Re: XITE-1 Laptop Recommendations?

I've actually segregated the relevant services by setting the affinities such that I have the power service running on core 0 and the audiosrv running on cores 1,2&3. That seems to work really well (beyond expectation) on my backup M6800 on Win7. I'm pretty sure I tried some other configurations ...

Re: XITE-1 Laptop Recommendations?

Thanks again valis!

It's really handy to have all this relevant information documented here.

I had already implemented a persistent Process Affinity configuration using Process Lasso, which I've licenced for some years now. As I said, I will definitely be taking a look at process hacker, which ...

Re: XITE-1 Laptop Recommendations?

@sunmachine

Thanks for the links to the shuttle boxes. Either of those could be configured to perform way beyond 4gen Intel i7! PCIe integration looks promising, but depends on bracket size and orientation, I guess. Worth investigating further if I opt for a brand new PC as a replacement.

@Bud

Here's a link to the ACPI workaround:

The solution describes how it can be implemented using Microsoft Task Manager. I should imagine that it is equally valid in Windows 10, but ...

Re: XITE-1 Laptop Recommendations?

Thanks for all the info about Apple Bootcamp and low profile adapters! It really helps to draw out where the main issues can be found for each solution.

In the meantime, I have been making significant progress on the option 1 - Legacy laptop.. Dell M6600 or M6800 at least for Windows 7 or 10 ...

Re: XITE-1 Laptop Recommendations?

Thanks again for comments and suggestions. Plenty of food for thought there.

I have a space 45x45cm on my desk where I can put either a laptop or screen + keyboard + compact pc. I am not up for building rack units or cabinets as I have nowhere to put them! But thanks for the info about them, which ...

Re: XITE-1 Laptop Recommendations?

Thanks for your suggestion, Valis.

Because space is at a premium in my cramped studio, I did consider a 1u system flat on the desk with the monitor & keyboard, etc. sitting on top. I had in mind the kind of "pizza box" format pc. However, I decided that ultimately, this wouldn't be a very ...

Thank you both for your comments. I don't have Mattomat but I can see that it would be a valid and effective test of system resources.

My investigations so far had led to the Lenovo Thinkpad P71 as being the latest and greatest workstation laptop with a Expresscard slot. I.e. before the industry ...

XITE-1 Laptop Recommendations?

Hi Folks,

My circa 10 years old Dell M6800 just blew a gasket, therefore I'm looking for a suitable replacement for running a XITE-1 audio system. This could be a laptop or small form-factor PC as I have both the Sonic Core Expresscard and PCIe interfaces.

Does anyone in the Planet Z community ...

Re: MIDI loopback devices in Scope?

thats what the loopback devices in the OS are needed for. They can route any other midi to the creamware midi I/Os

I appreciate that - but it would be kind of handy to use the nice graphical SFP interface to enable MIDI routing directly to external interfaces & ports rather than via the Scope ...

It would be quite handy if you could "see" other MIDI devices that are installed in the same computer from within the SFP Routing Window - e.g. PC or USB MIDI Interfaces....

Thanks for the EMS pics Jimmy.

I was lucky enough to get a place on the postgrad Diploma in Electronic Sound course at UC Cardiff back in 1978 where they had a Synthi 100 and a few other EMSs (VCS3s and Synthi A - the synth in a suitcase).

As I'm not a keyboard player, these were great ...
