Show full description »

PowerCore Compact is a portable solution, well suited for laptop production environments on the road. With the FireWire connectors and the external power supply it only takes seconds to connect your PowerCore Compact, giving you instant access to serious processing and production tools.

With 12 powerful plug-ins right out of the box, the PowerCore Compact gives you all the tools you need for productions on the road and in the studio. Additional plug-ins can be added at any time from our ever-growing bulk of optional plug-ins. Great effort have been put into the design and the PowerCore Compact is the preferred choice when portability and instant access to powerful tools is an issue.

  • Compact Tools - Run all the renowned PowerCore plugs on the PowerCore Compact, without straining your hosts CPU. Spanning from classic and mega reverbs, delays, chorus, EQs, Compression over guitars amp simulation to vocal processing and old school synthesizing, you have a complete production setup. With the renowned Master X3 and the Filtroid plug-ins, and the innovative Character plug-in from Noveltech, you have some of the best processing found anywhere and all of it is included right out of the box!
  • Compact Power - With two 150 MHz Motorola DSPs and one 266 MHz PowerPC you have enough power for most production tasks where mobility is paramount. Integrating seamlessly with most VST and Audio Unit host applications, the PowerCore Compact adds subtle power for demanding processing, taking the load of your laptop or tabletop PC or MAC.
  • Unlimited flexibility - PowerCore Compact delivers the ultimate grade of flexibility. It integrates smoothly with most VST or Audio Units applications securing that all processing is possible and in correlation with your favorite music and film editing application. Hook up to 4 PowerCore Compact’s into the same system via the FireWire connectors, combine it with the PowerCore FireWire for even more power, or hook it up to a system already running with PowerCore Unplugged installed. For maximum flexibility we designed the PowerCore Compact to be highly portable. All you need to get your production environment on the move is a PowerCore Compact, a laptop and a plane ticket!

PowerCore Compatibility

  • PowerCore and VST -
    PowerCore is compatible with all VST host applications, such as Nuendo, Ableton Live, Cubase, Sonar, Wavelab, Acid, Sound Forge, a number of film- & post applications and more. This means that you can use all PowerCore plug-ins within these programs.
  • PowerCore and Audio Units - PowerCore is compatible with Apple's Audio Units (AU) format. This means that PowerCore plug-ins will run in all AU compatible host applications such as Logic, GarageBand and a number of film- & post applications.
  • PowerCore and RTAS (Pro Tools) - PowerCore is compatible with RTAS (Pro Tools) via a so called wrapper. This means that in order to run PowerCore plug-ins from within ProTools, you'll need to obtain the wrapper. The wrapper is able to translate the VST format into RTAS, and this means that you can use all PowerCore plug-ins within RTAS compatible host applications, such as Pro Tools.

Price Matching

Dolphin Music brings you the best music gear at the best price. We are committed to superior customer service and have extensive product knowledge. However, in today’s market we may not always be aware of all the price fluctuations of the products we sell. So, we offer competitive price matching.

Please fill in the following form to request a price match.

What prices we will match?

We will compare prices for new, direct from manufacturer items, excluding any add-ons, options, or other special features which may affect price.

The item must be new and must be the exact same make and model (ie, the same size, version, etc.).

Since our postage charges are lower than most of the shops, the comparison price must be a "delivered cost" to the consumer.

If we are unable to verify the previous condition, we will notify you that we require additional information to verify the Price Match request. Our goal is to make this policy simple and hassle-free. We are committed to responding to your requests quickly.

The price you have found must be the Internet Retailer's regular, advertised price for a current and available item. The price you found cannot be a closeout, discontinued, blemished, year-end, inventory reduction, or any other type of advertised sale price.

Price Matching requests may not be combined with any other promotional discounts, specials or other price incentives.

Prices and price sources you have found which do not meet the above criteria or in which incomplete or inaccurate information is provided to us, will not be approved for our Price Match.
