Yes. In fact you can link up to three of any combination of CreamWare cards. You will need an STDM cable from CW or your local CW dealer.

Looks like you'll be able to use some of those bigger synths after all

I would pull off the chips of the second Luna with a screwdriver then glue them on the first one, then you've got a pulsar II and save a PCI port !!

Who needs STDM ?

Offered ? now this is a friend !!

As for the how-to question, have you browsed the appropriate PDF ?
I remember have read something about it ...

I'll dig the question when a friend will offer me a scope SRB !

oioi, congrats for your expansion. But I wouldn't suggest buying third Luna, because then you have maxed your DSP. Maybe you will want more DSP, like a PowerPulsar

Also, (power)pulsar is a good buy because of it's fx and synths.
Not to mention a Scope/SP...

sure it's fine to use both.you can also use both i/o if you want.actually it's best to have a bigger card over two smaller ones(less phase issues from the physical distance between chips and less chance for error),but multiple cards work great.i have a pulsar1(4 dsp)a pulsar1 srb(4)and a power pulsar(15) everything works great.

i would suggest that for best results,you should seriously consider making this computer an audio only machine.computers that are good for typewriters and internet(500mhz-1ghz)can be had for $0-$300 these days,so....

don't install antivirus programs if you don't need to and only run them when you must if you do have a need for them.

two harddrives,one for data(music) and one for programs is a very good idea.repartition those drives reformat and install xp(one step) and then:

1.install mobo drivers.
2.enable dma or,if it's an intel mobo install the intell application accellerator(iaa) available on the intel site.
3.install cw card(s).
4.install cw DRIVER ONLY.
5.install any other hardware and drivers.
6.tweak windows.(some hints here: http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... forum=3&80
7.install sequencer.
8.install sfp.

should be perfect.

please avoid cracks and warez.(if you want your computer to work right)
