Is there a difference between the Scope SP and DP cards?
I always thought they were the same card with different software.

Freakin' A! I'm also $$$ depleted after purchasing Logic 5 Plat. That SRB sure looks delish!!!!

Can you use the XTC as a "mini" SRB?

Nope.
A Scope/DP card is "generation one", same as PulsarI.
A /SP card is second generation, same as... You guessed it, PulsarII.
Since Scope/SP came out, /DP systems has offcourse been sold with the /SP card.

And of course PowerPulsar is also an "/SP" card as well (generation 2 scope board with different software)

Don't understand the above... So I can't put a Pulsar XTC as an extra board next to my Pulsar II card? Image

But can I put an extra Pulsar II card next to a Pulsar II card (I thought the difference between XTC and pulsar II was only the software...

yes, you can use XTC as SRB, but it's not the same as pulsar II (outputs)

For those considering buying one of these upgrade packages direct from creamware but concerned about the wait..Dont be. Mine just arrived, it only took 1 week. Their sales guy was pretty helpful too.

A word of caution for anyone thinking of reserving a card and collecting from your local dealer, you will end up paying double the tax! If you buy direct you pay the price on the website, If you collect locally, your store will add vat/tax appropriate to your locality.

perhaps this sale prepares something BIG in creamware... like a new DSP board out in autumn or who knows?
it seems that they are cleaning their remainings.
what do you think about this??

I wouldn't rule this out, maybe CW are just pushing for a bigger share of the DAW market.

I hate being too cynical but this sounds quite possible. All too often "sales" and "bargains" are the preamble to some sort of redundancy or replacement. But hey, it's still a fantastic deal.

you are right, the deal it's fantastic, and if i had more money or the opportunity to earn something form my music (which is impossible! :wink: ) i for sure would get an XTC and bring to 4+3+6=13 my DSPs! but 860euro for me are a month of work! and i'd like to spend money also for something else, apart DSP power, like building my mididrum module (http://go.to/edrum) or change my little mute masterkeyboard or buy a fostex vc-8 analog to adat converter and one or two external (cheap) expander.
(but if my speculation is correct, in a year you can buy a used pulsar 2 or an xtc for even more than now! :wink: let's see and hope!)

Just installed my SRB card.. everything seems to work nice :smile:

It is a little naughty of creamware to advertise the cards as 15 dsp when you can only use 14 of them. If 1 of these dsps is used to "manage" the system they should really be advertised as 14 dsp cards.

Orbita,

The price on the creamware sit is including VAT. If the store or dealer is calculating vat he is stealing.

Buy online, I purchased creamware products online may times, and every time the qouted price was including the vat (16% in germany).

Succes

I am also considering to buy the Scope SRB card. But how come the system is only showing 14 dsp instead of 15. What happend to number 15, what is it used for and why are we paying for it?

Now that you have installed the SRB, are you really using al these dsp power or maybe onnly 10 dsp's when you use optimaster, compressor, eq, reverb and delay.

I share the concern of some users that creamware is cleaning their old stocks because they are coming with new and better boards, already new sharc dsp are on the market so it is a fat chance.

Creapy from creamware not to announce anything about this.

The 15th DSP is told to manage I/O's, that's why it's not used for audio works... hope you don't mind...
