Hi!

I have 3 CW cards:

Luna II
Pulsar II
Pulsar XTC

What is the right placement of the cards in the PCI slots. Which card has to be the first, ...?

Do I have to make any entries in the "ini" file?

SFP works fine, but in Cubase SX XTC-Mode I get the DSP-message (no capacity, ...).

Can anyone help me please?

thanks

Harry

You have to make the Pulsar II the "master card", I don't remember ther explanation, but I remember that there's a section in the manual describing the optimum placement of mulitiple CW-cards.
I know it's borring to be directed to the manual, but it's easier for everybody, if you have it of course....

Usually one would place the card with the highest number of DSPs first, so i would go PulsarII first (cos it's got your in/outs), Pulsar XTC then last the LunaII. Make sure you've got two STDM cables with one cable running across the three cards and the second cable across the PulsarII/XTC cards (use the two outer connectors of the STDM ribbon cable, leaving the middle one floating). The reason for this is that if you load a Project with say a big mixer then that loads first using as much of the first card's DSP as possible before using the second card. This helps reduce phase errors in the mixer as the mixer doesn't have to 'split itself' over a number of cards. If you had three Luna cards for example with a big mixer loaded you'd probably get phase errors as it could be working (via STDM) over three cards.

As for the other stuff i'm sure a PC-head will help you there as i'm a Maccer and don't know of such things.

Thanks for the help so far...

I will see what I can do...

If it can help, on asus tusl2c, the perfect (for me) slot choice is the main card in slot3, then 4 and 5.
