You need either a ProTools Box or a DSP card for this. So it's not a VST.

Actually they ARE a VST Instrument/AU Instrument BUT they are hardware dependant - the Indigo VST/AU runs on the Pro Tools hardware and the Virus|Powercore runs off of the Powercore PCI card

and if you're wondering -

NO they are not/will not be pirated

NO they can not run without the hardware

I recommend the Powercore one, but it's very pricy (about $775 with the PCI card)

I would recommend getting a desktop/keyboard Virus B/C over it, though - the hardware versions have a much more stable resell rate and are more fun to program

yes thats right they are hardware dependant vst's, and you can get it working on an audigy 2, and yeah you cant pirate it, they get shipped really fast too had mine in less than a week.

I've never seen it.. but the problem is that when the Powercore software updates, you have to get a new version of the Virus as well (or whatever third party plugins you use). This can prove to be quite a problem for the warez community.

I believe H20 said that it's not that the Powercore/UAD plugins CAN'T be cracked.. it's that they feel that if you can afford the card, you can afford the plugins... which is true.. but it sux..

Best place to buy a Powercore Element in the US is http://www.jrrshop.com - $375 new

Plus the plugins are all $200 when they're normally 250 from TC
