new scope user, just saying hi...
Hiya...
Just bought a second had Pulsar II card yesterday...... Loving it so far !! I have about 10 years experience in electronic music production so I have managed to work out how normal mode and XTC mode work without too much trouble..... and even hacked a few plugs to work with XTC, such as STS2000P..... needless to say, I still have a ton of questions, but I will go through the wealth of knowledge here first before I ask the same things that I am sure have been asked a million times before....
I guess the only thing that I have not been able to pinpoint is, exactly what kind of performance I should be expecting out of this thing...??? so far I can load up about 4 or 5 synths and a few effects (reverb and delay mainly) and the DSP max's out... is that typical for the Pulsar II ???
Cheers,
RvR

yes, it is, it depends on the current synth, a Minimax, a Solaris or a Sonic Time works A100/P100 will love your DSP's...
Everybody is waiting for possible new advantures by SonicCore with the new much faster sharcs.
Bouncing is a good workaround, specially in electronic music.
And the good thing is, second hand cards are damn cheap these days, chaining the cards is a matter of a STDM cable, it's plug 'n play.
And as you know, the classics were also mono, from Moog to TB303...
For 16 part multitimbral quatre-mains compositions there are other solutions

scope is absolutly not a card to say :
hey I can load xxxxxx bla bla bla synths or fx.
its about quality, what you can load sounds good.
thats the most important thing.
for me it is:
-harware fx / analog synths
-creamware stuff
-much later vst synths and fx (all in a lower league, no joking holger drenkelfort and co did a nice job , without doubt they are in a different league )
In todays world its hard to sell something with quality.
People just want the stuff cheap and don`t care about quality. Its really boring. I am bored.
I hope the new soniccore owners see the potentail of these cards, as they are, well,.............. apart the competition and sound much better.
If there comes a new card or they upgrade the old one, I really don`t care its all about how it sounds.
And........
it sounds so good!
Kinderman and Drenkelfort ..... go gogogo go gogo go
Scope totally rocks...
we are 99% close to the real thing....get the last 1% and we are there.
no one can compete.
and I am no fanboy, 'I am objective as hifiboom ever was.
the scope cards rockz and the people on this planet too.

wow... talk about a thread hijack...!
I didn't really expect so many replies so quickly.... thanks for making me feel welcome.... and just to let you know, I just cracked open my first beer for the evening, so I might be joining you in 'strunken' land soon....
anyways getting back to the point.... yes I have noticed that the sound quality of the plugins is exceptional, and I am running on 16/44.1khz ADAT into 03D.... so I imagine that 96khz would be even better..... at this point I am more than happy to run 1 or 2 synths off it and set up a few FX sends using XTC mode, the rest of the sound can come from VSTi's and outboard gear..... for this it's doing a fine job....

Hi, and wellcome
I think that you will love the flexibility of the system and the quality of the devices.
With 6 DSP you can expect to mix a 10 (mono) tracks song with few effects (reverb a couple of chorus, phaser some delay and equalizers)
You can do mastering as well with a separate project and load a couple of equalizers, a psico-acoustic equalizer, a big reverb, a multiband compressor, and some more effects in the same chain.
