Thank you for these great pieces of information.
As I said, my goal here is to rebuild an old fashioned DAW. I really like old OS (98SE, 2k) for their snappiness with post-2000 hardware. Power limitation is also not a problem here since I already have a more modern setup with 2 Pulsar II and V7 ...

Scope versions and general purpose questions
Hi,
I plan to revive an old P4-based DAW running on win2K 32bits.
I already have a Pulsar I (which is 1st gen card right?) with a Scope v4.5 licence. I also have 2 Luna II (2nd gen card) to give extra DSP power.
Since the Pulsar I is a 1st gen card and mixing it with 2nd gen cards won't reduce the ...

Re: STS bad MIDI timing...
Wise words :)
You're probably right, let's consider these audio tools as is. After all it's a part of their charm!
For information, i've added a second Pulsar II to my setup but appart from the extended DSP ressources, I still can't achieve more than 35 voices on STS5K without having the async ...

Re: STS bad MIDI timing...
STS samplers are old fashionned and have their own limitations. I agree with that, no problem, but that's not the point.
Regarding the dropped notes issue, I was just noticing that STS3000 and STS4000 behave differently with no clear reason.
And it happens without using a DAW, inside Scope the ...

Re: STS bad MIDI timing...
Thanks you for the piece of advice.
It's true that, in the DSP-meter windows, async reaches quite high values with samplers whereas it remain low with synths or reverbs.
Should I understand that the DSP bargraph is not the only load indicator?
But what I dont clearly understand Is that some people ...

Re: STS bad MIDI timing...
Hi,
10 years later...
I'm fiddling with STS samplers and AKAI CD-ROM Sound Libraries :D .
My hardware is :
1 Pulsar II card, Scope V7, Win10 32bits, Z97 chipset (MSI Z97-G43), i5-4670 CPU, 8Gb RAM (3.4Gb usable), no "discrete" GPU).
All samplers are working pretty well after replacing KGPar2.sys ...

Scope backward compatibility
Hi!
I'm running on Scope v7.
Simple question : Is it possible to switch backward to Scope v5.1 with the same keys or should I have to find a licence ?
Thanks,

Re: Breakout cable schematic for Pulsar 2
Yes, absolutely no problem. Hope it can help other people 
I will post other picts when the cable will be made and working.

Re: Breakout cable schematic for Pulsar 2
Hi,
Thank you so much for the link!
Here is a picture of my I/O plate :
https://ibb.co/HFLVzRR
From the information in the related topic, that should be a classic I/O board, corresponding to the RCA/unbalanced breakout cable.
The proper wiring should be this one :

Breakout cable schematic for Pulsar 2
Hi,
I've purchased a Pulsar II without the breakout cable for the 26 pins high density sub-D.
I'm looking for builing my own one.
I've found this :

It seems there are 2 possible breakout cables, one with balanced XLRs and one with ...
