TC Powercore is dead

Post by kylie »

just got an email where TC stated that they ceased the future development of the Powercore platform.
well, that's just another competitor that leaves the market... ;)

Make that 2.. SSL Duende is going native right?

Though I do share the sentiment that native is okay for most purposes, and if going native means less friction to purchase, it's a very attractive route for product development. It's a sound business choice, and also makes the technology accessible to many users.

I had a TC Powercore PCI card for a few years and at the time i sold it, the only plugin i used was one of the stock reverbs "Classicverb"
It was a sort of old Lexicon-esque lush artificial reverb. Really nice hall algorithms for dance/electronic music.

I know the selection of reverbs i have for Scope should cover it, but there was just something special about that one.. I'd buy it in native form if it sounded the same and was priced reasonably.
I guess we'll have to see what they do

it wouldn't be as good as a native plugin. i mean, it could be, if you didn't really want to run much else...actually, there's nothing wrong with buying a card just for a product like that which you really enjoy, although there are some damn fine verbs available used, for the price of a powercore card...
