Re: Definitive Scope PCI card host PC?

No, I have recently bought the MOBO and CPU separately, as I intended to build the PC myself. Then I decided to ask the local store to sort things out for me and to come up with a recommendation for the other components. So I have not used the MOBO and CPU in other systems, they are both new. So now...

Re: Definitive Scope PCI card host PC?

Here is one more attempt to upgrade my (assembled in 2008) desktop audio PC to a more current state. This will be home for my 2x Pulsar 2 . Following postings from other members, I have purchased an ASUS PRIME B460 PLUS that has 2 pci slots. I have also got a Intel Core i7-10700 Comet Lake Prosessor...

Windows 7 Starter (32 bit)

I am considering an Acer Aspire One running Windows 7 Starter edition (32 bit) to control the GUI of my NOAH EX over USB. Does anyone know if this is at all possible with the Starter edition? It is limited in many ways? I will not be running a DAW on the machins, only use it to access the NOAH remot...

Re: Best mobo and cpu combo

Well, my previously described attempt to buy a readily set up computer failed. I ended up bying a new motherboard off Ebay, shipped from US to Norway. So I better start assembling the other component for my new 3 x PCI set up. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ojUAAOSwJ2lfVn1T/s-l1600.jpg and https://i...

Re: Best mobo and cpu combo

The main use for the new machine will be music making with ableton live suite 10. I reach the cpu limit today when activating NI sample libraries and Waves plugins. The machine will be yet another attempt to customise Scope project and Scope power for Ableton live. The i3 may be a bottleneck as far ...

Re: Best mobo and cpu combo

It is a machine that is sold as an «excellent gaming machine». I consider buying a pre configured system where some knowledgeable guy has put together components that match eachother. So it is a gaming system :) that I believe will also work as a DAW. I will ask for 16gb ram and 1tb SSD.

Re: Best mobo and cpu combo

Would this setup do for a new audio pc for my 3 x Pulsar II cards? The mainboard seems to be entry level, but has 3 pci slots.

Re: Motherboard Future Prof my 3 PCI cards and Scope Platform

Hello, and happy Christmas! Thank you for posting this, as it kind of confirms the conclusion I have drawn from browsing numerous postings about what makes an up to date combo of mobo, cpu and ram. I have 3 pulsar 2 cards and the rig I am currently running was built in 2008. It features a core duo, ...

Upgrade to Flexor III or not

Hello! I have been sitting on the fence for 14 years now, considering to upgrade from Flexor 1.5 to 3 or not. So yesterday I decided to finally act and went to the S|C store. I am a typical preset user, and know little about modular patch making, but I like modular's distinctive sound and its possib...

Re: Best Modular II & III - PowerPack 2020 - Gift For all the Scope Users

Thank you for this gift!

I will test the patches on my system that now consists of 3x Pulsar 2. I started out on a Luna 2 in 2002. I am very impressed by how Scope still adds some unique sonic qualities to my Ableton live setup.

Re: Luna II - dead?

Solder breaks or aging caps. I guess you are right. Perhaps most of the old CW PCI cards are nearing the end of their lifetime? I am a little worried paying big money for hardware made in 2001. ANyway, it appeared that a friend of mine had a Pulsar II laying around, that I bought for an acceptable ...

Re: Luna II - dead?

Nah, it works for a while, but then the connection to the cards gets lost again with certain intervals. I realised that if I shut down my computer and also turn off the switch on the powersupply, then the system will work for a short time upon restart before it begins loosing the connection again. T...

Re: Luna II - dead?

Aaaahhhh, much too optimistic! I had the pleasure of enjoying a fully re-installed Scope 7 on my W7 64 machine with a Luna II, and 2x Pulsar II. Even the presumed dead Luna box was fully operating using the 8 ins for my old hardware synths. All separately purchased plugins were installed. Then I lef...

Re: Luna II - dead?

Hmmm, got the Luna II and the Luna box running again. I have used the system for a while by deactivating the Luna II card, using only the 2x Pulsar II cards and the analog in/out of the cards itself. Now I have forgotten what tests I did last time that made me conclude the card and box are dead, so ...

Re: Noah Not Making Any Sound...

I have owned a Noah EX since 2007 and have on a few occasions needed to reinstall the OS. You will need a software to reprogram the Flash memory, hopefully this is available on the SC webside. Then you will need the full software for your computer, preferably v 1.1, but it sounds like you already ha...

Luna II - dead?

After months of inactivity, I switched on my DAW only to witness the possible death of my Luna II. I opened a project and streamed some audio from Spotify, and with frequent intervals I could hear crackles. After a while the audio stopped and the diodes on my Luna box started blikning red. I restart...

Volksampler

Hello, Does anybody know if the Volksampler is still supposed to work, that is under W7, 8 or 10 under 32/64 bit environments? Just though of the idea of using it to apply some old S1000 samples in a project. I believe the STS series converts the S1000 programs quite well and perhaps the Volkssample...
