I would like to beta-test it too!!
I have a powermac G4 1.467 ghz(with giga design) OSX and OS9.

Regards.

acording to my rule of thumb (further up in the thread)- expect something usable around february 2005...

cheers, Tom

february?
I would like update my MACOS, Powercore, Logic at last......
It is funny, but til now nobody, who is using MAC, or planning to work on Mac will buy CW system. There is no Mac based audio software working on OS9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope in the future CW will fix bugs: better support for 96k, more available ASIO (Audio Core) channels, maybe support for well-known controllers (Universal Control), and maybe some good EQ (Like Sony Oxford....)

If the development for a linux based Pulsar DAW goes ahead, it would be worth creating a distribution of some kind like the Agnula or Planet CCRMA disributions based on Fedora and Debian. I have spent several nights (and days) trying to set up a DAW based on the CCRMA disttro by installing the software packages individually (nightmare..) and finally managed to get one of the plug-in synth and a USB midi keyboard to work. To make it work successfully the audio servers and kernel have to be easier to set up with the Creamware Soundcard and software. Once working will be a cracking system...

Good luck.

My RME Hammerfall seems to work ok with Linux (the HDSP adat cards have the best support apparently) but otherwise the pro field is pretty barren...

now there's a move to get the Emu cards supported under linux:
http://www.productionforums.com/emu/top ... hichpage=1

ICHi is rather active in several forums and keeps up with user requests quite well, usually at least letting them know what decision has been made.

The most interesting thing here is that people seem to be asking mostly for just some form of audio support, not full dsp & app (emu-x & the mixer) support.

No, we don't want to create SFP for a specific distro.
Since all developers involved use different distros (gentoo
for me, FC and SUSE for others), this wouldn't make sense.
I doubt that there will be an Amiga version (at least from our
team), 'cause the number of potential users is two small -
otherwise, we could try to port to MorphOS, Pegasos, QNX...
We plan to port to OSX, Linux/x86, Linux/AMD64 and
Linux/PPC, should be sufficient...

How about FreeBSD with EMT64 extensions?

I would go for a BSD. They can in the future adjust it call it their own!!

CWBSD - The Power To Produce.

heh.

Hello there!

Where can I get information about the project status? I am very interested in SFP for Linux and willing to participate...

I'd suggest you contact wsippel, you can find his coordinates in the initial post of this topic.

Just noticed this thread is rather 'old'.
 
Has anything come of this 3rd party developement/OS porting to OSX & Linux ??

Post by **hubird** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 6:19 pm

Don't reck'on this, my guess is, it's waiting for CWA itself...depending from ASB sailes...and waiting for mac-Intel...no problem to go out fishing or so...

Hi.
We just started an effort to port the SFP to Linux,
coordinated by Frank Hund of Creamware and myself.
This is a community-effort, so we're still looking
for some capable coders to join the Scope4Linux
project.
The idea is to create a common codebase for OSX and
Linux (the OSX port is almost finished). The Linux
driver should be easy to port, the SFP is already
mostly cross-platform. Two Linux hackers are part of
the project right now, with support from Creaware's
OSX coder.

What we need:
- OSX hackers, if possible with some skills in kernel
driver development (CoreAudio). The driver should be
easy to write, most of the work is done by the SFP in
userspace after all.
- Linux coders with good C++ skills, some knowledge
of wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows) would also be very
appreciated.

Not everything of the SFP will become Open Source,
because of the copy protection, for example. If you
want to join, it's a requirement that you would
accept to sign a NDA (non disclosure agreement).

To apply, just send an email with 'Creamware' in the
subject to:
willie(at)froq(dot)net

Hope to hear from you soon,
Willie Sippel

Any news about Scope4Linux project?

Is there anything one can do to help make this a reality?

I've been waiting for a linux driver since the begining and now I just found Ardour (ardour.org) which makes multitracking on a linux a real posibility.

Besides music/sound engineering I've had an incresed interest in using my hardware for DSP processing onboard a robot I'm working along with the I/O.

I really do hope CreamWare considers supporting an opensource initiative to develope the drivers for linux. The actual ScopeFusion enviroment and pluging need not follow this model.
