4) Your default internet browser will open the Plug-in download page on the TC web-

site. Verify all the information entered is correct by paying particular attention to the

email address given. Press the 'Request Download' button. An email will then be sent

from TC to the email address supplied with a download link to your personalized

V-Station PowerCore.

Requesting your Personalized V-Station

for DAW's without Internet

1) If the Audio workstation is not connected to the Internet, the V-Station PowerCore

can still be installed. A different computer with an Internet connection and valid

email account must be used instead to complete the installation.

2)Insert the V-Station PowerCore CD into the CD drive of the Audio workstation and

double click the Plug-in installer icon.

3) A setup splash screen will appear. Press the 'continue' button.

4) A dialogue box will appear titled 'Plug-In Setup'. Click the 'Off-line' button.

5) A new dialogue box will appear called 'Plug-in Download', click the 'Install' button.

This will copy additional files required by the V-Station PowerCore to the DAW.

Instructions will appear within this window to show how to request a personalized

plug-in from a different computer.

6) Make a note of the V-Station PowerCore plug-in serial number shown on the

product box and the PowerCore authentication ID. If multiple PowerCore devices

are used, you can choose which PowerCore device the V-Station PowerCore is to

be authorized for. The PowerCore system allows for a plug-in that has been

authorized on one PowerCore device to run on all PowerCore devices in the same

system. Consequently TC recommend that if a PowerCore Firewire is installed in a

PowerCore system, that the V-Station PowerCore is authorized for the PowerCore

Firewire in preference to any PowerCore PCI cards.

7) From an internet ready computer, open a web browser and visit

www.tcelectronic.com/requestplugin.

This will bring you to the PowerCore optional plug-in download page. Select the

Request Authorized V-Station PowerCore option. Enter and verify all the requested

information and press the 'Request Download' button. An email will be sent to the

email address that has been submitted to the form. This email will have a link to your

personalized plug-in. Click this download link to begin to download the plug-in. It will

be necessary to save this to removable media (CDR, flash disc, external HD etc) so

that this can be transferred to the Audio workstation.

Oscillators the oscillators on an analogue synthesizer can be likened to the strings of a guitar and they provide the basic sound source for the majority of the v-station's sounds. All three oscillators are identical offering a wide range of waveforms and you have control over octave, semitone tunin...
Page 11
Mixer this five channel mixer is used to balance the levels of the three oscillators. However, you can also mix in a ring modulator and a noise generator for special effects. The ring modulator takes the signal of oscillators 1 and 2 and outputs sum and difference frequencies.This allows you to crea...

Amp env this 4-stage envelope generator is responsible for 'shaping' the overall amplitude of the sound. With this envelope, sounds can be made sharp and percussive or slower and more 'legato'.
