A little off-topic here, but I'm wondering where are the "low-hanging" gains to run VST stuff more capably/efficiently? In my own use-case I run a modest i5 processor (four core 3.2 GHz) with a fairly modest graphics card. Some things run blazingly fast even with multiple instances while other thin...

... I have found his Ison EQ very useful in situations where I needed to rapidly audition some EQ schemes. It's more powerful than it looks, and a close reading of the manual is needed to get the best out of it. It's also kind of weird looking, but not as weird as some of his other stuff. I rarely ...

The significant detail is ALL channel meters lit up, which is typical for re-syncing the unit.
Unfortunately this can be triggered by hardware and software failures equally, but it points away from the signal section of the box.

They developed multitouch designs more than a decade before tablets appeared...

Recently aquired one of those PI thingies on flea market for a tenner, mostly because it had the same CPU as my iPad.
Thinking: maybe gets me into ARM coding... but then reading all the Linux (sorry) rubbish and almost lost interest.
But hardware costs are ridiculously low atm.

definitely useful thinking... about the quick Scope live scenario versus the (in my case, too) unsolved recording setup.
In all those years still not solved, blame it to Mr. Lazy, who's attention is drawn away by 'sound' ever so often

Level doesn't matter (much) for a quality cabinet - it will react similiar on low and high volumes. But your ears won't be as trustworthy: their natural freqquency response is loudness depending. So the same cabinet will appear to sound different at different volumes ;) Some guitar cabinets may soun...

Yes, keeping things neat and focussed ...

Or it's simply because 4 cards is pushing the hardware beyond what was feasible when this technology was current.

Afaik PCI busses are grouped in '3 slot units', sometimes 2 busses were fully exposed (6 slot design), but later a single external bus was more common, hence the 3 cards maximum.

The main 'feature' of the pre-HDSP RME cards (Digi series) is the lack of a kernel streaming driver.
They work fine with Asio, though - but no system sound of most streaming services and similiar.

... The real deal sounds best, where "best" might be matter of taste too. For sure it does for the "programs" they created for multisamples and the original hardware. I compared some EMU stuff from my ESI imported into STS. It transfers only the pure waveform, but skips any tweaks for filter, envel...

WHOA!! Thanks astroman! I haven't heard these in 5-6 years!

you're welcome, Ken - it's just a tiny compensation for all the great ideas and music you shared over all these years
(in fact I only had it on that particular CD, which survived by pure chance...)

yes, that's a reasonable decision :) That transformers story was a rare exception, though and only driven by plain desperation: drove me nuts that it soundded so great with headphones on and none of this magic could be recorded ??? The Pikatrons were a cheap purchase (spares from another project) an...

and Earinger is totally out of bounds

The A16 Ultra features 16 converters that are all synced to the same clock signal. You can set sensitivity and output level per channel. A balanced studio setup will deliver a better signal to noise ratio and prevent interference between devices. You may need to balance external devices by transform...

I'd rather suspect the S/TDM connection
iirc you live on the coast of Croatia, salty air is nice to breathe, but quite aggressive to metal components
did you check the offending Pulsar 2 as the only card ?

Vocodizer is one of the best live vocoders and very close to top analog gear in this domain (imho) :8 You can mix it with your 'regular' voice and achieve some harmonic effect, but the modulated wave heritage will always be obvious. For vocal harmonization you need formant shifting added to the pitc...

that was a neat explanation @valis

It's probably the access to controls and how they act/interact on the VCS surface. I just switched to the iVCS3 (as I'm typing on the tablet) and within minutes I had something similiar to the Pink Floyd sequence running and could dial it into a Canned Heat like Blues Shuffle just by osc3 slipped in...
