Having taken an interest in this concept I found it amazing how much the whole set-up would cost! I have given some links below to see for yourselves (too much time on my hands unfortunatly)!
TC Works Powercore Element DSP Card here @ £349.99, 503.08 EUR, $649.72
TC Electronic Access Virus for TC Powercore here @ £329.99, 474.33 EUR, $612.59
TC Electronic Virus Unlimited License (optional) here @ £199.99, 287.47 EUR, $371.26
A grand total of £879.97, 1,264.87 EUR, $1,633.58
Here is what you could have albeit second-hand:
Access Virus C here @ £650, 934.31 EUR, $1,207.11
Novation Supernova here @ £250, 359.46 EUR, $464.27
You may find this thread useless, but I just want to share my find with people and to show that TC Works Powercore it is very expensive compared to similar hardware... I know what I'd have! Please air your views! |

| you shouldn't compare a powercore with a single synth..a powercore also includes high quality effect/dynamic plugins.. if you've to buy them as hardware it wouldn't be cheaper! |

| I was looking at it from a synth perspective! |

| yes i know.. but you also get the powercore01 for this money! (it's the emulation of the SH-101) so you have one more synth for the same price.. or you could buy the v-station soon. |

| the prices on a virus c will drop as soon as vrius tl comes out. maybe instead of getting the tc works powercore virus, get the virus c? |

That is true, but how many effects/synths could you (feasibly) run on the powercore at once? |

I maybe wrong but you have to buy the unlimited license to run more instances! |

yeh... it is VERY expensive.. I'm selling mine now due to that fact... you can get the new virus TI (which is VSTi integratable) for about $400 more...
the FX that come with it are ok... but Waves is just as good... |

What are you selling Alanzo? The PoCo or just the virus plugin? |

I wish Waves would port their plugins to the PoCo, that would be just way too sexy for words!! |
