic studio hardware. Rather than "describe" circuitry in abstract DSP code, we dynamically
re-configure the chip to behave exactly like it.
That's right – we recreate all this rare vintage equipment on an actual hardware circuit, piece by piece. This way, the
FPGA literally takes on the personality of the same circuitry and components that forged the sounds of countless classic
records. It's a bit of a marvel, really!
There are some limitations in place, however. The number of effects you can apply simultaneously depends on which
Discrete 4 bundle you purchased. Here's the breakdown:
