hi,

I own a pulsar 1 board :/

I need to know what is the correct software package from creamware hq that I need to run with my board.

thanks

Scope 4.0 software is the latest version for ALL the DSP cards.

However contact rb@creamware.de with your SN and get Scope 4.0 key code generated in order to be able to install the latest version.

your single key no longer work byitself.

thanx, now in my project window
and i can only seem to get my asio scope drivers working, my media PLAYER WONT PLAY EVEN THOUGH IVE GOT THE WAVE SOURCE GOING INTO THE CONTROL MIXER CHANNELS 3-4 AND ASIO GOING INTO CHANNELS 1-2

also i'm getting alot of popping, im using a yamaha o1v synced up via adat and wordclock master, with pulsar 1 as a slave

any clues, yamaha o1v/pulsar templates?

unless you own a syncplate for the pulsar, there's no way that the o1w could be wordclock master. it COULD be ADAT master. check the settings again. clicks and pops are likely sync mismatches, but not knowing how your computer is set up, it's hard to say what is causing problems. a pulsar1 should work very well.

as to the wav driver not working, check this out: http://www.rme-audio.de/english/faq/10entrye.htm
this article may or may not have anything to do with your problem.

ive got all the drivers working now, but im getting freezes when running cubase. and have to reboot with the restart button
yes its adat and im running o1v as master and pulsar as slave. using an asio in to dynamixer then to analog out. i have got my adat dests and source set up would this coz it to freeze?

wavelab seems to be fine so i'm wondering if its cubase.

is midi involved?

yes im using the pulsar midi in and out for my main master keyboard (cs2x) and I have a steinberg midex 8/8 installed as well

if you use that kb thru the pulsar, you must disable or filter active sensing and midi clock echo and midi clock functions.

the midex directly to cubase and then to scope if you need it to, will likely be easier, but both will work.

ok so i'm using my keyboard thru the midex 8/8 now and sacked the pulsar in/out

i was using the pulsar midi in out coz i thought i would get better timing coz its pci

anyway do you think this is the problem, why my pc keeps freexing during cubase, and the audio locks and i have to reboot

really annoying

tried reformatting windows upgrading scope etc etc tweaks etc

please help, i'm nearly at the stage of buying a new soundcard and sacking creamware

it's likely not the card. if you read my post and followed the direction, you shouldn't be having trouble. i can assure you from experience, a p1 works fine.

assuming the problem isn't midi for a second, go to programs/accessories/system tools/system information/hardware resources/sharing and tell me what, if anything is sharing an irq with the scope card.

my pulsar card is on IRQ21

and in my system information IRQ16 is my USB and radeon card and there's a few other things but none of them say IRQ no's or mention pulsar

as far as I can see there is only pulsar on irq 21

say if i'm recording some audio thru wavelab with my digital desk (o1v) via adat it will never freeze, and generally wavelab i have no problems with

but open up cubase and i get the dreaded freeze, ctrl alt delete won't even bring up the task manager.

so the problem has to lie within cubase or with pulsar 1

it's midi.
you either have a feedback loop or a controller transmitting active sensing and /or midi clock. or both. common problem but fixable. disable midi clock/active sensing(on your controller) and/or use a filter. track down midi feedback loops and cut them.

patience. when you finally get it working, it should be very stable and dependable.

i've searched my controller/keyboard which is a yamaha cs2x ( http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/e-gakkin ... 03856.jpeg )

and can't seem to disable active sensing or midi clock, i'm not sure if my keyboard has those functions, I can't find them in the manual, index or on the net anywhere.

one thing though, I did have local set to on so it was transmitting data I prob don't need coz I don't use any of the on board sounds.

so anyway I have turned that off.

could it be anything to do with my midex or the cubase midi settings?

btw thanks for your help so far

in scope, use a midi monitor to see what is being transmitted....

thanks I included the midi monitor in my scope proj, and not really knowing what it means I get active setting on 0-127 and when I tap a note on my keyboard I get the general note on note off message on 60 if its middle C

my cubase project is with one midi channel using refx vanguard vst

the message in midi monitor is

-001: 90 3c 5c ch01 note on nn:060 v:092
000: 90 3c 00 ch01 note off nn:060

so, then place a midi filter between the midi source and cubase. there's one in scope, but an external filter would be better...

the note on/off vel messages are just that; the midi note#, the velocity and the on and off of the note. this is how midi works, one machine gives the vital info to the other. active sensing is NOT vital. filter it.

after an extensive google search, i'm pretty sure my cs2x doesn't have the option to disable active sensing???
anyway I set up a midi filter in scope and started to make some music, after a few hours I thought this might have fixed my freezing problem, when all of a sudden my pc freezes and the audio just keeps looping over and a reboot using the reset button is needed.....

when windows rebooted I got the registration of scope platform window asking me to input my activation key ?????

strange

so maybe its not active sensing that is causing my system to freeze?

also my cubase project was all audio apart from 1 midi channel.
when it froze I wasn't using any midi

no, that's a different kind of freeze. the active sensing problem was real, but i suspect you STILL have you card sharing an irq with something else. it is almost 100% sure that the is an error in you pc's setup. check system information/hardware resources/conflicts sharing again.

are you in the usa?

im in the UK

this is how it reads
irq 0 - system timer
1 - keyboard ps2
3 - com 2
4 - com 1
6 - floppy drive
8 - cmos
9 - acpi compliant system
10. intel smbus controller
12. ps2 mouse
13. numeric processor
14. primary ide channel
15. secondary ide
16. usb
16. usb
16. usb
18. usb
19. usb
20. via ieee 1394
21. pulsar
23. usb2

keeps freezing more frequent now

in conflicts it looks like...
