Hey, I'm interested in this thread as well, I have a very similar system that is exhibiting very similar problems. Other users are having great success on their nearly identical systems. It's a valid question to me what the differences and resolutions are. I skip over lots of posts that are of no in...

gustav, Sorry, I missed your question to me regarding the disabled devices in my BIOS. Working back from your list, I disabled SMBUS (this is mainboard/system-monitoring circuitry that is used by Remote Admins), the USB2 Controller (garyb thought that was okay though), the PRO/1000 Network Conection...

garyb, I'll have to check again, but I've taken great pains to make sure there are no midi feedback loops, and to remove any path for active sensing into Scope. I thought that most of the Scope midi problems related to the physical midi connectors, which I no longer use. I'll re-check tonight, if my...

Scopers, I am having similar problems to gustav. My setup is a bit different, I have a Pulsar2 card in Slot2, and a ScopePro in Slot3 (the slot furthest from the video card). I am able to get 13 Masterverbs (error on the 14th). I have abandoned the creamware midi ports due to crashing the buffers an...

PZers,
Just a reminder, this is a great deal, and a way to support PlanetZ. With all the new users, maybe they have missed this opportunity.

Thanks for the replies. I ordered this board based on AndreD's reply yesterday as I would really like to have it by this weekend...I'm a bit nervous now after garyb's report but I'm reassured that Andre has been running this extensively. I have a Scope card so I'll probably end up using slot3. I wil...

AndreD,

I'd love to! Have you done some testing with this one? If so, do you mind posting your set up, esp. PCI slot for scope card? I haven't ordered one yet, as I am waiting for some user confirmation.

Thanks,
Cory

garyb,

Have you had a chance to set up this system with the allkeys file yet? I think this is the way I would like to go. When you do, can you post info about the PCI slot that you used?

Thanks,
Cory

It's a tough decision between Novation and CME! I'm not sure if the minor differences in features account for the difference in price (hence, CME wins). A question for the CME users: How are you handling the Active Sensing? The manual doesn't describe how to turn it off...do you just filter it in Sc...

Thanks garyb. You're hardware expertise is highly appreciated! I'm not exactly married to the tower, unless it's a common-law thing (it sank it's claws into me years ago). I started when scsi was the only viable option. Are you recommending the d865perll as an optimal choice, or is that still with t...

I'm about to build a new box for my Scope, which I run from a Magma PCI chassis (I can easily move the Scope between a laptop and the desktop for different situations). I have an older P4 2.4GHz northwood processor. Each of the boards listed on this thread are candidates, but I am leaning towards th...

Thank you funkysam and Bifop for the quick replies! The b2003 features are very interesting.

Bifop, do you mean the Novation ReMOTE?

I know that Creamware has the A16 and ultraA16. And of course there are the various ADAT recorders. I have been using an old Alesis QS8, which has a 4-channel ADAT output. I was never very happy with the on-board sounds until I bypassed the the DAs and went straight into my Scope. They sounded much ...

My much-used Alesis QS8 keyboard has finally succumbed to old age. I am planning on getting a smaller keyboard/midi controller while I attempt to repair it. Eventually I will replace it with another piano-style controller, but I like the idea of having a more mobile option. I would like Vel. and aft...

Ah memories, memories (and lack there of!). I started with V1.0.11. I was a refugee from the Digidesign abandonment of the old AMIII card (they are still not forgiven, even though I am MUCH happier with my Scope!). I'd forgotten that PlanetZ started so early. I also remember the various incarnations...

I think the spirit of this gift is being lost! This is a thank you for John Cooper, not the users of PlanetZ, or any other site.

Well, I don't have strong feelings for the animation, but I do greatly appreciate PlanetZ! I am a long-time Pulsar/Scope user (from Jan.
