I think this is something which only Creamware can fix. I have two cards (Pulsar II and a Scope SRB), but because I registered the Pulsar II first, all my software activation keys relate to the Pulsar - none relates to the Scope card, so if my Pulsar II stopped working I'd be in the same situation ...

Cheers SubH/GaryB for the suggestions.

I thought I'd post an update on this problem just in case anyone else comes across it.

I actually didn't get as far as checking the STDM connections because it seemed to go away all on its own. All I did was removed a few devices and added different ones ...

No, no, no! Please don't say that. I was dreading someone suggesting a rebuild. :sad: It took me a week of builds and rebuilds to get it stable and it's only been up a couple of months.

Anyway, thanks - I tried the DSP.IDX rename thing with fingers crossed, but no dice. Shame, sounded like a great ...

If you're going to upgrade your PS unit, I definitely recommend an Enermax one and I would say go for a minimum of 350W - if not just for solving this problem, the latest ones have an adjustable control so you can make them quieter while recording.

Before I built my system a couple of months ago I ...

Thanks Gary, I'll try that if I get that error message but I would love to know more about what's causing this or if others have had the problem.

If nothing else, it's very frustrating to have paid good money for the power of 21 Sharcs and to be hitting a limit at around 15 - the difference I'm ...

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone else had error messages about reaching the DSP limit even when they still have spare DSP power left?

I'm running both a Pulsar II and a Scope SRB card (=total 21 DSP) but when I try to load a new device into an existing (quite large project) I'm getting various DSP ...

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! :grin: :grin:
You've ended hours of frustration.

I can only get a maximum of 32 into the overall polyphony field so I guess that must be the max for the STS3000 but it's doubled my power straight away.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is the LiveBar part of the new SFP software?
I haven't upgraded to that yet - I'm still on Pulsar V3.01. Do you know where/how I should check/change the overall polyphony setting in that?

Maybe I'm getting polyphony and voices confused... I thought that the limit of 16 ...

Maybe I'm being a complete idiot and overlooking something really simple here, but I can't get multiple samples to play/trigger simultaneously.

I am playing a piano riff (over midi from Cubase) which is layered in the STS3000 i.e. it's triggering 3 piano sounds at the same time (three separate ...

I had exactly the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago, although thankfully my monitors weren't fried in the process.

Do you have a anti-surge powersupply block? It's a 4/6 block connector which allows you to plug all your PC and peripherals into it to ensure that they get a balanced, or ...

Hi Braincell,

I also add my files to the sampler using the file browser (or you can click and drag them in from Windows Explorer) but I've been asking how other people were <i>previewing</i> the sounds before they loaded them into the sampler. E.g. If you open a folder of snare drum sounds, how do ...

Thanks to all for your feedback.

Seems like most MAC people have either found some kind of workaround or don't need it, but the PC people like myself are still wishing it was part of the Pulsar package...

Good to know I wasn't the only one.

Cheers,

No, that's about it. It might be useful to have a preview feature within Pulsar itself. I usually use a freeware wave editor named TWE from Yamaha to preview a sound.

I would like to know how other people are 'previewing' or 'auditioning' their samples before including them into a Pulsar project/STS-3000.

I'm new to Pulsar/Scope so maybe I've overlooked something obvious, but I've spent quite a while searching through the forums and can't find very much on this ...
