does sc has plan to do booster for xite-1 (something like xite minus preamp and those i/o)
thanks

Aren't 140 DSPs enough for you?

yes its sufficient. but ...
1. very soon big programs will come and each of them will eat 10 to 15 dsp... and we'll need booster. im sure the current programs are big ( those synths,rev,eqs)
2. i was curious to know since sc put a Xtdm slot.
Thanks

Maybe you're right.
New big valve mixers or modular systems or new synths may be very DSP hungry - who knows?

You are joking right? I really doubt that there will be such huge "emulations". I mean take Profit 5 or Minimax*prodyssey or Warp69 reverbs. They are IMO best emulation you can have on some DSP to date. And you can run them on simple "old" 15DSP card...With three card in system you are almost free. With xite which is supposed to be 10 times greater then one 15dsp you are totally free probably at 96khz too (we must wait for that info).

My point is that with good programming in using xite we will still have a lot of room for other things. Everything other (synth with huge resource hog, ) is waste of resources and example of bad programming.

That's what I wanted to say.

that 10x factor does not work unconditionally
the processing power scales linearly 'only' by 5 due to the higher clock rate of the new DSPs
the remaing 2x would apply only for such code, that takes advantage of the SIMD architecture of those chips.
which may apply quite often, but not in each and every case...
anyway, I'd rather prefer the box to be released first and then start speculating and asking for new stuff

cheers, Tom

synth which is using something very complex such as morphing resynthesis will be a resource hog no matter how well programmed it is.
i cant think of any other platform which has not had someone come along and say "now we should be able to do this which we couldnt before" and bring it to its knees
i dont know why scope will be different.

For some reason Jimmy came to mind as I read this......give him two weeks with Xite1, and this will be reality...

Booster ?

I was hoping to open the 1U and pull out a couple of DSP's I won't need and resell them.

I have had a record year in sale and purchases, some recuperation theories are being studied.
