The PowerCore Fabrik R and Fabrik C are the new and innovative plug-ins for the PowerCore platform. They are based on the innovative Meta Intuitive Navigation Technology (MINT™) that redefines the way you use professional audio plug-ins for professional results.

We've integrated a simple yet highly effective and intuitive approach to working with audio, and the result is a UI that you'll be operating in a jiffy. Often people think that if you want to create professional results the process has to be tedious and complex - we don't agree.

The Fabrik plug-ins introduce a new way of working with audio, and they build on proven and award-winning TC technology, ensuring the highest level of audio quality.

We've gone to great length to rethink the way people work with audio. Often you spend more time tweaking a bunch a parameters and presets, and less time just listening and responding intuitively to what you hear. We want to change that, and for that reason we've invented MINT™ - Meta Intuitive Navigation Technology.



MINT™ is a design and programming philosophy that transcends traditional “UI thinking”, and it enables you to respond fast, intuitively and with total control.

But that's not all, you get instant gratification when you work with MINT™ based tools. What this means is that whenever you alter a parameter, you will instantly hear the difference. You've probably tried working with a plug-in where you end up spending a lot of time tweaking and adjusting parameters with no noticeable effect? Stop wasting your time and get instant gratification with MINT™.

To make things real easy we've made a UI design that just makes life easier. When you choose an object in the UI, the background will automatically change, bringing all relevant information and possibilities into your immediate reach. Please look at the animated gif which will give you a rough idea about how the MINT™ designed UI will make life a whole lot easier for you.

By now you should have a pretty good understanding about what we're trying to achieve with MINT™. If not, we think you should give it a try and experience MINT™ for yourself. We're sure you'll be quite surprised to learn that it only takes a few simple controls to work intuitively and professionally with audio. And most importantly, we are convinced that you'll start to listen more closely to your audio. Don't forget that what really matters is what you hear - let your ears back into your audio!

When you go to the tweak page you have direct access to important and easily adjustable tweaking possibilities.




Reverb
Here you can control the amount of delay and predelay you want to apply to your reverb. If you're in favor of a tasty delay slightly spiced up with just an ounce of predelay, navigate the XY grid accordingly.
Tip: sometimes it helps closing your eyes and just listening as you “feel” your way through your adjustments.





Modulation
When going into the Modulation area, you are about to alter the depth and the rate of the modulation. For some tasks it might be appropriate to apply quite a bit of depth and at other times less, deepening the rate of the modulation instead.
Tip: experiment, listen and learn. You'll be surprised about the results you can achieve if you just have “fun”.




Color
Here we have it, the holy grail of reverb…well maybe not quite, but knowing how to control the relationship between LoColor, HiFactor and HiColor is by some coined as “mastering the sound of the reverb”. Through the XYZ triangle you have all the possibilities to create the “sound” you want.
Tip: to really get superior results, we sometimes have to “forget” what we know, and just listen. If you're in a creative standstill, try a new approach that you might “think” won't work - it will open your ears to new ways of working with audio.




Distance
Dry source material, early reflections, reverb. Here you have the choice to blend the three as you want, setting their relationship through the XYZ grid. For that somewhat neutral sound set the dry parameter higher, if your source calls upon a lusher ambience, tweak up the reverb. You can define the location of the source by adjusting the early reflections. Basically speaking, a source reverb is capable of generating multiple, complex early reflection patterns, and what this does, is that it kind of let's you mold a 3D space onto your source material.
Tip: every now and again we mix something to absolute perfection. It happens when you use your intuition and you actually listen to what you're doing. Try it, it works.
