First and foremost (and before I even think about using Cubase)
I want to use my Yamaha SW1000XG purely for playback of MIDI files and the PS1 for everything else such as Windows system sounds, .wav player/recorder, mp3 player etc. etc.Can the PS1 be used as a standard Windows soundcard in this way?
In Control Panel/Sounds & Multimedia/Audio I see two choices for Sound Playback & Recording - Creamware Play/Rec 01 and 02.
Am I right in thinking that Play/Rec 01 would select the analogue In/Out and Play/Rec 02 would select the SP/DIF In/Out?
If I select either and click on Volume it gives the error "There is a problem with your sound hardware. You may install mixer devices from the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard in the Control Panel"
If I click Advanced I get another error "DirectSound settings not available"
Either way I get no mixer available nor Volume Control in the Tool tray
Irrespective of the above problems when (if) I finally get it to work do I have to load SFP just to use the PS1 as a standard Windows soundcard?
I also want to connect my PowerSampler 1 to my mixer. The mixer takes 6.35mm mono jacks.
I have no problem with the output from the PS1 as a stereo jack->2 x mono jack adaptor or cable will be required to feed both L & R inputs on the mixer.
However into the PS1 stereo jack input I want to feed a mono output from my mixer.
Can I just connect a single mono-mono jack from the mono out on the mixer?
WIll this feed both L/R inputs on the PS1 at the same time?
I would prefer to do it this way as it then keeps things simple until I can get my head round everything!
Also regarding the DSP loading - when I load SFP3.1c I load the STM1632 mixer, STS3000 sampler and I see I also have ASIO source and destination loaded amongst various outputs.
I also load the DSP meter so I can keep an eye on loading etc.
Now 2 of the 3 SHARCS are showing @ 75% load - the third is showing 10% load.
Will this loading increase when I start to load up samples into the STS3000 or does the current loading reflect the max usage of the sampler module?
I would like to buy the Vocodizer but I guess with the DSP usage as it stands I will not have enough horsepower - according to the info in the Creamware shop...
Anybody who uses the Vocodizer care to comment what cannot be done with the 3 DSP PS1 and how it performs?
Might just have to trade in my PS1 for the Pulsar 2
- am I right in thinking this does all the PS1 does (and more) but with twice the DSP horsepower?Thanks & regards,
