because it has PCI power due to smarter chip design on the MoBo - therefore it's important that you get a quality one. Any old BX will be superior to any modern VIA (about 10-16 times the throughput, if I remember right - subhuman has details about this) but I guess not all BXes aren't created equal ...

No preamp on the internal card either. Line level in only. Better keep your mixer

get one of those office boxes with P II 400/500 with Intel BX board from ebay for about 200 bucks, add the Radeon, a decent amount of memory and you'll be fine. For midi processing thats more than enough - and all the sample processing is done on your PowerPulsar anyway. My first Pulsar I ran on ...

Eliam, even Steinberg didn't dare to do that themselves for their TheGrand. I'm pretty shure they used Kawai's work from the MP9000. The description of the recording sessions for both instruments reads exactly the same - very impressive. There might be something about it on Kawai's site. Though very ...

may I add to the other side of price range ? EMU ModuleMania Orchestral (sf2 - one of the few better ones), basically the old orchestral protheus, about 8MB. Well tuned and versatile for it's size, not the top end of sampling technology but definitely hit-proven. At $50 it's worth a try. And Eliam ...

one addition to this: the SBLive card is said to behave very unpleasant. It tends to grab the bus as a pci master to transfer that it's doing nothing when in idle mode. There are details in discussions about the infamous 'VIA bug' (independent from Pulsar's PCI overflow) on the net.

Since I upgraded from 3.0 to 3.01 I never saw this again (2 month now). Btw it wasn't related to any of the samplers in my system, seems to be in the basic software.

in the german Keyboards Mag there has been an in depth review of this item recently. Basically the results were that ME and 2K represented intermediate states of developement and XP (as follow up to NT), already much more elaborated than 2K, would become the system of the future. The reviewer found ...

couldn't agree more
are they trying to increase their playback rate that way

the samples in the 'Horns' folder of Acid HipHop Loops comes quite close to this

Additionally a Scope system is very competetive for scientific and industrial data processing applications. They're said to make quite some earnings with these 'behind public curtain'

Can you elaborate... OK, I've no in depth information about the complete Scope developement system, so some of this may be pure fantasy: as we all know, a device is designed by connecting predefined modules for the sound calculation by the DSPs. This results in a datastream being sent to a final ...

The Pulsar/Scope system could a flexible platform for new audio algorithms. But obviously there are some tweaks in the underlying audio engine necessary which are beyond the scope of scope dev system, as all CW stuff has a certain sound. A completely new audio engine isn't that simple, to say at ...

hi Sandro, you consider yourself a pro, and obviously you are, as you're successful with your work. So you should be smart enough to realise you've made a mistake (like Ken and all of us once have - shit happens). Today it's affordable to have a 2 complete system backups, if your job depends on it ...

hi from Germany and hello on this highly inspiring forum
all CW Products are well covered in all major music stores, audio hardware specialists/bundlers and even the mail order stores here.

Display in Mac 'Open' Dialog is always related only to Mac files who have the filetype and creator info in the resource fork (the items you can modify with that tool). If a file has this info Logic (or any other app) assume that it's a Mac file specific to the version of the software running. The ...

It's not yet completed. They'll include the physical modelling of string resonance probably in a first update around may. Then it'll be THE real Grand except for the mechanics. Btw they will add the resonance stuff because of customer requests, thumbs up for a responsive company - the guys at wizzoo ...

great, that's not a bug, it's intended, a real feature. The B3 is an electromechanical device and must be quite noisy. They've included that for realism.

someone trustworthy warned of PCI bandwidth problems with these controllers in the CW forum. It's no problem imho to have the slower drive (w. Win swap file) together with the CDRom as slave on one channel and the new audio disk on the other. Distribute your workfiles over both drives (playback from ...
