Re: With or Without Windows Defender?

Terminology mess... ;) UEFI is a BIOS replacement (the software controlling the machine‘s hardware). MBR and GPT are different partition schemes, the basic structure of the disk and relevant to boot. NTFS is a file system that‘s written to the partitioned disk, and not related to the partition/boot ...

Re: DSP hungry (mixer-)channel

You may try a Dynamic Mixer with that trio and use the direct outs to send to destination.
(in non Xite Scope the DSP load by single Channels was at least noticeably higher than all under 1 surface)
Channel got a lot of features: midi, invert and 2 inserts.

Re: DSP hungry (mixer-)channel

It‘s probably due to the layer for external communication per device.
Each channel device needs it‘s own, while a mixer made of many channels only needs one.

Re: DANGEROUS VIRUS: "LOJAX", PLEASE READ AND TAKE CARE

Did you try to get into „recovery mode“ to stop the (obviously failed) update procedure ? Iirc it‘s F8 (or F6) pressed at the right moment after boot, but before Windows loads. You get at least access to the file system and (possibly) may be able to roll back the update. (I‘m no expert in this area ...

Re: Anyone into Bitwig 4?

The „clip pushed, loop based concept, which is not appealing to me...“ might become useful, once you have more sections of your own compositions ready.
It allows to quickly built variations of the arrangement as backings to further improvisation or whatever ideas.

Re: Stripped-down Windows 11 version runs on as little as 2GB of RAM

Thanks Bud, that confirms my quick search for Intellifex Sounddiver. No big deal, though... at least I could start my own adaption (... one day) :D The reverb section of the Intellifex is rather close in character to the PT reverbs. The more sophisticated Intelliverb probably even closer, but these ...

Re: Stripped-down Windows 11 version runs on as little as 2GB of RAM

I once had the EMU Proteus 2 (Orchestral, 19“ unit) and the same content in SF2 format. The latter loaded into STS was a total disappointment, it loaded just the samples and skipped all programming. Even the humble 4MB rack unit clearly outperformed it. Your E64 still makes sense 8) Sounddiver 2.x (...

Tbh recently I was quite surprised how great some „vintage“ Akai sample CDs sounded. A lot of that stuff floats abandoned on the internet. I downloaded some ISO images out of curiosity and to try out the CD drive of my MPC4k... with the funny side effect that it triggered my interest in Scope’s STS ...

Re: Got a new midi controller keybord, period!

They may have added the (key) functions in a later revision, but probably you can update the firmware so an older version only lacks the labels...
A search with „revision update key function“ (or similar) may reveal details.

Re: Strange difference between Adat A and B (2nd gen)

Yes, PT‘s „Superclock“ (256 x sample Frequency) is a kind of nightmare ... and the only way to externally clock a Mix24 system. I‘ll probably exchange the > 20 years old connectors instead of getting other cables.
(but at least everything seems to work right now and I can use Scope again) :)

Re: Strange difference between Adat A and B (2nd gen)

I wonder why the OP´s issue happens when using a Mutec-MC7 masterclock though. It´s a precise device. Simply because OP is too stupid to setup a 5 items routing window properly :D :oops: The Adat lines between Scope and PT now both work as expected and null as in the old days. On the MacMini it‘s d...

Re: Strange difference between Adat A and B (2nd gen)

The setup was the most simple one: Adat ports to DynamicMixer, PhaseFix in the source path, mixer to monitor. On the target side there was just the DAW sending back unprocessed. I only watched the main output, but your hint triggers the idea of insterting a couple of Channels to have meters on input...

Re: Weird Panning Problem

So the position of the Big Knob is on the Motu‘s analog outputs and it receives from Scope via Adat. (if I understood correctly) You can check the Big Knob by adressing the Motu directly as output of an audio app. (which probably succeeds, as it‘s a plain analog device...) Next step would be to trac...

Strange difference between Adat A and B (2nd gen)

Took me a while to re-activate my Win7 license, but finally it‘s a fresh install with as few additions as possible to have a lean Scope system. While connecting gear to the Adat ports I noticed a strange performance of the Pulsar 2: port A no problem, but when adding something to port B, occasional ...
