Pyramix Native
Pyramix Native offers 100% compatibility with the main Pyramix Virtual Studio (VS) system. Both the Pyramix
Native and the Pyramix VS can be connected on the same standard Ethernet network and directly interchange
audio and video media, or a Pyramix complete project between them.The Native software is USB dongle pro-
tected and runs on Windows 2000 or Windows XP desk-top or lap-top computers. It does have restrictions when
compared with the main Pyramix Virtual Studio capabilities, as you would expect, but the Native software main-
tains all the real-time editing capabilities expected of a professional system.
MassCore™
MassCore™ is an extremely powerful Pyramix option. A truly deterministic real-time engine that does not rely on
the Windows operating system. This avoids the inherent restrictions and latencies introduced by the operating
system and allows the channel/track-count to be increased to an unprecedented level. MassCore is scalable from
16 to 256 input and output channels with a massive 256 channel bus structure.
MassCore™ enables a number of new features:
• Larger Mixer configurations
• Extra 2.66ms and Ultra 1.33ms latency options
• Full Delay Compensation (VS3 and VST)
• VST inserts on Buses and Auxes
• VST Multi-channel support
• External Inserts (physical effects)
• External Monitor Inputs and Talkback
Where features are MassCore™ specific you will see the Masscore™ logo:

• Sufficient HD space and speed for your audio media files. The speed and amount of disk space required
depends on sample rate, bit depth, number of tracks and length of program material. A fast (10k rpm or
better 15k rpm) SCSI drive (e.g. Seagate Cheetah) or a fast RAID array is recommended for larger multi-
track projects, high sample rate and DSD work. Low cost SATA or IDE drives are fine for smaller projects of
up to 24 channels.
