Hi All,

I was just wondering since my DAW is being upgraded with a Powersampler card (in combination with a Pulsar II) how to connect the STS5000 sampler when not using XTC mode.

I know how to connect FROM the Sequencer source TO the sts, however I was wondering whether I should connect from the sts to the ASIO dest module or connect to a (big) mixer and from there go to the ASIO dest module?

Any recommended set-ups?

Cheers,

Acid

What do you want to do?
When you use Cubase for example and mix all STS tracks with the Cubase Mixer,add effects etc. then go directly into the Asio destination. Do you want to add effects and mix all tracks with a SFP Mixer then route them to it first.
But when you want to use Cubase and a SFP Mixer route them to the Asio Dest and then from the Asio Source to your SFP Mixer.

When you won´t mix every track from your STS you can route the Master Out from the STS only to save Asio Channels.

I intend to connect the outputs directly from the STS to the ASIO dest module.

This way i can use Cubase's mixer to add effects over de different outputs of the STS sampler.

So what I need to do first is re-install SFP without XTC mode enabled.

Is this correct? (I've only been using XTC mode so far, that's why I want to make sure)

Hmm, I´ve never worked in XTC mode and I don´t know if you must re-install SFP to disable the XTC mode but I don´t think so.
Try to disable the XTC mode in the Scope settings window. --> On the Fusion Platform window click on Set --> Settings and there you will find a "enable XTC mode" box.

Once you have routed the STS to the Asio Destination and everything is routed correct in Cubase, you should work with the STS and Cubase without problems.

..Should I enable the STS inputs in the VST Inputs box also?

I have to check this since I didn't try this yet. SO just have to be sure...

Appreciate any feedback.

Hi! answer is yes. all the inputs, whose you route something, in the asio dest module, you must enable in VST inputs in order to monitor each track where they're coming in cubase. As it seems you're with cubase VST, to monitor more than one asio input (asio dest in SFP) you must tick on Options/multirecord/active and enable monitoring each desired track in cubase mixer. Still, you have to choose in audio setup the way you want work like "record enable" or "tape type". (if you tick asio direct monitoring you'll probably can listen but not to record the incoming signals and enable plugin delay compensation for playback sync. However I think you'll only need all this if you want to record more than one individual out from STS in one take and/or to aplly VST effects in sends or inserts for those refered channels.
I hope I could do explain well, luck

...and reading the manuals can also help

Hi Zezappa!

Thanks for your reply. I work with SX, but I should be able to figure this out.

Coming from Holland I should RTFM. However we Dutch people are known for not reading the manual before installing and start working with stuff

Will let you know if it works.

Cheers,

Acid

You got it dude .

I only start reading when things are fncked up. Fortunately not too often.

Yeah that's right.

And even when things are screwed, I still not want to believe I should RTfM.

Do you have an answer for my question?

I don't see any reason to re-install SFP.
Just goto the settings option in SFP and untick XTC mode.

I use Logic this way: http://www.studio-sl19.com/public/routing.gif
I'm not a Cubase user, but in this case that shouldn't matter I guess.
