Can you help me understand SAT connection and reboot errors?

Post by Immanuel »

I never used anything but sparse projects with my Xite-1. But Yesterday, I started to use the VDAT, and since then, I have had issues with Scope.

Background info
The first issue I encountered was saving my project with VDAT in it with a tape.
The next time, I opened the project, Scope had made a new tape with the same name and placed it in /app/bin/

I started to connect the two outputs from my guitar signal path to VDAT, and this made the PC reboot - quite consistently.

After this, I have had lots of errors in Scope. Here is a "project" I tried to make at 48 kHz. This is from a fresh boot with an empty start up project. I powered off everything before this attempt.

The modular patch has nothing but 6dB filters, attenuators and gain stages in it.

I'm sorry. It was in 96 kHz.

Have a look at this - it might be of help to you:

"For VDAT you need to use the DSP 2".

Thanks Petal

I have tried, DSP 1, 2, 7, 8, 11 and 18 (automatic) and probably others too. I noticed something strange. When loading on DSP 1 or 2, I got an error when I tried to raise the trackcount to 32. On DSP 7, I could take it to 56 and got an error at 64. I think I remember these numbers right. It was late. When I tried to assign things (also other modules and devices) to DSP 3-6, I would get error messages immediately.

I think I found an Xite VDAT bug. Can someone check out if they get the same problem? If I connect i.e. a channel module to two of the inputs on VDAT, and then I connect the same channel outputs to more inputs on the VDAT, my PC reboots.

HI,
I have had many of the errors you mention when trying to work with VDAT on XITE-1.
fra77x has it pretty right.
The only thing I can add is you cannot save the project with more than the first 8 IO channels connected.
If you have a 32 channel project you want to save, all I can suggest is you disconnect inputs and outputs 9 - 32 and then save.
When you reload the project you will, of course, have to reconnect these channels but at least you can save this way!
