Ever since I upgraded Giga from 2.5 to 3.0, my sound scope/pulsar multichannel driver -- sound card is no longer recognized. I talked to Tascam and they sent me to creamware, and creamware sent me to tascam. Are their any current drivers specifically for the audio card -- I am running 1.70 as far as Giga tells me. Suggestions on how to get Giga ro recognize the card again?

Are you using the Scope drivers in version 4.50? I'll try to set this up when I get home and see if I can make it work.

gs3 definitely works if you have the gsif source module in the routing window before opening giga...

Well, there you go.

The secret with the Scope stuff seems to be add a driver for every I/O you MIGHT use and save that as your default. Then, when you launch some other software it won't be lookin for what ain't there.

You should also consider sidegrading to GVI. It pretty well smokes GS3 anymore and costs about 8 lattes. Plus you can route it through Plogue Bidule and load other VSTIs for added fun.

well, it's pretty easy to load the driver when you need it so it doesn't take dsp when you're not using it. if the driver's not in the routing window when the app opens, the app can't see it is all.

yes, GVI is a very nice product for that money. it works very well with wav drivers in stand alone and perfectly with bidule and asio drivers.

PM me if you have troubles w/ the enable / disable ins and outs of the GS3 connection window.

And by all means ignore the pop up window that says do you want to go to diagnostic mode.

But do yourself a favor, and upgrade to GVI immediately. Use any host you want pretty much, but you will see that GVI is the shit now, that is until GS4 comes out and Sonicore makes us new drivers for the ultimate DAW.

But I am not holding my breath on that courtesy.

I think I am missing something crucial here ... I have a GSIF driver (v1.70) which giga sees ... but doesn't see i/o's. It doesn't allow me to add any I/o's. If I try to launch the GSIF module by itself, it is a file that window's doesn't recognize...same thing for the driver itself.

of course giga doesn't see any IOs - how should Tascam even know about it ?
you add the IOs in Scope's routing window, but afaik with the current version of gsif only output works, i.e. you cannot connect an analog input or a few channels from an adat converter to gsif to sample 'live', which the '2nd generation' gsif implementation would allow.
You probably have connected the gsif outputs to a mixer (or to asio channels) before - with the gsif module that comes with Scope - the input part simply doesn't exist yet.

cheers, Tom

So I have the routing window open, the GSIF Source going to an STM 2448, then running to Pulsar ADAT dest channels. Giga still isn't allowing me to enable any output channels ...

Just to confirm, you opened giga AFTER you setup the project in scope. Is there anything in giga that tells it what driver to use eg Scope Gsif (I have no idea as I have never used giga).
Surely someone here can direct you through step by step.

yep, I opened Giga after. I called the Creamware guys @ soniccore the other day, and sent them a screenshot of my routing window. He says its is set up properly as far as he can tell. Only thing I can think of is perhaps my GSIF driver is out of date? Vers. !.70 -- does this sound right?

drivers really don't work that way. YES, the current driver works. for sure....

i'm sorry that i don't have better to tell you...
