How to rename ADAT modules...is it possible in any way??

[jetmoon]

Hi all
Is it possible to rename the ADAT modules? Since they identify (in my actual setup) the inputs and outputs of more than one piece of hardware (such as MOTU 2408mkIII, MOTU 828mkII, YAMAHA 01V, PRESONUS DIGIMAX LT etc etc...) it would be very useful to have the modules labeled with their specific names and not as ADAT A source , ADAT B source, ADAT A dest, ADAT B dest....is it possible?
Maybe renaming some .ini files??
Please help
Thanks a lot
Stefano

It's been a while since I did that, but I know it's possible with the analog an digital modules representing the connections on your cable whip. Never tried it with the bigger modules (8-channel Z-link or ADAT).
Unfortunately I can't try it myself right now because I can't access my scope DAW this week. But I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread because I'd like to know that too.

That would certainly make Scope 5.0 & XITE-1 guys happy.
I had an SDK guy do a fix for me on the B2003 so I could use a hardware pedal for the Leslie emulation and it came back with my name on it.
Since I use dual instances of the B2003 this was way cool the one which has my name on it is the upper manual, the other instance is the lower. This also gives me 2 different rotary cabinet emulations like the Logic B3 does, which is very desirable BTW.

I use multiple VDAT's and ADAT's and would love to be able to change their names in a project window. Resizing them would also be a great addition for the crowded windows I am faced with.

Just being able to change the synth module sizes would be great. One could give each a MIDI channel number or just a letter for association's sake, and thereby making the routing easier to arrange.

just use the "source modules", found in the mix subfolder.
assign the correstp. ADAT output and name them.

voilà!

There ya go!

Thanks a lot for your answers...
BTW, using "source modules" will not solve the issue completely I think...The source modules have only two outputs (correct me if I am wrong), so I'd have to use 4 "source module" units (to include the 8 outputs of an ADAT module)..Since I have 4 Adat sources in my setup, It would mean 16 Source Modules! It would work,but it would create a too crowded screen (I'd go for the ADAT modules in this case). Furthermore, if you use the source modules you must load the ADAT modules anyway, so you'd get 16 source modules+4 ADAT modules (only for the inputs) and then you would do the same for the outputs modules!!!
I'd prefer simply renaming the ADAT modules...It seems strange to me that the Creamware guys never thought about it..mah!

you can move the ADAT modules out of the screen and out of view.

Mmmm, I know it...I already do this with the spdif and analog modules (since I customized some source and dest modules)...but It is not a solution, I'd get 32 SOURCE and DEST Modules anyway...
Thanks anyway

Then you should look into having the SDK where you can rename and recolor.

Thanks, would you give some more info about SDK?
I own my two pulsar 2 cards since 2001, but I never got into SDK, what is it exactly and where can I get it? Is it easy to use? What you can do with it?
Thanks again

If that is the case, I should in fact check out SDK. Until now I never had the desire, time or knowledge to consider working with SDK, but if simple (I hope) tasks like renaming/resizing existing devices is possible, then I'm gonna send Ralf a mail tomorrow...

Thanks!

Sorry to say, but SDK is only granted to people that have at least a 15 (or 14) DSP board.
I'll let others explain to you what's possible with SDK. Check the devices section of this forum. Look for names like MCCY, Hifiboom, Sharc, Schroomz,...

[borg]

Dont misunderstand my cryptic post.

You can rename, recolor the routing window box representing the device.

Thanks! That is in fact all I want to do. Why would I spend valuable time on changing stuff that is already beautiful/well thought about?

[jetmoon]

So..thanks again everybody..
Unfortunately I own 12 DSP card (Pulsar 2+Pulsar 2) so I won't run SDK..
It seems like there's no solution for renaming ADAT modules in other way...
BTW maybe I can work the same
Thanks again
