No way.
That ain't going to happen.

SFP runs on Analog Devices Sharc 32 bit float processors.
Protools TDM run on 24 bit integer Motorolas.

This is a joke.

May be it's not really a "setup and run" thing, may be it's some kind of agreement between some TDM pluggin developpers to create SFP versions... who knows??.. that'd be really nice for all of us.., don't know for protools users.

maybe some kind of TDM emulator for SFP?

or maybe this means that CW is being taken over by Digi....

after John's Solaris there's probably not much need for this

specially at $795 suggested retail price...

I agree astro. I couldn't give a stuff about Virus - hardware or software.

Solaris - yummy!

otter: why not?
Apple acquired Emagic
Tascam acquired Nemesis
Sony acquired Sonic Foundry
Adobe acquired Syntrillium
Fender acquired Jackson
Pinnacle is acquiring Steinberg

CW effectively has a desirable hardware also for Digi and now also a complete and stable OS...

Digidesign belongs to AVID on which M$soft holds a minority - and all three are working together very closely.
Until they haven't kicked that PALLADIUM and DRM bs publicly off the table I consider them enemies.
Mr. $Bill himself admitted that the 'protection of artist's work' opened their eyes for the real potential of that approch, if it would be applied to data flow in office apps and email systems instead of CDs.

cheers, Tom

You mean Fairlight?

I fail to see the relevance of this as the Fairlight consoles use Sharc processors as well.
So instead of programming their own plug ins they bought them from CW instead.

You can't run TDM plugs on CW cards period.

Unless Digidesign changes from Motorola processors to Sharcs. Or CW changes from Sharcs to Motorolas. Which is very unlikley.

I'm still happy to hear that Fairchild is working with Creamware. Even if nothing interesting comes to the Creamware platform from Fairchild (which I doubt will prove to be true) having more associations/partnerships with big name companies is good for the Creamware name.

fairchild??

That CW is working with big companies is of course a good thing.
But i still fail to see the relevance this has with wether or not SFP will run TDM plugs.

btw. FAIRCHILD made the probably the best compressor ever made. But are out of buisnes since forever.
FAIRLIGHT is a australian company that more or less invented the digital sampler.
Now they make digital recorders and mixers.

Fairlight went out of business a couple of months ago. However, it's not the first time they went bankrupt, so maybe we'll see them back some time later.

I met the gurus behind Fairlight several times: once when they were getting big and famous; another time when they were at their peak and had just released the incredible A$100,000 Series-III machine; and again when they were goinf down and struggling and were hoping for miracles with their (I think) Voicetracker (?).

Their story is a little sad: great idea that flourished briefly, was crushed by cheaper technology, and then for decades after struggling to get back again. Sort of like a "one hit wonder" band...

Farlight is now mainly making video editing systems for professionals (great systems). Fairchild on the other hand made the great airplane Fairchild Metro.

everything explained, cleared up and informed!
Great.
