Sonic Core can't repair Pulsar cards any more...

[Kenf2]

Hi,
I have a pulsar with ADAT A no longer working and Sonic core say they can't repair 'those cards' any more Maybe the parts are obsolete?? I can still use ADAT B but it I get an error in Cubase. I only ever get one pair of outputs appearing and all outputs are connected together. I can just about live with this but it is disappointing... Not sure what to do... If XTC mode worked OK in 5.1 I would probably buy a new card. I'll have to have a think...
Regards

is it the transmitter not working anymore ? no red light on that port ?
it's quite easy to replace
you could steal it from an optical out from a PC extension, if no shop available.
(or an outdated soundcard)

cheers, Tom

Hi Tom,
I'm unsure what is wrong. I get an error message when I insert it in to the project window. I will check the LED...
Thanks

Hi Kenf2,

Is that all Pulsar/Scope cards? If so that's bad news. I'd dread it if one of mine stopped working and couldn't get it fixed. I think Sonic Core only sell the 4 DSP cards now?

Thats bad - How long have you had it for?

I got 3 DSP cards 1x Scope Pro 14/15dsp-1x Pulsar 2(6dsp)- 1xpower sampler 3 dsp-If these packed up I would be unhappy-If they last a few more years then that will be OK/

Hi,
I have had the card for many years... It doesn't owe me anything! But I hate throwing things away. I always try to repair things.

Worst case scenario: Check out the thriving "Purchasing and Trading"-section of this forum. It shouldn't be to hard to find a really good deal on second hand PCI-cards these days. Even I have an XTC-card lying around unused somewhere

it was bound to come to this eventually - this product is like what.... at least 10-12 years old - thats a long ass time for a PC based audio product to remain relevent. I can't think of a single other PC product that has/had a similar life span (expect maybe my old microsoft keyboard which still seems to work ha ha).

Are there any old TripleDat systems still in service out there?

Yes there is.
I first met a Brotha' Rapper who wanted some licks recorded so I went to his house and he was using TDat.
I saw him a year ago and he has several other DAW's now, it's been 9 years I think, but his little brother has the TDat box on an ancient Prescott based PC and he loves it....
