My Pulsar 2 works perfect in SFP and XTC mode, but when I instal Pulsar 1, XTC mode can't be loaded.
Some kind of "XTC can't be loaded in acceleration mode" message was displayed.

What does it mean?

http://shop.creamware.de/shop2000/de/sh ... enDocument

Means: Pulsar1 has no ULLI chip and can't go below 13ms. So, no accelerated mode... Be sure to set Pulsar2 as SFP master card.

So, can I use XTC mode when I set Pulsar 2 as master card and ULLI 13ms or higher or there is no way to use my DAW in XTC mode?

If not possible, any options, something with *.ini files or some other way to baypass Pulsar 1 card, without removing Pulsar 1?

BTW, don't know how to set Pulsar 2 to be master card. I have external mixer and use both cards for ADAT IN/OUT and my Behringer DDX3216 is master and SFP slave.

I am little confused now. Is there some relationship between master/slave of external mixer with SFP, and master/slave of my system or does it mean that seting up Pulsar 2 as master in relation to Pulsar 1 is the same way like setting setting like slave related to my external mixer?

accelerated means below 13ms ULLI. Pulsar1 can have XTC with 13ms if you want.

I have eddited my message, but you are faster at0mic so please answer me again. I think that I have answer now but, please confirm my question again?

How wil know which board is master, or only change settings in cset.ini like this

[board0]
boardid=1

change to

[board0]
boardid=0 for master?

Hello my friend!

I cant asnwer you about this board0 thing because I have never done it. However, what I can tell you is that the card which is on the PCI slot with the lower number is the "master" card. For example, I have my Pulsar2 on PCI slot 4 and my XTC on PCI slot 5. That means that the Pulsar2 is the "master" card (the one who communicates with the PCI bus). If I change their order and put XTC on top, lets say XTC@slot3 and Pulsar2@slot4, or XTC@slot1 & Pulsar2@slot5 ect, then the XTC will be the "master" card.
In your case, you need to have your Pulsar2 card configured as the "master" card (because it has the ULLI and more DSP). In this way, you will have the least latency and you will be able to run XTC with low latencies (and have 6+4=10 DSP).

BTW, when we say "master" card in this context, we dont refer to the setting of master or slave on the samplerate settings.

Hope that helps!

Hi Vasili and at0mic too.

I have my Pulsar 2 in slot 3 and Pulsar 1 - slot 4, so I suppose that my Pulsar 2 is master now. SFP 3.1c is instaled and DSP meter said that I have 10 DSP. But seems that P2 isnt master because of "accelerated mode" message, so I need close instruction how to set master/slave P2 and P1 probably using cset.ini

You can tell which Pulsar is Board 0 by checking your dsp meter. It should show, under the DSP column, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6,
then
2/1, 2/2, 2/3, 2/4

If this order is reversed (the 4 dsp board is listed first), you need to add some lines in cset.ini (in Pulsar/App/Bin) as follows:

[hw]
[board0]
boardid=1

[board1]
boardid=0

Hope this works,
