No longer the preserve of the recording elite, these native DAW plugins will deliver all of the performance of the iconic original unit combined with modern day convenience.

A Legend Re-imagined

TC Electronic set about re-imagining the legendary System 6000 as native DAW Plug-ins without sacrificing any performance, character or useability. The Danish engineers, including many from the original System 6000 team refined audio quality whilst staying faithful to the original hardware version. The development team fastidiously re-engineered these new native plug-ins to offer full support for standard DAW automation and project recall with new optimized user interface ergonomics.
