Wow! 360 USD for a Hammond Clone. That's awesome!
How good is it vs the XK-3 Hammond or VK-7 Roland sound wise?

I'd love to get a Minimax ASB... I'm sure that would be pure fun (until the day I can afford a real Minimoog ).

I think it's a great idea!
I would love to see that happen. I was reading a bit through the SDK sub-forums and feel like it all sounds chinese to me (and the problem is that I am not Chinese... well, not that it is a problem in itself but... well you see what I mean )

Thanks a lot Tom. That clears things up a lot to me.
However, I won't say I get it all yet. But I surely get most of it :D

So if I run Cubase on a PC, I could use audio or instrument plug-ins that take ressources from the SCOPE boards straight within Cubase? Would that work with any card or ...

The auction on ebay has exceeded 3,500$ and there is still 1 day to go.

SPOTS I am on the OAsys PCI group, I still have two oasys cards in ITOX dragon cases. Don't remember you from that group but I did some sound design for Harm Visser and Norsez. Are you still an OAsys user?

I guess last time I checked/posted on the OASYS PCI Group was something like 3-4 years ago ...

Thanks for all the feedback.

NI had improved the emulation a lot from Pro 5.2 to Pro 5.3 but I assume it is still shy compared to something like the plugs you mentioned (which I find confusing... it seems there are so many of the Prophet line to choose from: Profit 5, Pro-One, Prophet Plus, etc ...

as for me it reminds me of the old good times on the OASYS-PCI forum.
Seems to be a nice community here, with a bunch of skilled and helpful people.

Nothing looks quite like this Odyssey though
(on sale on eBay for over 2,500$).

In about a month or so, you'll realize that 4 DSP chips ain't enough and you'll want more. Which means either a used Pulsar or Scope or SRB or XTC or whatever. Then you'll eventually realize that ain't enough either and buy a full-blown Scope Pro and A16 Ultra.

I just landed in the SCOPE ...

I believe that would be for the best for both their business and the end-users.

I agree with Stardust. Business wise it would only make sense to invest so much resources for a new generation product's line vs legacy products.

And as a second thought (which should have been my first one :P ) although OSX runs on old 9500-9600 machines... to my knowledget it's impossible to run ...

congrats, 399 seems quite low indeed especially with 25 plugs (i guess SC gets something out of it... anyway).
mmh, from what I``ve read on their page the plug-in bundle is a different thing.
the plugiator seems to be a synth box which is able to run 8 different synths on its architecture.
The 25 ...

Thanks Mr Arkadin,

I am a bit confused with a couple of things you said. May you please help me with that? (it's good - I'll improve my english here).

Minimonsta is good, but i have Minimax and it wasn't any better than that.
Do you mean that Minimax was not that good, or the other way around ...

...vs the best emulation plug-ins on the market?

I don't know anything about the SCOPE modular synths (at least not yet), but I read a lot of good comments about the Prodyssey, the Modular II, etc...

I have quite a few plug-ins of vintage recreations (CS-80V, Minimoog V and Prophet V from Arturia ...

All I dont understand is why the OSX thing is so much of an issue.
Since it is not only a question of OSX driver but also the availabilty of MACs that have PCI 32 slots.

There are indeed quite a few people with old 9500 or 9600 PowerMacs that run OSX.

Hi SPOTS welcome !!!
you claimed to be newbee but you seems to know too much about our plateform,is that a new style ?
cheer
thanks for the welcome and the compliment :D ;)
Actually I like to know what I am considering to buy so I did lurk around a bit on this forum before I posted, and checked ...

that's definitely a first time seen for an OS 9 install

Thanks to all for the info and the warm welcome ;-)

As was saying Hifiboom, on one hand we are close to the Musik Messe which may behold some interesting news Scope wise...

...on the other hand the Winter Namm was just 3 weeks ago and is a much bigger event in regards with big announcements. So I ...

That sounds indeed much better than I thought.
However I then don't understand how come they are so slow in releasing OSX drivers and updating their products line.

you are right, we can't compare. In this question, I was only referring to the audio quality of the card (A/D - D/A converters, dynamic, preamps, etc...).
