TC Electronic announces a new addition to the PowerCore platform: PowerCore 6000.
TC Electronic has combined System 6000 algorithms with its PowerCore platform. PowerCore 6000 will be available at the end of October 2008 for a suggested price of EUR 2650 ex. VAT.
PowerCore 6000 features eight FreeScale DSP engines, the same DSPs used in System 6000, and it has an SRAM memory design that supports high performance reverbs and delays. This enables users to run reverbs and delay-algorithms from System 6000 with popular DAWs like Logic Pro, as well as with any other VST- and Audio Units-compatible host.
According to NI, with the inclusion of the System 6000 plug-ins, PowerCore 6000 is one of the most powerful mixing and mastering solutions for DAWs available today. PowerCore 6000 includes 7 plug-in algorithms, which are ported 1:1 from System 6000: VSS3 Stereo Source Reverb, Nonlin2, DVR 2 Digital Vintage Reverb MD3 Stereo Mastering, Brickwall Limiter, UnWrap stereo to 5.1 conversion and TapFactory.
Powercore 6000 includes three of TC Electronic's best reverbs. Starting off with the VSS3 Stereo Source Reverb, a genuine and original reverb directly ported from the System 6000. NonLin2, an effects reverb which differs from the traditional natural sounding TC reverbs. NonLin2 is capable of generating compact vocal ambience; percussive and dramatic drum sounds, reverse reverbs and completely new “twisted” effects. Completing the reverb section of PowerCore 6000 is DVR 2 Digital Vintage Reverb. Careful attention was put into preserving the qualities of the original EMT250 processor, including sweet modulation, spectral balance, spaciousness and saturation.
PowerCore 6000 offers MD3 Stereo Mastering, System 6000s high-end mastering tool. We're told that 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. The mastering options given with the inclusion of the legendary MD3 mastering tool are supported through 2 more plug-ins. Brickwall Limiter, the plug-in used to get rid of the signals known to generate distortion in consumer CD players, radio processors and data reduction codecs and Unwrap 5.1, the tool that facilitates smooth and fast stereo to 5.1 up-conversion. Rounding out the plug-in package that comes with PowerCore 6000, users get TapFactory, a delay/reverb hybrid based on the Reflector algorithm from System 6000. TapFactory features effects that range from Reverbs like Ambience and Early Reflections to Delay, and allows individual parameter settings for each of its 24 taps.
PowerCore 6000 is targeted for high-end production environments where unsurpassed quality and processing capabilities are required.
PowerCore 6000 ships with PowerCore software 3.2 and is compatible with the latest Mac OS and Windows XP/Vista 32.Associated item(s) - TC Electronic PowerCore X8 + Sonnox

TC Electronic announces that the most powerful PowerCore available to date, PowerCore X8, is now shipping.
This latest addition to the PowerCore family features eight DSP engines, which offers twice the processing power of PowerCore FireWire, and allows even more plug-ins to be used simultaneously with native digital audio workstations.
PowerCore X8 ships with no less than 14 included plug-ins as well as PowerCore 3.0 system software, which adds new UIs and features to the PowerCore platform. On top of that, PowerCore X8 comes with a USD 500 plug-in voucher which can be redeemed at www.tc-now.com for optional PowerCore plug-ins. PowerCore X8 is available at a suggested retail price of EUR 1499.
What makes PowerCore X8 special is the combination of a floating-point Power PC with eight Motorola DSPs. This ensures tight integration into the native world while at the same time maintaining all of the advantages that DSPs offer for signal processing. This new DSP setup makes PowerCore X8 the most powerful PowerCore product to date, housing double the DSP of the next most powerful unit, the PowerCore FireWire.
PowerCore X8 ships with PowerCore 3.0 system software, the most significant update yet to the PowerCore platform. The new enhancements affect both the look and feel as well as the functionality, with a revamped UI for five of the plug-ins and new features like meter zoom, parallel compression and sidechaining. The PowerCore 3.0 system software is also available as a free update to all existing PowerCore customers with lots of enhancements and new features based upon a great deal of input from PowerCore users.
All redesigned plug-ins have new liquid signal meters, for even greater overview during mixing and mastering. Master X3 and Master X5 feature new handy meter zoom features, which allows users to zoom the metering scale of the input and output meters with a mere mouse click. Two of the included compressors, 24/7-C and PowerCore CL, feature built-in parallel compression via a new MIX knob that helps get great results fast and avoid complicated routing schemes. Five of the included PowerCore X8 plug-ins and one optional plug-in have new external Sidechain features by way of the new redesigned TC Sidechainer plug-in. The redesigned native TC Sidechainer adds high- and low cut filters, as well as the ability to name sidechain busses individually; it also allows users to take advantage of sidechaining through PowerCore X8s sidechainable plug-ins.
PowerCore X8 ships with 14 plug-ins included and combined with the optional plug-ins available, PowerCore X8 can be configured to tackle any task at hand.
In addition to more horsepower and a re-tooled suite of base plug-ins, PowerCore X8 also gives users the ability to customize their plug-in package. TC Electronic’s PowerCore platform offers world-class reverb, mastering, restoration, synthesizers, voice modeling, vintage emulations, harmonization, amp simulation and more, from TC Electronic as well as other leading brands like Access, Sonnox, Noveltech, TUBE-TECH, and TC-Helicon.
To make it even easier for users to customize their system, PowerCore X8 ships with a USD 500 plug-in voucher, which enables users to expand their PowerCore palette of tools in any direction they want. The voucher is redeemable through TC Electronic’s web store, www.tc-now.com.
PowerCore X8 is the powerhouse exponent of the PowerCore concept. This concept consists of a superior range of high-end plug-ins that run on tailor-made hardware units called PowerCore.
The platform integrates with virtually any VST, AU and RTAS based digital audio workstation for Mac or PC. The range of plug-ins available for the PowerCore platform covers any need that might arise in a recording or mastering situation, and in a quality not found in other VST, AU and RTAS compatible plug-ins. From basic tools like reverbs, EQs, compressor/expanders, chorus/delays, over plug-ins that are dedicated to the voice, sporting pitch correction and Voice Modeling™, to some of the very best tools on the market, like UnWrap and other “System 6000 for PowerCore” plug-ins.Associated item(s)
