I don't remember they made a demo version which requires no Scope hardware !
But I bought my first Creamware board when STS sampler 2000 was released. The Scope demo is maybe older than STS 2000...

I didn't know that, either! Which version was the demo?

Had my personal time travel experience today, because I had this in the mail.
A brand new I/O Plate, still sealed! Kind of strange actually... like a parcel from the past that needed ten years for delivery...

A good read, thanks!
I was teaching at the Koorenhuis and I ordered a scope card back in 1994 or 96 for the studio.

Excellent article! Four little words from it: "very fat and warm". 11 years have passed and those words have now become the benchmark to achieve.

Here are some screenshots from 1999 :)

I'm only a Scope user for 6 years now, purchased one of the last PCI cards from Sonic Core. So this way way before my time, and out of my budget back then.

Damn, Scope looked good way back. Whoever did the UI did an excellent job :)

Wish you had the option to switch left and right for the connections on the modules.
That would organise the project layout much more clear.

I miss those early Creamware days. It was an exciting vibrant growing company at one point with some very cool products that worked extraordinarily well. My studio started with TripleDAT in fact.

I think I saw a Triple DAT sell for mere $50 on eBay recently...

Nice ! It's funny to see old Scope look ! The gui was not so bad at all ! I remember with windows 98, I just had my first computer and didn't know nothing about it and home studio ! And it was hard to make all working ! I can't remember how many time I format my 6Go DD after bad handling.... But I never gave up ! :D

Thanks for the screenshots !

I remember paying around $2K for TripleDat (with the Osiris add-on package). That was the original 4 channel card. I actually started my recording studio with that product. When the Luna boxes (and later the A16) hit the market I gradually ended up with a working 16 channel studio that suited my needs perfectly. Sadly, TripleDat was left to languish and I ended up buying Sonar and now Samplitude. At the time though it was pretty state of the art. No MIDI just multi-track audio. The entire program fit on two or three floppy disks lol.

It was a steep learning curve for me. Just trying to install the program was an adventure. I remember a lot of BSOD's and CD coasters lol When Pulsar dropped I remember going to a Creamware demo at a local music store one evening. The Creamware guy had nothing but trouble getting Pulsar to run correctly on his puter. But eventually he was able to show off some of the synths and that seemed to please a lot of the attendees. Originally I just thought Pulsar was a synth product. They certainly were pushing the synth capabilities.

I still have (that version of) TripleDat on the shelf, TDAT16 card, original A16, programs on diskettes
could be installed in a couple of hours, but the DOS file names really suck... :D
(the native plugins were way ahead of their time, except reverb iirc)

cheers, Tom

Yeah, three disks. Those were the times. :)
