SC 3DSP new DSP or old DSP?

[tomylee]

hello, the title says it all: do the currently sold 3dsp pci cards have the new sharc processors or still the old ones?

It's the same card it always has been with 3 old DSPs.

for now....

ah well, i thought if they ask 700euros it might also well be 3 new sharcs! btw there is not hint on what kind of sharcs it is, they are named equally in the same page as with the xite units - hmm.

[garyb]

hmmm...
if you just want an i/o card it's a good one. lots of i/o...

i'm betting that there will be a moderately priced card with new dsps available, but until it's announced it doesn't exist. new dsps don't make it sound any different....

[tomylee]

fair enough!
im having quite some fun with a guitar running through flexor atm, controlling the filterfrequency by an lfo whoose speed is invertedly controlled by the volume of the guitar playing, I like it.

too bad my cheap ibanez does not sound good, sounds smeared, is there a way to change the pickup system or make it sound better? im a guitar noob just started playing seriously a week ago, my fingers hurt though ,)

oh im getting offtopic, maybe we should move the topic then

if a guitar doesn't have a great peice of wood that sounds great to begin with, new pickups might help, but they won't solve the problem...

That's pretty cool there.
Lower volume has a faster LFO rate, higher volume sweeps, well depending on which waveform the LFO is using.

Attach the same output from the LFO into a Flexor Control Smoother, then into a Waldorf Osciallators' Modulation input.
Have the Mod knob set to 30, Smoother at 4 o'clock, and the start wave knob to taste.

Use wavetable 52-56 called wavetrip 1/2/3/4. These are strings of various sounds that sound glitchy when swept, but using the smoother allows these sounds to be morphed w/ smooth transitions.
At slow rates ( higher volume ) they morph really well. Its the lower volume ( fast LFO ) that will probaly still be less transitional.

I have an ibanez grx 40 e-guitar got it as a gift!

[garyb]

that'd be fine with me!

[tomylee]

heh, what did 4live mean with the wavetable oscillator, where to put its output to? and must it be connected with a freq input? playng around with the patch atm
