Serious Power for Native Audio Workstations
Mobility
PowerCore is the open DSP-platform for rackmount-quality processing inside any
VST or AudioUnit compatible audio application such as Logic, Cubase, Nuendo
or Performer. The new PowerCore FireWire enables laptop users and professionals
constantly on the move to take advantage of the wide selection of professional tools.
Power
Even complex mixes are possible with just a laptop and one PowerCore FireWire,
as it is offering almost twice the power of the PCI-card version! The unique combination
of a floating-point PowerPC with 4 Motorola DSPs ensures tight integration into the
native world ? at the same time maintaining all of the advantages that DSPs offer for
pristine signal processing.
Quality
PowerCore?s software and hardware provide the utmost quality and a future-proof design.
Extremely power demanding tools like Mastering Dynamics, Reverbs and other
professional virtual processors run on PowerCore without draining the host computer?s
resources.
Tools
PowerCore FireWire delivers an array of powerful tools right out of the box. The nine
virtual processors included feature the most complete collection of dynamics
processing available, including a virtual Finalizer (Master X), Vintage Compression
and a Voice Channel Strip. Not to mention the two TC-quality Reverbs, Modulation
Effects, EQ, Synthesis...
Flexibility
Aside from the included software, PowerCore users may choose from the growing
number of optional TC and 3rd party tools, featuring renowned brands such as Waldorf,
Sony, TC-Helicon, DSound - and many more to come. Naturally, the PCI-card and the
FireWire version of PowerCore may be used in the same system!
Includes Plug-Ins:
24 / 7-C Virtual Limiting Amplifier
Convincing vintage compression and limiting using one of the most desired vintage models
for PowerCore! 24/7?C was inspired by one of the vintage processors synonymous with
classic dynamics processing for mixing and mastering. This Plug-In recreates the details of
the sound and user interface of this hardware processor as closely as possible, delivering
virtual vintage at its best. The user interface is simple and straight-forward: increasing the
input will drive the limiter depending on the selected ratio. Even the famous 4-Button-mode
was implemented. A special new feature is an Auto-Gain sensing for the Output parameter,
that adjusts the output depending on the program material. Four stereo or up to six mono
instances of 24/7-C run on just one of PowerCore?s DSPs, without taxing the CPU.
