Re: SDK6

for that to work you need a dongle that converts the dsp code to compatible atoms for scope to use s/c has the dongle for it but the whole point of the gui dsp is to do the dsp in c++ in the dll file so not needing the dongle and you have the best of both host and dsp as I'll be heading in that dir...

Re: SDK6

you'll need to look at the Circuit Design part of the SDK manual. That tells you how to connect things. But for design, you'll need to go through the list of *.dsp (atoms) files, and you can general tell what they do by the name, and once you've figured out the "language" you can translat...

Re: SDK6

Thanks soren! How does one implement a FIR/IIR to modify the data stream? Do FIR/IIR codes claim or attach to a(n) atom(s) and then become available for use? I plan to code in MATLAB for some filters and then implement them. Is there any documentation concerning this process with SDK? Thanks in adva...

Re: SDK6

I am totally unfamiliar with the SDK development environment, but I getting ready to jump into it with both feet. Is the following an image of a conglomeration of atoms, and is this what happens beneath the GUI? Thanks in advance!

Re: Dell Precision Workstation & Pulsar 1&2?

From what I was told by the guy from whom I purchased my HP xw8400, the Dell Precision 690 is basically the same computer/mobo as mine. With that, you will have to sacrifice a CPU socket in order to use the Pulsar I on the 690 (possible the 390 as well). I had to hack the case (borrowed a Dremel) a ...

Re: 3dsp PCI card & tech questions?

Hey gang,

Thanks for the information and getting me back on track.

Great explanation of hyperthreading - thought it might be some goofy stuff with registers, etc. on the chip itself (all the marketing gunk about 'HT ready').

Re: 3dsp PCI card & tech questions?

Thanks garyb. :) I was eyeballing the 'Win 7 Pro (32bit)' as well. I'll run with whatever is on sale that handles 2 processors and 8+cores. Oh, since you folks are so forthcoming with such great help, I can share a few things about workstation video cards. Generally they run exactly the same chips a...

Re: 3dsp PCI card & tech questions?

Thank you Eanna. :) The HP xw8400 Bios allows one to reach fairly deep into the machine, and I've turned-off quite a few things I know I'll never (or don't want anyone else to) use through Bios already. I suppose that HP knew that their end-users would be savvy IT peeps (which I am not). I saw the B...

Re: 3dsp PCI card & tech questions?

Thanks guys for your replies. The only "sampler" I expect to use (regularly/dependently) is Superior Drummer (virtual synth in SONAR) and the largest projects on that are around 1.2Gb for the loaded library. The largest of my projects entail about 12 to 15 .wav files so I don't think I'm g...

Re: Which HP XW6*** computer to buy for 3 cards + Scope 5.1

I bought a used xw8400 for a Pulsar I and everything worked first shot. Even my N/I Guitar program started working on the xw8400. Plus there are some quad-core CPUs that can live happily on that mobo.

Re: 3dsp PCI card & tech questions?

Thank you for the rapid and informative reply Mr. Arkadin. I have Win8 on this laptop and I find the obtuse array of icons/windows/whatevers to be unnecessarily cumbersome, however, I can deal with it if it improves performance and stability for my audio box. Aren't the 3dsp cards on the next genera...

3dsp PCI card & tech questions?

Hi folks: I've been searching valiantly on the SonicCore site and here on Planet-Z to no avail. I have a few noob questions to pass through so that I may plan my system. For my needs, the SCOPE platform will be predominantly an audio tracking/mixing/fx platform with little synth use. What type of PC...
