Sonic8 has posted synthandsampler B stock for a great price (minimax, modular III etc) Is Sonic8 a reputable dealer?

yes!

Well they are the official UK distributor for CreamWare so i'll let you decide.

Glad to hear. I placed an order last night. I truly only want the minimax and modulat III and this was the most affordable way to purchase the package. I am running two pulsar 1s and don't need a lot of polyphony. I hope to add another pulsar 1 soon. I was very impressed with the Modular I and see that the Modular III has new modules and there are many patches available for it. My jaw hit the floor when I heard the cs-15 patch. Some great stuff in there.

Hi
Sonic8 is great! Theyre on ebay also its even cheaper.

Why not add one Pulsar2 card and get the advantage of lower latency with your Pulsar1 cards - plus you'll get two extra DSP (and probably a bunch of software thrown in)?

Regarding PULSAR II.

Yes, that is a good idea to have more DSP. I have purchased my Pulsar 1s for $200.00 U.S. each and I run them on a dedicated computer. In this configutation I don't need low latency asio but I suppose it could be useful. I love all of the IOs , I have two dedicated 1 unit servers that host my Oasys PCI cards and stream them into my Creamware box. The routing and ability to mix things up by drawing virtual cables is fantastic. I am thinking that 12 dsp should be good enough for my purposes as the polyphony is not essential . I haven't come across a used creamware pulsar II under $300.00 US which is my price point. The synth and sampler B stock from Sonic8 will give me the main toys that I want but more effects would be good. I will keep searching for a pulsar II or I and might get lucky with a few added plug-ins thrown in. Thanks for the input. - Scott
