Info

OverviewMassCore is an extremely powerful Pyramix option. A truly deterministic real-time engine that does not rely onthe Windows operating system. This avoids the inherent restrictions and latencies introduced by the operatingsystem and allows the channel/track-count to be increased to an unprecedented level. MassCore is scalable from16 to 384 Live I/O (768 simultaneous) with a massive bus structure. (For now this is limited in code to a total of 512at 1FS (256@2FS, 128@4FS, 64@8FS).MassCore enables a number of new features:• Larger Mixer configurations• Extra 2.66ms and Ultra 1.33ms latency options• Full Delay Compensation (VS3 and VST)• VST inserts on Mix Buses, Aux Send and SubGroup Buses• VST Multi-channel support• External Inserts (physical effects)• External Monitor Inputs and Talkback• Virtual ASIO supportWindows Boot ChoiceYou will see a new screen after the P.O.S.T(Power On Self Test) screen before Windows starts to boot. This screenoffers the choice between:Microsoft Windows Vista (or XP Professional)andMerging Technologies MassCorePlease choose Merging Technologies MassCore.MassCore : Overview 2 - 30
