Software

Running with any Audio Unit or VST based DAW application, you’ll only have to use your creativity to get the sound that high-end mastering studios and Oscar-winning sound designers have been able to achieve from the System 6000.

The 7 pristine algorithms included with PowerCore 6000 are ported 1:1 from System 6000. Due to the fact that PowerCore 6000 and System 6000 share DSP/Ram hardware design, the algorithms are not emulations: they are the real thing.

The PowerCore 6000 plug-ins share the intuitive user interface known from System 6000 including the "Focus Fields" that allow you to place any parameter from any parameter page in one of six quick access fields in the buttom of the user inteface.

PowerCore 6000 is preset compatible with System 6000: seamlessly import presets made with System 6000 and use them immediately in your Logic Pro project.

Compability
PowerCore 6000 is compatible with Apple's Audio Units (AU) format.
This means that PowerCore 6000 plug-ins will run in all AU compatible host applications such as Logic, Soundtrack Pro, GarageBand and a number of film- & post applications.

PowerCore 6000 is compatible with all VST host applications, such as Nuendo and a number of film- & post applications and more.

PowerCore 6000 ships with PowerCore 3.2 software, compatible with Vista 32

Hardware







Designed for serious studios and professional applications, the PowerCore 6000 is sure to deliver, and it will meet even the most demanding tasks and requirements. Even complex mixes are possible with just a laptop and the PowerCore 6000.

PowerCore 6000 uses the same DSPs you will find in System 6000. The unique combination of a floating-point Power PC with 8 Freescale DSPs ensures tight integration into the native world while at the same time maintaining all of the advantages that DSPs offer for pristine signal processing. This ensures the same high quality of processing as you’re used to from the hardware world.

PowerCore 6000 features an SRAM based memory design that supports high performance reverbs like the VSS3 Stereo Source Reverb, DVR2 Digital Vintage Reverb and NonLin2 Stereo Effects Reverb.

VSS3 Stereo Source Reverb

The VSS3 Stereo Source Reverb is a genuine and original reverb directly ported from the System 6000. The VSS3 algorithm was researched and fine-tuned by TC engineers for over a year, resulting in an exceptionally precise tool. Similar to the chaotic response of a natural room, the VSS3 reacts differently to identical signals.

MD3 Stereo Mastering

MD3 can be regarded as a high-end mastering tool. M and S components of a stereo signal can be processed separately and provide even more control making full use of the Spectral Stereo Enhancer. Dual Mono and Stereo dynamics processing in three frequency bands. By offering a true side-chain split structure, MD3 is also capable of demanding mono material compression/limiting on two separate channels, not found in other multi-band dynamics processors.

BrickWall Limiter

If you are concerned about audio quality at the end listener, or have a desire to conserve talent, the BrickWall Limiter is the solution. While it cannot prevent destruction of dynamic range from happening at earlier stages in the production process, it does get rid of the signals known to generate distortion in consumer CD players, radio processors and data reduction codecs.

NonLin 2 Stereo Effects Reverb

Featuring an amplitude envelope that is capable of rendering an untriggered gated reverb and a 'twist' parameter, which can radically alter the sound, this plug-in delivers a serious advantage over other gated reverbs. NonLin2 is capable of generating compact vocal ambience, percussive and dramatic drum sounds, reverse reverbs and completely new “twisted” effects.

DVR2 Digital Vintage Reverb

TC Electronic has put much effort into preserving the qualities of the original processor, including sweet modulation, spectral balance, spaciousness and saturation. But not only is DVR2 the most precise EMT250 emulation up to now, it also emulates its predecessor in the way parameters interact for different settings.

UnWrap Stereo to Surround Conversion

Whether you lack time to do a conventional 5.1 mix or a multitrack source simply doesn’t exist – UnWrap™ facilitates smooth and fast stereo to 5.1 up-conversion.

TapFactory Multi-tap Delay

Let your creativity run wild with this delay/reverb hybrid based on System 6000 Reflector algorithm. Easily design custom out-of-this-world effects that cross the borders between Ambience, Early Reflections, Reverb and Delay.
