yes, a classic - always worth to be brought to attention again

may I quote the bottom line from an interview with a CWA developer for those in a hurry ?

cheers, tom

What makes your products unique?

I think that Pulsar/SCOPE is the only system in existence that could be said to realize the vision of a complete virtual studio in which all of the equipment that one needs to produce music is provided in the form of virtual devices offering the sound quality and realtime performance of hardware devices without their drawbacks, which works smoothly in tandem with native software and which furthermore allows existing external hardware to be fully integrated into the virtual studio paradigm as if the virtual studio were a real studio - and with a good deal more flexibility and configurability than any real studio can offer, at a substantially lower cost for comparable capabilities. Did I forget anything?

Yes, the lack of OSX support

This link seems to have made it here a couple of times - unlike OS-X support

Aaah....This is true.

I like this chapter and it makes me full of hope for future releases:

What are you working on now?

Writing an interview for an online electronic music magazine! And when I'm done with that, I'm gonna go back to what I was working on before - namely, a complete overhaul of the MIDI control module that is at the heart of most CreamWare synths. In addition to size reduction, performance enhancements and a handful of bug fixes, it's also getting an assortment of interesting new features which developers of Pulsar synths both within and outside CreamWare will be able to exploit. And of course I'm working on other stuff as well, which I'm not at liberty to discuss (I don't get to use that phrase nearly often enough!) In my spare time (that's sort of a programming joke!), I'm fiddling around with a program that'll perhaps improve my chances of winning big in the lottery ....

I thought they had a Scope development rig running SFP on the 200mHz Sharcs. By definition that's promising next gen' Scope development

Might be time to pick up the pace though, as other manufacturers are rolling out new pro DAW hardware as we speak.

there IS a 200mhz scope possibilty...

ali · Post by **ali** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 11:48 am

one rumor says that there is even the possibly of faster DSP for the new generation of Scopes than the 200Mhz used for the ASB boxes........future will tell....

WOW...an 'official' rumor from Creamware

astroman · Post by **astroman** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:39 pm

considering their usual developement cycles they will of course (have to) use faster DSPs than the 200 MHZ ones, as those are most likely outdated by the time the product is released...

cheers, Tom
(just kidding)

how far in the future are we looking at exactly?

To be honest I don't believe CWA will drop development of the Scope platform anytime soon. It may be on the backburner for now, while they focus their attention on the seemingly quite succesful ASB range, but the announcement of the Dynatube plugins is proof enough that Scope is still very much alive for Creamware.

How fast are you looking at unless you're talking about changing from analog devices astro because unless I'm not mistaken They only go up to 333Mhz.

6 sharcs @ 333 sounds good to me

but their 3rd gen chips are 300MHz /1.8 GFLOPs max. There's contradictory data on the same page, so I may be wrong. Even 6 @ 300 would be twice the DSP power of a current 15 DSP Scope Pro. Twice the power of the Scope pro on a board the size of a Pulsar2 .. bring it on

So cool

I hope they are waiting patiently for the 21368 chip to be released for long term possibilities.
