way limited by MassCore in any package. The idea behind this strategy is to offer thelowest possible price for users who want the power and exclusive features of MassCorebut have neither the use, or the hardware for larger track I/O counts. So whether you needjust a handful of I/O channels but tons of plug-ins or lots of tracks and lots of plug-ins oreven massive amounts of tracks with full processing and mixing capabilities over themaximum amount of I/O at any sampling rate, MassCore has a package tapered to yourneeds and your budget.Q: What are the new V6.0 features that work only with MassCore?A : MassCore gives you significantly higher raw mix engine power. To give you a basicidea of the difference in performance with MassCore you may expect a four- to ten-foldDSP power boost! That is without adding any additional DSP card in your Pyramixversion 6.0 system for the basic price of a typical audio plug-in. MassCore means largermixer configurations at all sampling rates, more real time plug-ins and effects, and one ofthe lowest latency timings of any DAW ever made.• 48 simultaneous channels of DSD or DXD Live I/O (largest in the world)• 384 simultaneous channels of Live I/O (768 simultaneous) at 1fs (44.1 or 48 kHz)• Extra (2.66ms) and Ultra (1.33ms) Low Latency recording modes (live in to liveout!)• Full delay Compensation (VS3 and/or VST plug-ins)• VST inserts on Busses and Auxiliary outs (and Native effects are processed inrealtime & inserted on buses)• VST Multi-channel plug-in support• External Inserts supported (to external effects gear)• New Monitoring features (External Tape Return keys/Talkbacks in multi-board)• ADAT daughtercard supports 16 in/outs in Multi-board configuration• Dual daughtercard becomes Multi-board capableQ : I am currently using Pyramix version 5.1 VS (Virtual Studio Mykerinos DSP based)and I am very happy with it’s performance to date. I am entitled to Version 6.0 upon itsrelease as per your software maintenance policy. If I wish to use MassCore do I need topay additional costs?A : Yes. Our software maintenance policy entitles users to support and software upgradesfor the period following the purchase of a Pyramix system corresponding to theirparticular software maintenance scheme (standard period of one year from systempurchase date). The MassCore software option is an additional feature to thePyramix Virtual Studio version 6.0 and is therefore sold separately for version 6.0.
MassCore is available in three software packages of 48, 128, and 256+ channels (+unlimited count as Pyramix evolves). See your local reseller for pricing and yourparticular software maintenance status.Q : I have been using Pyramix systems in my studios for a few years with pro classconsoles. We use them for recording editing and mixing audio projects in postproductionand music. They replace my old tape decks quite nicely as recorder / playersbut we don’t use a lot of plug-ins and have never run out of “power” on big projects.We will be upgrading our systems to version 6.0 this year. Why should I also opt forMassCore?A : If you neither have a need for larger mixing configurations nor the requirement tonow insert VST plug-ins anywhere in the Pyramix internal mixer (non-MassCore versionlimits VST insertion to playback strips only) then you may benefit from all the newenhancements, features and continued software support of Pyramix V6.0. and opt forMassCore in the future should the need arise.Q : I am interested in Ramses as a high capacity / low cost console for recording andmixing of studio work. How does Pyramix with MassCore benefit Ramses?A : Pyramix V6.0 with MassCore turns your Ramses hardware controller into the mostpowerful and complete integrated console/digital audio workstation solution of it’s kind.MassCore gives a Ramses console up to 384 live audio channel inputs, up to 256 mixbusses, full dynamics and E.Q. processing on each channel strip and mix bus, ultra lowlatency timings, full automatic delay compensation for plug-ins, native (VS3) and VSTplug-ins on inputs/ busses/ and auxiliary outs, multi-channel VST plug-in support,physical inserts to external effects processors, enhanced monitoring functions, externaltape return monitor keys, talkback management, down-mix matrices, Multi-stemmonitoring keys, speaker sets, studio calibration level, a new sophisticated audio meterbridge display, smoother operation, full dynamic automation, and many more featureswith room to grow. Add to all these functions the ergonomic Ramses MSC controlsurface with its motorized faders and knobs, the Edit Bay controller with its assignablebuttons and weighted jogwheel, and dozens of Ramses dedicated shortcut functions andRamses becomes a real pleasure to use on top of all the added power of MassCore.Q : I have a few older Pyramix workstations with Pentium 4 processors. I would like toupgrade to Pyramix V6.0 with MassCore. I cannot afford to stop my entire productionchain to upgrade machines all at once but I don’t want to work between two versions ofPyramix over an extended period. Do I need to upgrade my PC hardware beforeupgrading Pyramix to V6 or can I start running V6 now and upgrade my machines’hardware one by one?
