Re: Xite-1 Word Clock

Rosendahl Nanosyncs masterclock runs BNC wordclock "startype" to RME Raydat´s WC-module, SCOPE PCI w/ Syncplate and Noah EX.

Re: XITE-1 Laptop Recommendations?

Yes, but signal amplification in that context means a higher voltage is applied, but only few current is drawn.
The „switching“ chip on the card isn‘t a power soak either, so generally it‘s non critical... imho.

Re: XITE-1 Laptop Recommendations?

I don‘t know the exact specs, but way lower than 24Watt, probably 1/10th of that amount... if at all.
It‘s simply a „logic level“ device and doesn‘t have to deal with „power“.

Re: how to set Scope 7 for recording from Z-link 8 channel BOX

The Luna Box is only visible in Scope (the PCI card controls it‘s in/out)
You‘d route the Luna Box channels to/from Scope to DAW via Asio channels.
There are different Asio type versions, some of them start with just a single io-pair.
But you can expand (or define the number of channels) if you open ...

Re: quick amplitude normalisation ?

Imho it‘s not possible to (auto) adjust gain based on peak values because it skips spectral content.
It‘s probably best to shift comparison of 2 (or more) lines of Scope effects to the end of chain and do it in CPU mode.
(afaik it‘s difficult/not possible in the DSP‘s tiny audio segments)

Re: Luna 2496 I/O box woes

Disconnect the Luna box and then route some mixer IO to the Z-Link source destination.
(to verify if Z-Link is supported at all)
Refine by using another mixer with the same procedure.
If the error remains, at least you know the Luna box probably isn‘t the main reason.
Did you check sample rate/clock ...

Re: Luna II card error and what are my options

It‘s not exactly SMD soldering with these caps. A good iron with a fine tip will do the job.

You have to clean the pads from old solder, then tin the pads with the proper amount of new solder.
Tin the new cap connectors with a good amount of solder, but not too much.

If you position the cap on the ...

To be precise Scope 4.5 only runs on Macs under MacOS9, no version of OSX supported.

For all 64bit Plugins a MacMini M1 is connected via Adat IO (Motu 828 MKII, USB) using Plugue Bidule as an audio/Midi router.
