From Our Research Team:

Infect Your PowerCore with an Access Virus!

The TC Electronic Virus|PowerCore adds the sound of the legendary Access Music Virus Indigo synthesizer to your PowerCore coprocessor, unleashing the analog-style mayhem inside your DAW! The Virus|PowerCore gives you 16 voices, each with three main oscillators, two filters, three LFOs, and two envelopes — a hotbed of sound-creation potential for you to play with. You also get five separate effects processors with killer effects, an ultra-smooth 32-band vocoder, an astoundingly advanced arpeggiator, and a massive modulation matrix to make sound creation fun and exciting. Because each instance reflects the actual circuitry of an Access Virus Indigo, you can even swap patches between Virus|PowerCore and Virus hardware synths. Best of all, because Virus|PowerCore runs on your PowerCore coprocessor, it doesn't strain your computer's CPU!

Sweetwater Advice

Nate Edwards
Looking for THE ultimate synth for your computer audio rig? The Virus PowerCore is IT! Used in conjunction with TC's PowerCore, it offers you 4 individual parts of the meatiest, lushest, most inspiring 'analog' synth sounds you can get on a computer, and the PowerCore frees up your precious CPU processing horsepower, allowing you to do more with your music. With the option to expand to up to 16 voices, this is all you need for a veritable synth orchestra. I use it for sound design, dance music, film sound, rock and roll - everything!
Carson McClain
$399 for a Virus. You would be out of your mind not to buy this if you are a PowerCore owner. This is the real deal! If you don't have $3000 for a Virus you must get this. Rave, house, trance, EBM, industrial, and hardstyle all owe their advancement to the Virus and what better and cheaper way to add it to your rig than this?

Buggy (but sounds authentic=great)

Music Background:
Still somewhat buggy, especially with Emagic Logic. You can't route the 4 parts to different outputs, which severely limits your FX possibilities (especially considering theres only a single glob... read more [+]al delay/reverb effect that covers all 4 parts). The patch system would be very nice if it actually allowed me to save patches (whenever I try to save a patch, it corrupts the bank i'm trying to save to).


Its a Virus. It sounds awesome. But please, TC and Access, work out the bugs! I don't think this plug was fully tested under OS X and Logic.


I can't recommend buying this until version 1.1 or whatever bugfix is released so it is fully functional. Hopefully the multi-DSP license is forthcoming and reasonably priced. close [-]
