...KORE can host any VST and AudioUnit instrument and effect. It runs stand-alone or as a plug-in within all major sequencers.

That looks awesome. I can't imagine being able to run NI stuff without a cpu hit. Let see what they wanna charge for it.

Seems like it's only really geared towards people playing presets though. Not really for someone who wants to tweak their own patches.

i know it talks about stand-alone operation, but you sure about that? seems like if it really offloaded the cpu and acted like smart hardware, they would be making a bigger deal of that fact.

as usual with NI marketing copy, i really can't tell if this thing is cool or not.

Reminds me of a hardware version of Reason 3's browser to be honest.

if it had a bunch of DSP they'd be making a big deal of it.
as it is, sounds like it's a glorified controller with some preset browser intelligence. yawn.

I agree. Unless the hardware is "hardwired" to give access to the software without the CPU hit, then.....so what.

Just a glorified version of something like chainer with a hardware interface, and it looks like some kind of sequencer.

But it would be a step toward something cool, like a hardware box that could be a DSP-like processor for vst software. That would be much cooler than the receptor or even fxteleport.

really just depends on the price. i use a lot of NI stuff so a little dedicated doorway would be nice. but not a lotta money nice.

btw - for anyone trying to interpret NI's marketing speak, i'm pretty sure that "stand-alone" means without a host, not without a computer.
