OMG!!!

Yes, please report everything. I'm especially interested in the PCI compatibility, but in bit of minutia you want to post, I'll be reading!

Congrats, enjoy, and thanks,
Cory

Well, so far no joy getting dual-Scope PCI/XITE configuration running properly for SN0024.

Stay tuned...

Greg,

Are you getting errors, or does it just not work? I'm wondering if it's contention between apps or drivers, or something else. Is the PCI software V5?

Jimmy, you may have more experience with this: do the midi hardware inputs seem better than the PCI inputs as far as dense streams of MIDI data (heavy notes/controllers, or sysex type loads)? I'm really hoping they've improved this.

Thanks,
Cory

I am setting up a new card now in hopes of the 32/48 MIDI Channel thing.
I have no clue what I am doing but after thrashing around and closing up the rack I'll see how well it works.
But the XITE-1 can handle MIDI very well. I hve internal and externally controlled hardware. Actually the MIDI is so snappy I go from my controller to the XITE-1 and then out to the analog synths.
The expression pedals and KS88 has zero latency, snappy as a Everglades Alligator.
Wouldn't it be cool to have a hardware synth w/ knobs that were motorized...?.... :lol:
That would be the shit to step on the expression pedals and watch your resonance and cutoff knobs move...........I'll have to wait for Solaris 2.0.

Great news about the MIDI, Jimmy. I had to stop using the PCI MIDI IOs because the MIDI stream would freeze my system.

I'm getting errors, and am still waiting on the key file, so I'm stuck for a bit until I can Xite Scope 5.
So far it likes it's possible to run either/or singularly, but not both Scope 5's concurrently. Not sure.
Right now both installs are turned off in the startup, so I'm having to start the program in 'normal' fashion rather than from the taskbar.

I'm ready to call Germany and wake those guys up so I can get my keys :)

I think the only rotary controls that allow this are the one with a led ring around them like on the BCR2000 (motorized knobs: i don't think it exists),
or infinite knobs like on solaris (leds replaced by lcd value display, or like on noah). I wish the bcr2000 were half size: they are ridiculously too big with lots of lost space between the knobs (i guess to let people write down things under the controls, but even with this, they could have made it half the height if they were not so after cut-cost at behringer...)... when they go with higher resolutions in their factories (like for the processor printing resolution, 0.15 micron i think) then, the music world of midi controllers will change for smaller sizes and more controls. i don't hold my breath waiting for this though ....
ok, sorry to break the ambience :-)

I'd probably be close to losing it if I could get it to work.
