Multi Cllient ASIO source

Request a new device/modular module, and hope that some enterprising developer grants your wish!

Hi,

A multi-client, multi-channel ASIO source device would be very nice. It should be able to route multiple sound sources (like ACID, DAW, Rewire, Sound Forge, etc) to the Pulsar using ASIO. This way you don't have to use the Wave devices (low latency!).

To the best of my knowledge, this is a VST issue, not a Creamware module issue. Having said that a full VST 2.3 compliant ASIO module would be smashing.

Asio has neither to do with vst (beside both formats come from steinberg), nor with rewire (which was developed by propellerheads).
Asio is about how to talk with a piece of hardware, while vst is about the communication with a plugin running inside a host app and rewire is the conversation between two independent apps with 64 samples jitter.

The capability to access a multi client asio driver (e.g. rme has one) depends not only on the driver, but on the host app, too.
Better said the host has to have the ability to select a given amount of the existing asio streams. This is implemented very different in the several host applications if at all ..

Having said that, has anyone ever tried to limit the asio inputs inside the host to access the other streams with another app ?
I have sfp running on a separate pc, so I'm not using asio there anyway .. but on my rme/logic/ableton combo it works. ... well, not really fine (drop outs, clicks, etc.), perhaps for that the pcs still are to slow :smile:

best
Wolfgang

I tried to connect two sources (Sound Forge) to one Scope ASIO driver, but the first app took absolute control of the connection, no matter how many channels were used. IMHO technically it should be possible to write code that presents itself as an ASIO driver to multiple clients, but is in fact 1 multi-channel driver.
