The TC Electronic
PowerCore X8 just makes a good thing better. With eight Motorola DSP chips and
a floating-point PowerPC processor, the X8 has twice as much power as TC's
original PowerCore and four times as much as its PowerCore Compact. Compatible
with VST, Audio Units and RTAS formats, the 14 included plug-ins are each able
to run with multiple instances while creating nearly zero hit to your
computer's processing power. Packed into a single rackspace, the X8 connects
via FireWire and operates using the new PowerCore 3.0 system software, which
features an improved look and feel, as well as new enhancements such as meter
zoom, easy parallel compression and the new TC SideChainer plug-in with hi- and
low-cut filters.
The new OS is available
for existing PowerCore users as a free download from TC's Website, and while
you're there, you can use a $500 voucher that comes with the X8 to purchase a
few "optional" plug-ins from third parties such as Sonnox, TubeTech,
Novation, Softube and more. You can get it for $1,745 at www.tcelectronic.com.
