Future development of the PowerCore platform has been ceased

As part of a larger strategic review, we have decided to cease further development of the PowerCore product range, including hardware units as well as software for the PowerCore platform. With the most recent release of software version 4.0, PowerCore is fully compatible with current operating systems, such as Mac OS X Leopard, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, as well as the most popular DAWs - 32 bit and 64 bit.

We will continue to sell all of the existing PowerCore plug-ins (through dealers and TC Now) and hardware variants. We will also keep offering user support for the platform so you should be able to continue using your current system for quite a long period. Bugfixes will be handed on a case-by-case basis.

Also, it is very important to stress that we will continue our general computer recording activities, including audio interfaces and plug-ins.

Finally, for those of you, who wish to continue using externally powered plug-ins on the long term and want to find an alternative to PowerCore, we have collaborated with Universal Audio in order to create an attractive UAD-2 crossgrade offer. The only condition is that you are new to the UAD platform. Read more about the crossgrade offer here.

TC Electronic offers attractive crossgrade option from PowerCore to Universal Audio UAD-2

We have collaborated with Universal Audio in order to offer a crossgrade program, allowing registered PowerCore users to receive a value pack of up to $1,300 worth of UAD Powered Plug-Ins free of charge when registering a newly purchased UAD-2 DSP Accelerator Package.

You can take advantage of the crossgrade offer from February 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011. In order to qualify for the crossgrade offer, you must register a new UAD-2 package, including the recently announced UAD-2 Satellite Firewire DSP Accelerator, within this period. Further, the offer is only valid to new users, i.e. users that are new to the UAD platform.

Further, it’s important to mention that you do not have to send your PowerCore hardware unit to us or Universal Audio in order to crossgrade, you can keep it and continue to use the hardware as well as your PowerCore plug-ins.

If you qualify and want to make use of this offer, simply register your newly purchased UAD-2 DSP Accelerator Package via Universal Audio’s website. During the registration process, just enter the serial number of your registered PowerCore unit which will trigger the release of the corresponding UAD Powered Plug-Ins.
