  • The funny thing is that Lexicon did that to smooth out the reverb tail! Now that we have more bits, it's probably not necessary to do it for that reason, but it's probably one of the things that gives Lexicons the characteristic thick sound.

    IMO it would be a great addition to convolution plugins to have this kind of extra processing only on a configurable part of the IR's tail. [...]

    Remember - no need for chorussing if you want to convolute a real room. I don't think that the interest is too big regarding that little issue.

    Now, that's a great idea!

  • Hi Dietz,

    What do you think about the new VSS3-reverb that comes out these days for the powercore? Did you already test it and if you did, can you tell
    us about your impressions?

    I´ve downloaded the demo-version and switched through some parameters, imho it sounds good, much better than the standards classicverb and megaverb...but...could it really come close to a TC6000-verb?

  • Sorry, no hands-on experience on my side (don't have a PowerCore for testing). I suspect the System 6000 being still the slightly better-sounding platform due to its co-processors (which the PoCo lacks, AFAIK).

  • When I recently worked with the TC System 6000 I found out that the VSS3 algorithms have a much higher noise level and dc-offsets than the (more advanced) VSS4 algorithms (say -85 dB vs -120 dB).

    So I got the impression that actually (from the viewpoint of the 6000) the VSS3 programs are actually "older" (that is, ported from previous machines).

    Funny to see that "old" things can become "new" again, just by reselling it with cheaper hardware.

  • i've got the powercore, but have never really liked the megareverb as much as other people seem to. I'll use it sometimes on some projects, but never on orchestral instruments. For me, it is a dissapointment. i love the other plugs for powercore, though, and use them frequently.

    but what i have fallen in love with, is a relatively cheap outboard verb that seems to me to be very underrated -- the kurzweil ksp8. I was planning on buying a lexicon 300L, and cancelled the order when the kurzweil came in - it is fabulous. and the RSP "LARC" style remote makes it very easy to tweak.

    anyone else out there use it? any thoughts?

    Some of my friends told me that the Powercore is as good as the System 6000 ... is it true ?

    Thanks


    Oh I would love to believe that since I have one. Depends on the sequencer actually, namely latency compensation - could be a problem in Logic without some workaround and adjustments. Plus some of the processing in the 6000 emulation for Powercore adds additional latency - be sure to drill TC about it before making the plunge since the plug in is quite hefty in price.
