KORE attempts to bring order to the overwhelming number of software instruments, effects, presets and varying operating concepts. Uniting all your NI and third party VST and Audio Units instruments and effects into a single platform, KORE presents them in a single, clearly structured, uniform interface. Inside your sequencer KORE becomes a plug-in.

KORE shifts the focus from the instrument to the sound itself. The KoreSound format stores information that describes a preset's musical characteristics. Use the Sound Browser's powerful search and filter functions to find sounds according to their musical attributes. As well as descriptive meta data, the KoreSound format also stores information on key splits, layers, routings, assignments and more making it a truly comprehensive format.

KORE's standardized software interface corresponds exactly to the layout and functionality of KORE's hardware component. The bi-directional communication delivers a dynamic workflow, displaying information instantly on both interfaces. The controller's high-resolution protocol, touch-sensitive knobs and USB 2.0 sound card turn all your plug-ins into a single, powerful and tactile instrument. NOTE: This is NOT a DSP solution - the hardware is a controller and audio/MIDI interface ONLY.
