I found on older interfaces Z-link is used to connect the card to the box or box to the card as it were but how does it work now?

at least you don't have rampant gun crime

Sorry, thanks for saying that.

I read somewhere that one of the cards even though it has 7 dsp's the co. says 6 as 1 is reserved or something, minor detail maybe.

Most interesting and well put.

So even though there might be 3 + 6 DSP from new and old generations respectively, since there is an older gen. card in the mix in terms of scaling the absolute power would be equivalent to have 7 DSP's.

Then I suppose the question is, does the software show this ...

OK, I must ask, how is this so?

By the subject title, I am asking; if Scope 4.5 for example is registered to a Luna II card but not a Pulsar I, are there computer groups like UAD, or is it that both cards must be together in order to use them with the latest software.

Thank you all for the most excellent answers thus far.

Hey there all.

Now I understand the best way to use it and indeed I will use it this way at some point, this is a given, it all supports Wordclock so no problem if there is S/PDIF, is there s/pdif on a pulsar 1 btw?

I understand Scope's strength and I'm never one to say this way or that way is the ...

Thanks,

I appreciate the information.

So are you saying that using ASIO to buss out of cubase means I'd be running two distinct applications in terms of memory, what I mean here is the Task manager under windows would show two distinct applications?

About XTC Mode, latency is fine as I'm only ...

Thank you.

So some of these synths won't even run? Not even a drum synth made by sonic core on a Home card (pulsar 1).

Doesn't seem to make sense.

So can it at least run a 32 channel mixer or is that asking too much as well?

Also, do these mixers in general function inside or outside of a music ...

the pulsar1 is inferior in every way(though i have one and still use it), to the later cards. more s/tdm busses=more possible connections between cards. 1 works very well, however.

but like all these things, it will continue to be supported regardless, as the only thing which happens is certain ...

Hi siriusbliss,

I'm sure I will be even using older hardware.

I'm looking at different pictures of old and new hardware and I see that the Pulsar 1 for example, has 1x TDM but the Pulsar 2 has 2x TDM.

Could you tell me what the difference is and why?

Thank you very much for your time.

Hi siriusbliss,

This is how I intend to use the pulsar actually, so long as its supported in the long run but to begin with naturally I plan to use it in DSP only mode because as it would appear there are many more synthesiser plug ins available on the Scope platform than any other and if I can ...

x-cite would be 1.1

i can't type much more, it's too painful, this is the weakness of the platform, explaining what it is.

I understand and painful it is but this is the problem when such bad marketing is employed, ie not your fault but the parent company.

Anyway, I found this on the website:

http://www.sonic-core ...

This might all be true but the history of the "company" suggests conflict and dislocation.

So, I know that there is some debate about this so-called XTC mode but simply because it has i/o doesn't mean it needs to be used this way especially since as stated previously the mixer is not a replacement ...

Thanks Tom for being so helpful.

I do not intend to play these things in real time but rather program via mouse which I have been doing for the last 6 years of my life.

Anyway, I have a novation X-station for when I need realtime use in order to get down the notes.

As for reverbs I will probably ...

Thanks astroman for the information.

I don't actually have an RME but I studied hard their technology, as you say it is "convincing" but can wait as I am more interested in vintage computer hardware at this time such as Scope.

Although I cannot find anything that would suggest PCIe other than via ...

That's really interesting, quite amazing really for something made so long ago.

Now I acknowledge a bit of a diversion in this thread but I'm looking at the software page for Scope Systems and is it right that I can use up to version 4 software on any card no matter its' vintage?

Also, will ...

Thanks Gary for replying.

So are you saying then that WC, will operate even if the A-16 is plugged into a HDSP 9652 for example?

I can understand if it were to output wordclock on the BNC but not accepting it and somehow allowing sync to occur no matter the interface unto which it is being used ...

Thanks Tom, that's helpful information.

About the old boxes, they are the blue ones am I right with "Creamware" written on the front.

If so what are the 8 lights on the front for and there seems two dials or something on the right?

One more question if I may, does the Wordclock only work when Z ...
