Can I add an extra ASIO in order to load NI B4 and FM7?

Hi, I wish to load NI b4(Stand alone) and FM7 (Stand alone) using my luna II but the asio can be used only once so can I add an extra ASIO in order to use both at the same time?

You'd better use an VSTi host application. (Logic Audio, Cubase SX etc...)
I think there are lighter programs (that only host VSTis) as well if you already have a sequencer, but I don't know any by name.

enb141 - Just in case you didn't realise this, In your routing window on the Luna you'll see the ASIO source and destination modules with 2 availible channels. Right click on the module of your choice (source/dest) and increase the number of ASIO channels (1-32). When you reload your NI gear, head to the ASIO selection on the output, and you'll see that you've got more outputs to route the sound with. I usually assignt different instruments to pairs of ASIO, (eg 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, etc) for a stereo set. Then in the routing window under my ASIO Dest module I can route the individual pairs where ever I need them (efx, modular, ASIO Source, etc). To some it's strange, but it works for me - it may help you!

I know about routing but as I know you can't load more than 1 ASIO even in SFP outputs or can I?

can I use more ASIO than one (as AUDIO inputs outputs)?

No you can't. SFP's ASIO drivers are not multi-client, so only one application at a time can use SFP's ASIO drivers. Although some companies are offering soundcards that support multi-client ASIO drivers, I think ASIO originally wasn't designed for multi-client use.

As others already suggested, a VSTi host is the only way if you want to use FM7 and Pro53 with low latency at the same time with your Creamware card.

good luck,
vincent

there is also a free vst host called
simple vst host (SVH.EXE)
you can find it by diggin into the http://www.kvr-vst.com site

Will creamware create ASIO multi-client driver?

Yup - I want multi client asio - gets my vote.
