Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

In case anybody's still following, I think I've come up with a reasonable solution which is much more economical. It seems that the MOTU Traveller MK3 (firewire) interface should work nicely as an aggregate device with the ULN-8. This will add 16 channels ADAT (or 8 channels S-MUX @ 96 Khz) to my ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

I don't fully understand all of the technical stuff, but get the general idea.

For studio work if there is a solution using Ethernet which adds a bit of latency, but is glitch free and will enable me to route in both directions from the Mac to the standalone PC with Scope/Xite-1 that would be fine ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

Yeah, I'm wondering if this has not been done because it's not technically possible, or just the software doesn't exist yet... It seems the VE Pro "nearly" does this, but obviously the main intention is for streaming the VI's, so I guess they've got no interest in implementing it...

Just having a ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

Ok, I've found out using VE Pro probably isn't gonna work for me, e-mailed Vienna support and got the following reply:


Unfortunately, what you are trying to achieve is currently not possible with Vienna Ensemble Pro.

The main purpose of the program is in fact to host Virtual Instruments, be it ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

This one is addressed to XITE-1/4LIVE...

Just reading up a bit more about the Vienna Ensemble, trying to get my head around whether it will actually do what I'm hoping it will do... In the review I'm looking at, it states that "audio inputs are not available in network mode" (only in standalone ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

To reply to doktorfuture...

The e-mail I got from Sonic Core was yesterday!! It said "we have to finish the 64 bit drivers first, then it may take 6 to 12 months for the OS X support" (paraphrase rather than an exact quote). I do agree with you that I think they'd sell more Xite-1's if they did ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

Yo, I may have had my head in the sand for a few years (not having done many updates for a while), but this could be the answer for me. I had no idea it was possible to stream audio & MIDI from a mac to a PC (I've used MIDI over LAN before but that's it).

I'd heard of Vienna Ensemble, but assumed ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

Actually, thinking about it a bit more, my main bottleneck is lack of I/Os on the main system (MBP + Logic + ULN-8), so this may not help me all that much. Just trying to think of other ways around it, like perhaps adding a cheaper Metric Halo Card to the ULN-8 just to gain ADAT I/O so I can hook up ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

Wow, that sounds like a very cool rig! Just wondering firstly what is the VAT issue in terms of ordering from Sonic Core?

I was a little disappointed to get an e-mail back from Sonic Core saying that they will not be working on the Mac OS X support for a while, they also mentioned that there is ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

Ok, thanks, I'm still not 100% sure... I'm prob just being dumb here. I think my confusion might arise from not ever having used Scope on the same machine as ANY sequencer, just as an audio card for Gigastudio on a dedicated machine.

Still wondering if there is a way around this. If Soundflower ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

Hello, I'm not setting up the new studio for about a month, but I have a quote and will be purchasing the ULN-8 with the DSP license. I've done a lot of reading up on this interface, and heard some classical recordings made with the ULN-8 which sounded really great (I think that was through a link ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

I'm a little confused again now... Because previously I thought you were saying I could plug the Xite-1 into the Express Slot on my MBP, and then route audio to/from Scope using software modules within the Scope routing page. Now I "think" you might be telling me I can't do that, and in fact will ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

Thanks for the insight, it's good to hear from somebody who's used both systems for longer than I have. I used Scope from 2004 up until last year, but have only used Kyma for about a year. But it's good to know I'm kind of on the right track, as I said in earlier post I don't wanna compare the ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

Hi guys, thanks again for more detailed responses!

Gary I see what you mean now, I understand the Scope stuff has really low latency, I used two Scope Pro cards for several years on a dedicated machine (which was hooked up to a Pro Tools HD rig via 24 channels of ADAT, I used hardware inserts in ...

Gary, not 100% sure what you mean by "realtime connection to the real world"?. My main interface on my Macbook Pro with Logic is going to be the MH ULN-8, which has very flexible routing and features (including surround monitor control etc.). It also has 8 preamps or ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

OK, when it gets nearer the time (in a couple of months) and I'm still considering Xite, I'll try and check for more detail about running synths etc. at 96Khz. Because I will definitely be running projects at this sample rate, and since I'd mainly be using the synths that's a bit of a deal-breaker ...

Re: Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

Thanks for all the responses, I was probably overly harsh in saying there were "no updates" at all... I didn't realize the Xite-1 wasn't being advertised yet, as it does seem to be available at some online stores, and obviously quite a few people have one already? One aspect I didn't consider is I'm ...

Review of X-ite 1? Coming back to Scope?

I saw the other thread regarding the German review, but have been unable to find any review in English. Why is this, hasn't the Xite been out for quite a while now? All I could find on the forum was an argument about the legality of translating/posting the review in question (would buy the magazine ...
