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.

Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Cards

DSP cards house purpose-designed micro-processors built specifically for digitally processing signals in real time, generally.

This is where you get to tap into the realm of true advanced audio processing power which utilise powerful fine-grained algorithms to give you superior effects and control.

What others are saying:

feature:
comes with lots of bells and whistles.

quality:
tc's firewire code is pathetic. plug-ins lose sync soon after loading them. it's only gotten worse with the latest software version (1.9.3)

value:
don't buy this product.

desirability:
it looks cool. but it's a tease.

sound:
it sounds great.

support:
support is awful. very unresponsive. now i can't even get in touch with them. i try to sign on and my account doesn't exist. i try to re-register and it says my acount already exists.

overall:
1) i hope they fix it or 2) i hope to get my money back or 3) i hope someone steals it so i can not have to deal with it anymore.
