Ok, I picked up a 15 dsp (I understand they are called 14dsp now as 1 dsp is for overhead) which is first generation, I have 6 dsp pulsar II and 4 dsp pulsar 1. The system is going to be used primarily for synths and effects and will be used standalone not for asio. Am I going to experience a lot of stdm connection errors with this configuration? Gurus please feel free to comment or suggest.
Presently I have a PULSAR II 6 dsp card and two PULSAR 1 4 dsp cards in the computer and they work fine for my application.
Scope 14 DSP Version 1 with Pulsar II and Pulsar I -
You seem to be correct. I installed it today, I put stdm cable across all three cards and a second stdm cable between the 15dsp board and the 6 dsp board leaving the middle stdm insert empty as recommended. Sees 25 dsp now more than enough power considering I have a second box with 10 dsp in it as well.

but that doesn`t matter as you have a type II card also and you don`t wanna use ASIO.
I did notice one issue, when it reloads projects which are say 85% or greater dsp load, I sometimes need to quit scope and reload again before it can prooperly allocate the resources across the dsp. Is this normal?

The STDM is just a bypass highway for inter DSP communication.
So if you have less STDM either it has to go via PCI bus or you run into overload/resource not available but no errors.
Hifi is right. ULLI comes with a second gen card in all 1st and 2nf gen combinations.
Thanks guys, really appreciate the feedback. This is a nicely moderated group .... reminds me of the Cubase VST mac forum which was always a great place to visit. Enjoying the extra DSP.
quote="stardust"]yes this is 'normal' the reallocation of DSP resources is a tricky thing obviously.
Often it is enough to reduce voices, but it takes a while to fondle through the pop ups.[/quote]

SPOTS I am on the OAsys PCI group, I still have two oasys cards in ITOX dragon cases. Don't remember you from that group but I did some sound design for Harm Visser and Norsez. Are you still an OAsys user?

Seems to be a nice community here, with a bunch of skilled and helpful people.
I guess last time I checked/posted on the OASYS PCI Group was something like 3-4 years ago (duh!). (I had a different nickname at that time).Scotty wrote:SPOTS I am on the OAsys PCI group, I still have two oasys cards in ITOX dragon cases.

I also have 2 OASYS PCI boards.
Now you say it, Norsez sounds familiar to my ears
Very good, creamware is what oasys promised to be but I have made such an investment in creating sounds for my Oasys , I won't let them go. I got sucked into the Creamware vortex a year ago December and now have 6 cards in two rigs. Love this platform. K'Nex for synth geeks. I agree the OAsys PCI forum was and is still a friendly place to go, I get regular email and contribute where I can. Harm Visser was the chap that released those physical models and is a good friend of John Bowen who hosted his plug-ins for while. In fact it was that link that got me reading about creamware. At any rate , nice to run into an old OAsys PCI user here.

15 dsp actually has 15 dap and 14 dsp has 14 dsp and no ram
new oasys super expensive, is just a crappy prntium 4 PC running a foxconn motherboard.Scotty wrote:Very good, creamware is what oasys promised to be
it doesnt even come with the awesome sounds i used to have in my oasys PCI,
i cant find great modeling anywhere
i have anti modelling though with the VG-99
I agree that the physical modelling is oustanding on the OAsys, For $299.00 you can pick up a massive library of oasys synths ( well over 100 )from Harm Visser everthying from tibetan bowls to reeds, gong explorers. This is a a powerfull collection and the main reason I will not give up on the long dead platform. Harm does synth design for the Tassman and other PM platforms. Harm's oasys physical modelled synths cover a huge range of sonic possibilities. I often wonder why pm synths are not common on the creamware platform.
