Thinking about getting a TC Electronic Fireworx, I can get one at Thomann for only 759 euro. Anyone got experience with this FX unit? I have a Lexicon MPX1, a Roland SRV-3030 and a Alesis Midiverb4 and of course all the Scope FX devices. Would the Fireworx add something new to my FX setup? I did not find a software editor for it so it will be old school front panel editing again.

well, really you can never have too many choices in reverbs/fx, and i'm sure that the tc unit would be very nice, but i don't think it will give you anything that you don't already have.

I owned one years ago and sold it.

I don't think it adds much to what you already have - other than some cool effects.

I would just try out a mix on out an a certain db level and see if it works.
I use a poor mans SE C2 and an ancient PCM70 and love what it does to my ITB mixes.
That comes from hearing my stuff live and remembering how hardware sounded so much bigger. These 2 units really helped out my sound, but I am going through large PA cabinets and powered midfield stage monitors.
But even at home on my 2.1 Blue Sky's the reverb just sounds better, and the compressor gets big and warm when driven properly.
Try it out.
It won't care about 64bit or which version of Windoze you're using.

I've been doing some research. I think I can get some weird shit out of this unit
Things like the routing matrix and FX like the chaos generator in combination with the vocoder and formant filter would get some nice results. And if you connect it using S/PDIF you can use the analogue IO's to add an external insert FX into the FX chain using the routing matrix.

Go For It...........

yep, sounds like you know why you want it.

I just placed my order at Thomann With any luck it will here on my birthday which is thursday the 10th.

I actually think Scope is the finest hardware integration app/card/rack ever made.
Integrating with hardware means longevity free from this OS and VST nonsense.
If their sampler would ever get up to date I wouldn't even need this VST/M$ crap...

Slightly OT.
An old Logic turned Cubase buddy of mine has a nit picky wife who runs his finances and she showed us his costs over the last 15 years on software. It was 18,900+ Dollars.....
His wife even prefers hardware after adding those accelrated depreciations.

I started buying hardware 15 years ago. I never made the switch to software only. I still use all the gear I bought for the last 15 years and with Scope I can integrate them all into one big modular system.
