For two years, making the transition to j'esprais Creamware. What attracted me to the concept of silent Creamware simply soft combo / DSP story allger somewhat the job of the CPU. My shopping is now done and I was jubilant with joy! I usually work with the Electroacoustic, ambient, noise, etc.. The synth has knows me too, but say that I use less. So C'tait: mixing, effects, sampling and modular m'intressaient with the Pulsar II. All controllable by MIDI automation point.

Systm: P4 2.6CGHz (is it useful to add six 60Mhz CW?) 1/2Gig Ram, Antec 1080 case + (same quantity difficult to place the Pulsar II with 3 hard drives and two CD players ...), 255 Gig HDD.

Studio: Roland VS-840, Yamaha RM1x, Korg ES-1, Behringer Eurorack 1622-FX, Shure SM-58, etc..

UTILIZATION

No problem with XP installation. Only problem: the physical space for the card, prs of 8 inches long if my memory is good. With only two free PCI ... I have dplacer few hard drives in my Antec 1080 + ... which is standard, must say! Only imcompatibilit: with Logic, error messages at launch, but no effect at work. Normally, the card offers two MIDI port via PCI ... only one can be used in Logic (old version?). Solutions exist, see www.planetz.com.
The manual is clear franais, but not much. A good deal of exprience and knowledge is useful wiring. The manuals are not super synth I got. I wish I had the schmas to understand the indoor ... What good is 5 2 osc synth with all filters, env, etc.. if I am not able to know what sets them apart internally.

GETTING STARTED

Some disorder of ACCS from squenceurs twelve o'clock. But a possible solution. No problem with ASIO. Planting a single time in a month when I installed an old free devices made by someone (see link www.planetz.com + for at least 50 devices free!). Squenceur used with external Logic, CSound (okay, but I do not run in real time or in VST, only to produce the most beautiful small world wav). Latency, inaudible.

OVERALL OPINION

For a month, at least open the horizons. I love mixing with the FX consoles and the Pulsar II. The modular is also excellent. The STS-3000 can be very useful but limited in comparison to my own exprience pass sampling with the Yamaha A4000. Think buy the card just before Christmas for the spcial with plugin pack free. I took the Master Mix and pack that j'apprcie specially. Compression, and rverbration psyQ are handy to master in real time while the composition rolls as usual on soft and hardware external best view of your exact final? I like this. With the Master Mix and pack, be said that the vocodizer really INTERESTED.

The question: is it useful with a large CPU or G5? For the trip of DASP and the quality of soft yes, but otherwise ... ?

Basically, I love. I would have to develop AIM accder kit to make my own plugins and treatment algorithms ... but the thing is $ 8000! I'm even more certain it is available ...
