The Character plug-in is based on an Intelligent Adaptive Filtering (IAF) technology from Noveltech, and the processing affects both the frequency response and the dynamic properties of an audio source in a highly time-varying sense. Character intelligently identifies and enhances characteristics in the instrument- or vocal source, which are pleasing to the human ear. The processing is non-linear and highly dependent on the source materials original characteristics, enhancing the perceivably favored individuality derived from the original musical instrument or voice.
PowerCore Compact Portable Power

Dynamic EQ EQ for mixing and mastering
MegaReverb TC reverb processor
Dynamic EQ is a new tool for any mixing or mastering situation. This virtual processor eliminates the shortcomings of static EQ by providing a dynamically applied equalization. Each of the up to 4 bands can work in static or dynamic mode, or even a mixture of both. The Sidechain bands are independent of the processing bands so the high frequency content of a mix can control the low-end, and vice versa. The pristine processing of this plug-in is all in 48-bit double precision, and may even be used in a phase linear mode.

Note: Not included with PowerCore Compact.
The MegaReverb plug-in comes with classic reverb features like diffusion, dense tails and realistic room impressions six room shapes that are modeled after real rooms. Separate early reflections and tail controls, algorithms based on M5000, a high cut filter, and 100 presets, is just a few of the features that the MegaReverb sports. This is a tool that provides a genuine reverb solution for all PowerCore users.

PowerCore 01 synthesizer

SYNTHESIZERS
EQSAT Custom hi-performance EQ
PowerCore 01 is a mono-synth that delivers results similar to the famous SH-101, with some added features like velocity and drive. Punchy bass lines, synthetic percussion sounds or synth-leads PowerCore 01 can do it all.
EQSat Custom is a very clean sounding and carefully crafted EQ-model for any application including mastering. The processor provides 5 bands with 3 parametric ones and 2 additional shelving bands. The frequency response display gives instant feedback on the applied equalization curve. And whats more, the unique saturation emulation can be activated to create that warm, analog sound whenever desired.
PowerCore CL channel compressorlimiter

DYNAMICS

Filtroid dual filterbank

FILTERBANK

High-quality compression and limiting on each channel is very hard to realize when limited to native processing only. Vintage CL delivers just that up to 28 Vintage CLs can be run on one PowerCore card, or 7 per DSP. In spite of this efficiency, Vintage CL employs a carefully crafted algorithm, wich emulates the behavior of industry-standard analog compression devices.
With its dual filters and extensive modulation capabilities, Filtroid brings the sound of analog filter banks to the PowerCore platform. The filters can be used in series or parallel for the utmost creative control and extreme filter effects. With the sidechain input it is even possible to modulate the filter from another track. Tempo Sync ensures that filter movements are always synchronized to the speed of the sequencer, and a distortion unit adds an additional edge to the sound if desired.

BrickWall Limiter is a stereo/dual mono limiter with new features and technology. Today, clipping and maximizing in production and mastering are being exploited to an extent where most rock and pop releases generate early listening fatigue. Distortion is generated in CD players and data reduction codecs because of mediocre processing and level control. The BrickWall Limiter is designed to adapt to the signal, investigate if the signal will create downstream distortion problems and to remove this hazard if so decided.
Three band Expander and Compressor Limiter and Soft Clip functions Use on Dual Mono sources or Stereo signals Four band Parametric EQ MS mode for advanced image controlling 48 bit, fixed point, hi-res processing
Low distortion, precision Limiter Detects if signal is contaminated with OdBFS+ peaks Prevents downstream distortion from being generated 3 times up-sampled processing 48 bit, fixed point, hi-res processing
Fabrik R combines four new TC algorithms in one single plugin. Thanks to Meta Intuitive Navigation Technology (MINT) it is a breeze to find the sound youre hearing inside your head. If you want to apply a live vibe to your vocals and instruments, use the Live Reverb. For vocals that need an even larger quality, choose the Hall Reverb. For that sound of the past as well as for drums and percussion, apply the Plate Reverb. If youre working with guitars try the Club Reverb, which also works great with vocals. Within each reverb youll find it very easy to adjust any setting to your own taste. You wont waste time with nitty-gritty preset adjustments all you really have to worry about, is using your ears.
The Fabrik C is a full-blown EQ, De-Esser and Compressor in one single plug-in in short, the Fabrik C has all the qualities of a channel strip. With Meta Intuitive Navigation Technology (MINT) you have total control of all the parameters, using only a few dedicated knobs. The EQ is a 4-band parametric EQ with high/low-pass filters choose between 4 different filter types. Based on no-nonsense design, the de-esser is based on one fader that gives you total control. Unlike other compressors, the Fabrik C comes with an inbuilt 3-band intelligent compressor. But of course you can also choose the more common technique and switch to full-band compressor mode. Use the Fabric C as an insert on your channels its probably one of the best and most optimized tools you can use for that job.

Intonator HS vocal intonation correction
Tube-Tech CL 1B emulation redefined
Emulation is being redefined with the Tube-Tech CL 1B plug-in. The CL 1B plug-in is based upon highly advanced component emulation technology, and brings the legendary analog sound of the CL 1B compressor/limiter to the PowerCore platform. The CL 1B uses a carefully crafted algorithm, so efficient it allows the use of up to 2 instances in stereo at 44.1 kHz or 1 instance in stereo at 96 kHz per DSP chip on 2nd generation PowerCore hardware (Compact, FireWire, Express, PCI mkII). The CL 1B plug-in is compatible with all types of PowerCore hardware.
The TC-Helicon Intonator HS for PowerCore fixes intonation problems in vocals on the fly, saving producers hours of recording and editing time. The plug-in utilizes the latest intonation correction technology also found in TC-Helicons hardware products and delivers very natural sounding results. The user interface is straight-forward and easy-to-use with a real-time pitch and processing display. For creative applications, the maximum pitch correction range is +/- 600 Cents, even allowing you to force a melody to one note, if you like. Additionally, an innovative adaptive Low-Cut Filter removes unwanted low frequency rumble and noise without making the voice sound thin.
VoiceModeler voice morphing tool

Vocal Enhancer

The Noveltech Vocal Enhancer gives your vocal recordings an unprecedented crispness, depth and clarity thanks to Noveltechs patented Intelligent Adaptive Filtering technology. As it constantly adapts to the source, the results are way superior to static processing and conventional Enhancers: the sound remains natural, even when applying way more than just a little.

VoiceModeler utilizes TC-Helicons unique technology to alter the sound of a voice completely. The real-time process can turn thin vocals into throaty ones or even transform a male into a female voice. Now, one singer can have multiple Voice Personalities and a convincing choir sound featuring different voices can be built from one source sound. VoiceModelers Resonance and Breath features combined with the Spectral features can be used to subtly enhance the sound of a vocal. It will make it crisper, give it slightly more body or create a breathy intimate sound or even all at the same time.

The Sony Transient Modulator is an application that allows the dynamic level of signals to be modified by the transients in the program material over time. The effect is to bring transient events in the program forwards, or push them into the background, so that the attacks of instruments can be accentuated or softened depending on settings.

Sony Oxford Limiter programme limiter
Being used by many broadcasters and studios worldwide, the Oxford Limiter will deliver the loudest mix possible without clipping. Its unique enhance function takes it one step further, enhancing perceived loudness and adding the warmth like characteristics of 2nd harmonic distortion. It also comes with a good range of presets ranging from subtle to very aggressive.
