Can Scope's WAVE source work in XTC without project loaded?

Post by ARCADIOS »

is it possible to use wave source of scope, without opening a scope project, and XTC mode enabled. ???

I don't use "xtc" mode so this is from memory several years ago:

When "xtc" mode is loaded through your sequencer, it is a specific scope project that it loads in the background
located in the scope folders.
Perhaps you can alter this project and see. I think yes it is possible

For the "xtc" mode to be loaded, a sequencer with the scope asio driver should be loaded.

which means that only asio source works? not wave source?

No this means that
a. you need a sequencer with asio to activate the "xtc" mode
b. you should alter the "xtc" project (keep a backup of the original)
and add there the wave drivers. Route these to asio in, or to the output
c. If you route the wave driver to the asio in, you should monitor it through your daw,
otherwise if it is mixed alongside asio it will work as opposed

also-
there is no 64bit XTC mode.
also-
XTC mode is the crippled version of Scope mode, not vice versa.

Yes as GaryB says "xtc" mode is not recommended.

pros:
a. you can see and automate parameters as you do with vst plugs
b. only one project
c. Perhaps better midi timing

cons:
a. every scope effect you load will add latency and quickly consume "communication" channels
(several effects loaded in a chain will add considerable latency)
b. if you use the multi-fx so to minimize the communication you won't be able to automate parameters.
c. no routing window

just to specify.... I wanted it to work just for audio files playback...not for making it all in the sequenser. For Creating music...I do it always with scope➕sequenser in asio communication that works for me best for all of my projects...
This is another topic,that I will probably start....about projects for different occasions..

So you can't do "just audio files playback" with your current setup?
