Hi DSP ppl. I`ve experied the following problems with my Pulsar v3 in windows XP. If someone have the same problems please confirm it here.
1.The seq.midi source modules must be loaded into the project before starting sequencer, or it won`t work.
2.In optical SPDIF mode no signal comes from optical out (sony MD connected)
3.In XTC mode midi inputs - outputs won`t work.
4.Winamp or win media player are working very bad. If trying to pause a playback pulsar trying to play buffer contents(effect of IRQ conflict on old ISA sound cards)

that is not a bug, i do not think. you need a MIDI driver to run a sequencer!

with Pulsar I this is a known bug

are you using IRQ steering?

Hello Algorhytm, thank You for the response
but nothing of Your ideas is right... The midi drivers are installed and from the sequencer You can see all 8 ports, but they are not working if Your project do not contents them before You start the sequencer, in other words You can`t add sequencer midi source than sequencer is running.
About IRQ. all my DSP cards are useng IRQ 5 without sharing it with other devices. I`ve tryed few different combinations but nothing helps.
Thank You anyway

Yup - this is not a bug - you must have all drivers loaded into your project BEFORE starting your sequencer in Pulsar mode, or you will have to restart your sequencer so it finds them.

XTC mode is a different story though...
