UA Apollo

Does open scope mean XTC mode again ???
For me this is the key for the sonic core to survive in my studio.

I loved XTC mode.. now it doesn't work.. i am using scope.. but i miss XTC.. i don't want an apollo.. but dsp vst is a big plus.. save me sonic core !!!

Bring back VST integration.

last time I talked to SC about it ( maybe 2 years ago) they werent going to develope xtc mode - it seems like sc will be the providers of a dsp platform and let others do most of the programming. - But i remember the guy making parseq was making a vst plugiin that would host a dsp based plugin, but who knows how "soon" it will come

Wouldn;t mind adding an Apollo to my rig, I have no clue if it would work, but investing any more money into Native stuff just isn;t in the cards for me.
Maybe if I am in a sitting position it might be a good choice, but for live work, those new " awesome " synths I keep hearing about still sound like they coming from behind my powered monitors.
DSP FX and hardware are just like analog gear, their sound comes right from the front of the cone, and are actually damn close to snappiness of Analog envelopes thanks to Silentway Suite.
Parseq sounds like a great entree to me, perhaps it is a Parsley based Pesto sauce which goes well with Pasta, or for sandwich dipping.

ok, my apologies.

i guess i can get pretty cranky myself. i'm going to put myself down for a nap after my spanking.

This is what makes of you a gentleman dear friend Gary, I mean, the apology, not the spanking of course…

[next to nothing]

blast from the past

vst integration means easy automation, easy automation with sonic core plugz, rolls, like really rolls, cc midi automation is clunky.. working with students in the age of ADD, means we must adapt..quality costs money..but when quality costs time, your looking at the most expensive commodity we have..

i have my fingers crossed for open scope.. we can only hope.. vst integration is the key to the great door of success for sonic core.. long live scope.

I think ParseQ will do all that XTC mode did and more, no need for XTC for ParseQ users, as all DSP and VST power and plug-ins will be accessible.

[siriusbliss]

Yes, I think the whole reason for Parseq development in conjunction with Scope 6 is to build a seamless layer between Scope and VSTs to enable a better VST plugin-esque functionality rather than the hobbled (including UAs problems) integration with all the various DAWs out on the market right now.

Same goes for getting CopperLAN integration for even more flexible routing schemes.

That XTC stuff is SO last Century

Wow.The future is not so grey.

Sonic Core mention VST here .. http://sonic-core.net/joomla.soniccore/ ... 85&lang=us

Then it is here..

This is great news, I will start to save for a xite.
But I wont buy until it is 100% working..

Great Great news.
I don't have to buy UAD for DSP VST !

[lunaorbit]

one thing i have noticed is Apollo has plenty of inputs, Xite is quite limited with no spdif and limited analog..
this is a little drawback, maybe the Xite 2D will have more direct inputs?

forward the future

[hubird]

and at least two Adat ports more...

There is AES/EBU which is exactly the same as SPDIF - you'd just need a little converter box if you had an SPDIF source.

There's no MIDI on the Apollo - a much bigger omission for me.

I didn't know this about AES/EBU into spdif, sounds good to me, I will see how much these converters will cost,
Apollo has no midi..i didn't see that..a big drawback.

I use the Solaris SP/DIF out to a Hosa ODL 312 for XITE-1 AES/EBU into Solaris at 48k for incredidle sound quality, 96k works also in a dual config, but the difference between 48k and 96k is only noticalbe on a Scope as you can see very slight smearing, the 96k is sharp focuse, but then the sound difference cannpot really be heard. But I suspect that is due to Solaris already being processed at 96k.
Recently experimented witj Rolamd Kuit's dual Plate X feedback tricks and used some different modules but it made the Plate X come to life with motion, really nice sounding Reverb. Just can't use tha many of the STW stuff, but the same tricks in Master Verb Pro X is darn close with more obvious Early Relflections, so these dual feedback niceboy/Kuit tricks are pretty cool.
I also use the Mic Pre inputs for hardware analog rackmount synths, the headphones out for a custom IEM mix.
Then there are plehy of 18-30 dollar 2 ch ADAT converters for hardware FX, etc.
Just look at www.monoprice.com for domw nifty converter boxes before giving up hope.
