TC Electronic PowerCore, User Manual, Page: 5 / 22

WELCOME
CONGRATULATIONS!
You are about to add a stack of rackmount-quality effects to your native recording
environment – and we are convinced that once you have used PowerCore on a few
sessions it will stay as an essential part of your equipment for years to come.
PowerCore is an exciting concept, putting an end to proprietary closed system
environments. With a range of hardware and software options, and its seamless
integration into the VST and Audio Units you will still be able to freely build the
system environment according to your needs – and benefit from the much greater
predictability of DSP-based systems at the same time.
PowerCore is an open development platform – so make sure you check
www.tcelectronic.com regularly for the latest information on new products by our 3rd
party developers, such as Sonnox, TC Helicon, DSound, Access and Noveltech.
The 3rd party community is growing rapidly – so there won’t be a shortage of new
and cool tools!
Please don’t hesitate to supply us with feedback – this way you can help us to keep
making products that will help you getting the job done.
ENJOY!
