Hiya...

Just bought a second had Pulsar II card yesterday...... Loving it so far !! I have about 10 years experience in electronic music production so I have managed to work out how normal mode and XTC mode work without too much trouble..... and even hacked a few plugs to work with XTC, such as STS2000P..... needless to say, I still have a ton of questions, but I will go through the wealth of knowledge here first before I ask the same things that I am sure have been asked a million times before....

I guess the only thing that I have not been able to pinpoint is, exactly what kind of performance I should be expecting out of this thing...??? so far I can load up about 4 or 5 synths and a few effects (reverb and delay mainly) and the DSP max's out... is that typical for the Pulsar II ???

Cheers,
RvR

yes, it is, it depends on the current synth, a Minimax, a Solaris or a Sonic Time works A100/P100 will love your DSP's...

Everybody is waiting for possible new advantures by SonicCore with the new much faster sharcs.

Bouncing is a good workaround, specially in electronic music.

And the good thing is, second hand cards are damn cheap these days, chaining the cards is a matter of a STDM cable, it's plug 'n play.

And as you know, the classics were also mono, from Moog to TB303...
For 16 part multitimbral quatre-mains compositions there are other solutions

I have the same card as you, 6dsp's is not alot so don't expect to run alot. As time passes you'll probably want to upgrade your dsp amount. I depend heavily on Native and UAD also so 6dsp's is plenty for me for now. If you depend mainly on Scope then you'll want to upgrade asap.

scope is absolutly not a card to say :
hey I can load xxxxxx bla bla bla synths or fx.

its about quality, what you can load sounds good.

thats the most important thing.


for me it is:

-harware fx / analog synths
-creamware stuff
-much later vst synths and fx (all in a lower league, no joking holger drenkelfort and co did a nice job , without doubt they are in a different league )

In todays world its hard to sell something with quality.
People just want the stuff cheap and don`t care about quality. Its really boring. I am bored.


I hope the new soniccore owners see the potentail of these cards, as they are, well,.............. apart the competition and sound much better.

If there comes a new card or they upgrade the old one, I really don`t care its all about how it sounds.

And........

it sounds so good!
Kinderman and Drenkelfort ..... go gogogo go gogo go

Scope totally rocks...
we are 99% close to the real thing....get the last 1% and we are there.

no one can compete.

and I am no fanboy, 'I am objective as hifiboom ever was.

the scope cards rockz and the people on this planet too.

Yo!

hubrid never sleep yo --- .

but ........

I could go and buy a new pack cigarettes... and open a fresh beer...

ah f*** (censored strunken language ).................


extrenly late. ... .. . bed.

wow... talk about a thread hijack...!

I didn't really expect so many replies so quickly.... thanks for making me feel welcome.... and just to let you know, I just cracked open my first beer for the evening, so I might be joining you in 'strunken' land soon....

anyways getting back to the point.... yes I have noticed that the sound quality of the plugins is exceptional, and I am running on 16/44.1khz ADAT into 03D.... so I imagine that 96khz would be even better..... at this point I am more than happy to run 1 or 2 synths off it and set up a few FX sends using XTC mode, the rest of the sound can come from VSTi's and outboard gear..... for this it's doing a fine job....

strunken? ............ , come on ........... lol ..........

I am somewhere inbetween 10 and 20.... lol

I mean beer.

Hi, and wellcome

I think that you will love the flexibility of the system and the quality of the devices.
With 6 DSP you can expect to mix a 10 (mono) tracks song with few effects (reverb a couple of chorus, phaser some delay and equalizers)
You can do mastering as well with a separate project and load a couple of equalizers, a psico-acoustic equalizer, a big reverb, a multiband compressor, and some more effects in the same chain.
