BTW: I will use just one cable but I bought two in case of...

Hi all,

I have just bought 2 S/TDM cables from my dealer! Fortunately he had 2 on stock!
So, I'm going to plugin my second Pulsar now and see what happens...! :smile:

BTW: the S/TDM cable has 3 connectors. When connecting just 2 cards, do you
always have to use an outer and the middle connector ...

Thanks all for the advices and helping out!

Thanks for your quick answer!

Royston: I've mailed you.

Hi all,

About your last suggestion: you're right...! I was lost thinking in this theoretic way coz' I don't own a Pulsar yet...
Thanks for all help.

Hi Kim,

So you people think that my system is capable of running a lot of reverbs, synths and other plugins on the ...

Hi, thanks for your reply.

In at least three reviews (in printed magazines and web articles) I read that the Pulsar is slowing down the PC. How is this possible?

Do these reviewers mean
(a) a lot of PCI bandwidth is taken, and that is slowing down the PC?
(b) the host (main) CPU is used ...

Is it true that Creamware cards (e.g. Pulsar of Scope) slow down the computer by stressing the PCI bus?

I read that other DSP cards (e.g. TC Powercore and UAD-1) also have this behaviour, but not in such a big way. Is the reason that Creamware cards do not have memory of their own and must use the ...
