Re: "Jumper trick" question

You're correct - again I'm trying to over-complicate things for the sake of a couple of saved cables. Besides, sending MIDI data over a network is easy, if I needed to do that! I think I remember doing such a thing last year, so I'll have to re-trace my steps. Running optical from the Pulsar is obvi...

Re: "Jumper trick" question

Gary, Thanks for your response, as always! I do understand the notion that there can only be one ASIO device, but I'll try to give you some information to make things less vague... I'm using the Jack Audio Connection Kit to route audio between a number of different computer systems. They have their ...

Re: "Jumper trick" question

Well, it's taken me longer than expected, due to some software problems, and waiting on solutions. At the moment, it doesn't look like the audio is making it to the network ASIO driver. Is there anything I should be setting in my XTC.pro to tell the Scope cards to treat the network driver as the alt...

Re: "Jumper trick" question

Thanks Dante! After looking through that thread, it looks like my old Pulsar 1 doesn't have the applicable connectors on the board (from what I remember from enquiring last year, the connectors that are there are for another purpose. I'm going to do my best to test this approach out tonight, so I'll...

"Jumper trick" question

Dear all, Work's been getting rid of a number of computers that I've found use out of a few (you know, combine the parts the work and throw away the rest...5 computers in, two out!), so I'm going to use a networking system in the system I have with the Pulsar and the two SRBs as a synth 'node'. I'm ...

Can I use Luna ADAT expansion pins to input another card?

Dear all, I'm thinking of creating a hybrid system that combines the Scope cards with a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS card, mainly so that I can make use of its SoundFont engine. It has drivers that allow me to route the synthesiser outputs to various connectors on the card, so I started wondering if I c...

Re: My brief experience with XTC mode

I agree with a lot of the responses here. Sometimes I become single-minded, and so synths became that focus. I'd definitely use Scope effect plugins, as long as I don't run out of DSP processing power! It would be wrong of me to ask when an on-going project is going to be released, particularly Scop...

Re: My brief experience with XTC mode

Ok, I've tried to use SFP mode, but I keep finding myself really wanting to use XTC. I know that in the programming world it makes less sense, but it's this approach which really drew me to the Sonic Core platform. My ideal is to use the DSPs on the cards for synthesis, and sound sources. Then, I'll...

Re: Scope 4.5 (no XTC mode), no response from ASIO

It might have just been a need to re-install Windows, or clear a file that had broken at some point, but so far everything is working. I have 8 synths in a SFP project going into the ASIO Dest plugin, so that I can still use the software to adjust the final levels. Screen-wise, it can get a bit mess...

Re: Scope 4.5 (no XTC mode), no response from ASIO

Sorry Gary, I mis-spoke. I meant the latency settings in the ULLI configuration window.

I'm trying a new BIOS version, and re-installing with ACPI turned on. I know that may seem like the wrong direction, but the BIOS I had for this motherboard was really old, at least in Asus' revision terms!

Re: Scope 4.5 (no XTC mode), no response from ASIO

Sadly I don't have access to v5, so that rules that option out. I tried just the default XTC mode (after closing SFP), and the sequencer started up and played back without any problems, apart from not hearing anything as I'd not assigned any analogue outputs. I thought it might have been an issue wh...

Scope 4.5 (no XTC mode), no response from ASIO

I've given up on XTC mode due to problems, and after re-installing my system completely I'm unable to use ASIO, even in general SFP mode. I can select the ASIO 'devices' in the software's audio configuration pages, but when I press play, nothing happens. The programs don't crash (I can close them), ...

Re: Alternative backplanes for Dell Poweredge Servers?

Well, with the Poweredge, the "motherboard" splits into a number of different sections - the front containing the CPUs and RAM, the back containing the PCI-X/PCI slots, and the IO "card". I suppose Dell made it a modular system more for the ability to replace damaged sections, bu...

My brief experience with XTC mode

I'm one of those people who like to see things first hand, and 'learn the hard way' :) Initially, using XTC mode appears as a suitable method to include DSP-powered plugins into a workflow, by inserting them into my software of choice as either VST or VSTi instances. I didn't try too hard, so I didn...

Dear all, I have received a Dell Poweredge 6650 server, which I was hoping I could make use of. Unfortunately the standard backplane included has 8 PCI-X and only 1 PCI slot. I'm just getting to know Dell's products, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there was an alternative backplane I could ge...

Re: Unable to load synths as VST instruments

I was wondering/fearing that. Is there are definitive list of working synths Gary?

BassSynthi is oen of Roy Thinnes' plugins: http://www.hitfoundry.com/issue_17/bassynth.htm - I have the same problem with Atze and DxSynth, and others...it's definitely not a "focused" problem!
