Re: WTB: IO daughterboard "Plus" or even "Classic"

Just an FYI - the ADAT24 i/o option has an extra PCI bracket which has the connector for the MIDI snake (which is 2x in/out/thru I think). The bracket connects to the i/o board with a ribbon cable/multi-pin connector. It's a pretty good design as the heavy snake doesn't weigh down on the i/o board s...

Re: Hardware wavetable on an arduino

Nice project Neutron - didn't know Arduino could be used for such cool stuff. BTW as far as I know the Evolver signal path can never be fully analog - I'm pretty sure even the analog oscs are converted to digital at some point in the signal chain for a lot of the routing/mixing/FX processing/feedbac...

Re: LOOP - MIDI Sequencer

Looks nice :)

From the GUI I assume it's a step sequencer? Or does it record incoming MIDI in real time?

Re: Excellent Jon Hassell Video (Ambient)

Great video. Earthquake Island/Power Spot/The Surgeon of the Night Sky.. are my favourites. I have some pretty rare live Hassell bootlegs if anyone is interested.

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

Stardust, I haven't been following the forum that closely recently so forgive me if I'm wrong here, but do you have some kind of vendetta with Jimmy? If so, what's the point? :-?

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

Yeah fuck it, I'm bored of ranting too :) It doesn't really matter what I think in this case... as I said we all have our thresholds of what we think is acceptable - SC crossed mine here but that's life. We're indeed gonna have to agree to disagree - there is simply no way I can accept that Mod4 is ...

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

Hi Shroomz, Argh, I wasn't gonna reply any more to this topic but you've forced me :x :lol: the MS EQ was a new product, it didn't have any relation to anything previous. Mod4 is not a new product, it's Mod3 with some extra modules. That is the difference for me. Whether its 3 new modules or 100, do...

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

OK point taken, it's speculation either way to say if it's a good move or bad move in business terms. Only time will tell. I've made my thoughts known to Holger anyway, so fuck it I'm done. I suppose we all have our own thresholds when it comes to what we find acceptable. I guess for me this was the...

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

Did you think about the guy new in Scope... He'll buy the mod IV, thinking he'll have the latest version... But what can you do with just mod IV ? Not much ! It is not very fair.. I was sure it was not going to be an update price : NOBODY will buy mod IV alone !! You cannot do much things with just...

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

In this instance i feel that at €99 for an upgrade more people would buy it without thinking twice - it's the proverbial no-brainer. At €198 people pause and think: do i really need it? Many will say no, including me, but i don't feel hard done by. Exactly my point... I'm not at all bothered about ...

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

Well I can't speak for erminardi, but what I got from his message that he was annoyed that he would have to pay the full price x2. Buying it for 2 systems isn't a problem from my point of view, but everyone paying the same price is what doesn't make sense to me.

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

I think his point is that it would be a lot fairer if there's a half-price upgrade (200EU vs. 400EU). The lack of an upgrade basically devalues Mod3, making it mean nothing. But Mod2/Mod3 users paid for the development of probably more than 80% of Mod4, so it kinda rankles that new customers pay the...

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

I take your point Shroomz, it's definitely a subjective thing. But my subjective view is just as valid, and I doubt I'm the only person that sees it this way. Like I said, I'm not gonna throw a tantrum over it, just making my feelings known. I'm just very surprised and disappointed. Like Mr.A said, ...

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

Mod4 is not a new product - it's mostly Modular3, with some new modules. Anyway I've made my point and have nothing more to say on the matter. It's a sad day for me but as you say life goes on.

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

Yeah I bought the Sonic Timeworks reverbs before Scope 5, guess I'm one of the unlucky ones :roll: Anyway check my post history, I always support SC. I work in software dev and I know what it's like, but IMHO putting out a new version with no upgrade price is unheard of, and this leaves a bad taste ...

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

I know all about development, but you have to cut some slack to your existing customers as well... it's just basic business sense. I want to give them my money (want Gizzmo too) but I ain't paying the same as a new customer.

Re: Modular IV on SC shop.

Maximum suckage. Don't really know what they are thinking :( This is marketing 101. As someone who bought Mod2 and Mod3, it doesn't make sense for me to pay the same as someone who didn't buy any of them. I know it's a new company, but you need to create some good will. Because right now I'm thinkin...

Re: OSX - How do you think it will work?

Of course Tom, was not implying otherwise. But the question was about device files :) Obviously the devices would be useless without the DSP and other support files within the Scope app.

Re: OSX - How do you think it will work?

In theory if they make a proper Mac version, the devices shouldn't need to be ported. The old versions of Scope for OS9 used the same device/module files as Windows as far as I know.
