So,

One of my Scope Professional cards gave up working completely. I transferred the 3rd party plug-ins to one of the remaining, but I still have lots of devices on this one. This is the Professional, so it includes the both Synth'n'Samples and Mix'n'Master packages, and has been upgraded to Scope v.4.5. On the RGY file, you can find:

Spectral Balance Controller
Scope Fusion Platform
Main Studiotools Package
Mixer Package 1
Mixer Package 2
Synthesizer Package 1
Synthesizer Package 2
Effects Package 1
Effects Package 2
SCOPE 4.0 Software
Modular V2 / Elektra
Modular V3
STS-2000P
STS-3000
STS-4000
STS-5000
Arpeg 02
EDS 16i
GraphEQ
Master Verb Pro
OptiMaster
Poison FM
PSY Q
SB 404
Minimax
Vectron
Vocodizer
Vintage Compressor
B-2003
Interpole
VDAT
FleXor (by Adern)

I will include Flexor, as I have the keys for Flexor and Flexor III in another card. But be aware that in this case it will be up to Flexor to do the key transfer, and not S|C.

I would like to get €300 for the whole package, but I am open to negotiation. I can even break it down to individual devices, but I'd rather get it over with in one go. As you probably know, there's a 55€ fee to transfer these devices to your card, so give it a good thought and let me know your offers.

I also have a spare I/O card that I can sell for €100 + shipping- it's the plus card (unbalanced RCA connections). Paypal or bank transfer only.

Finally, if anyone has a use for the broken card (15 sharc DSPs included ), I will give it away, but I won't pay for the shipping.

Thanks,

who'd have thought that the broken card would be the most sought item? I'm sure the price helps, but still...

The card is "sold".

Hope you haven't sent the card already Tau, as I'm not going to be able to take it. I sent you a PM.

OK, just to clear some issues here:

The card is broken. I sent it to S|C and it was considered to be beyond repair. It's not recognized by Windows or SFP, and therefore, cannot be used as a normal card - only as a piece of decoration, or a source of spare parts for your DIY projects, but that's way beyond my capabilities to assess. I can assure you that it's not working here, and S|C themselves didn't want it for spares either. And that's why the price tag is 0.

The software and the I/O card can still be put to good use, though. The I/O is the "classic", which means 2x ADAT, MIDI + unbalanced I/O on RCA plugs ("phono" plugs). No Z-link, no XLR. You can use it on an SRB to get I/Os. New price is twice as much.

The software pack is the standard for a Professional card, plus Scope 4.5 (will give you SCP 5 for free) and Flexor 1.5. I believe these keys are transferable to any other card, but please feel free to contact S|C. Maybe with all the winter specials and sales this doesn't look like a very good deal, but anyway, feel free to make an offer. I keep reading about people who want to buy VDAT, or Vinco, or Optimaster, so here's your chance!

After the card stopped working, I paid 55€ to transfer the 3rd party keys, almost €40 to ship it, with insurance, to S|C for testing, and an extra €50 to have it inspected and returned. That's €145 just for losing one card, and that's why I'm trying to recover some of that by selling the I/O plate and the software I already have. I was offered a replacement board, but I don't feel it's worth it to spend around €1500 in another PCI, now that the XCITE should be just around the corner...

Hope this clears up the whole situation a little bit.

Cheerz to all,

T
