Can you elaborate... OK, I've no in depth information about the complete Scope developement system, so some of this may be pure fantasy: as we all know, a device is designed by connecting predefined modules for the sound calculation by the DSPs. This results in a datastream being sent to a final aud...

Display in Mac 'Open' Dialog is always related only to Mac files who have the filetype and creator info in the resource fork (the items you can modify with that tool). If a file has this info Logic (or any other app) assume that it's a Mac file specific to the version of the software running. The ap...

It's not yet completed. They'll include the physical modelling of string resonance probably in a first update around may. Then it'll be THE real Grand except for the mechanics. Btw they will add the resonance stuff because of customer requests, thumbs up for a responsive company - the guys at wizzoo...

someone trustworthy warned of PCI bandwidth problems with these controllers in the CW forum. It's no problem imho to have the slower drive (w.

I've tried out a similiar product under Win98 and was quite surprised that there wasn't a significant difference to the 'reference' physical harddisk recording I did. Can a driver be programmed that it's slower than moving mechanical parts?
