Re: is Intel integrated graphics (non F cpu) worth it ?

My Lenovo W540 and 541 workstation laptops,- running Win10 and 11 Pro x64,- both use iGPU of Intel i7 mobile quad (Haswell) and a dedicated graphics card in harmony.
No issues up to now.

Re: New MPE MIDI Controller from Aodyo

Thx,- this is interesting ´cause, like their other products, it will be available from Thomann (reseller) sooner or later. I´d wish there came a 4-octave version !

Re: Luna2 + Pulsar2 + A16 Ultra + Apogee Mini-Me, master/slave

I was hoping that the A16 could take sync down both Z-link and ADAT, as it's ultimately the same source! I didn´t say it´s impossible, instead just only cannot imagine. No need to try up to now and sice using a BNC master clock device. So, you´re the one,- and please post the result here. :) Bud

Re: Luna2 + Pulsar2 + A16 Ultra + Apogee Mini-Me, master/slave

I wonder, would it be possible to use one z-link (->Luna2) and one ADAT (->Pulsar2) connection on the A16U to use its 16 channels? This would then leave one ADAT connection on my Pulsar2 left, and another 8 channels available if I bought an UltraGain or something? And then ? - A16U is synced to wha...

Re: Luna2 + Pulsar2 + A16 Ultra + Apogee Mini-Me, master/slave

I have a system containing a Luna2 and Pulsar2 connected via STDM, with and A16Ultra connected via ADAT, giving me 16+2+2 channels. I've been offered an Apogee Mini-Me (2003), which is a Mic preamp and ADC with spdif out. I would like to use this with one of the SPDIF ins on the Scope cards to give...

new PCIe to TB (4) expansions available

https://www.sonnettech.com/product/echo ... rview.html

Should work w/ any laptop offering at least 1 true (up to 40GB/sec) Thunderbolt port.

Not cheap,- but might be interesting for XITE-1 users.

Nice way of working Bud thank you ! I don't use a sampler but I use the daw as a sampler. Well,- that´s what a DAW is when recording or rendering VST/AU devices to audio.

I still can't achieve more than 35 voices on STS5K without having the async error message. Better than nothing ! :wink: In opposite to STS-3K, STS-5K uses the host´s CPU ressources much more,- at least because of realtime time streching abilities !

STS samplers ...Bud, what were the capabilities of your system in terms of max achievable polyphony with several STS instances loaded ? No idea. I don´t use several instances. I´m not "that samples guy" anyway and use the SCOPE synths as also all my hardware much more. For playing back AK...

Re: STS bad MIDI timing...

... STS Samplers ... If Scope is primarily a sampling workstation for you, it is likely best to use it as you would an outboard sampler and tie it to a separate machine hosting your heavy DAW projects to keep MIDI tight. ^^^^^ THIS !

Re: XITE as an upgrade path for PCI owners

Quick question as I still want to start using my XITE-1 that has been sitting in a box for 10 years, but scared of all the IT and build-your-own-PC postings. A recent post by Valis mentioned using a Thunderbolt-to-PCIe box. So, will this work? If I use a modern PC with thunderbolt, and connect it t...

Yes I do have the keyfiles, I just found them!

Will a Scope 4.0 keyfile work for scope 4.5?
Scope 4.5 devices, also optional ones, work w/ v4.0 keys.
I dunno if you will need a v4.5 key for SCOPE application itself.
IIR,- i guess not,- but I´m not sure.

Re: XITE as an upgrade path for PCI owners

So one a16 synced to zlink and the other to Adat? Will the xite support it? With XITE you can use everything I/O simultaneously, which in principle, is the same like it is w/ the PCI cards. When XITE is the master, "word clock" (OUT) is transmitted via Z-Link, ADAT, AES/EBU and BNC. So, c...

according to the manual, it´s 12 VAC, 1.5A !!!

I use 2 A16U and one of the PSUs is exactly this,- the other is a (norway) MASCOT PSU 12 VAC, 1.6A.

Both work like a charme w/ Z-Link and a 3-card PCI system as well as XITE-1 (w/ a blackface one)
