Privious versions :
SCOPE Fusion Platform Version 3.1
Software version 3.1 takes our successful DSP product line - Luna II, Elektra, PowerSampler, Pulsar XTC, Pulsar, PowerPulsar and SCOPE /SP - to its next logical stage of development. In this new version of the software the basic functions have been standardized for all systems. Furthermore, all systems now share the same underlying software: SCOPE Fusion Platform (SFP).
Intuitive operation was a particular focus for us in version 3.1. Working with today’s CreamWare systems is more efficient, relaxed, and creative than ever before. Starting with this version, the only differences among the systems (apart from the hardware) are the included device packages. Each package requires its own activation key which, as an existing registered user, you will find on your ”Personal Page” at the CreamWare website.
This logical extension to our modular system philosophy means that now a Luna user can take advantage of Pulsar effects or synthesizers, or that a Pulsar user can acquire SCOPE /SP components-for instance, the VDAT Recording Package or the Mixer Package II. You can get any of these packages at our website (
www.creamware.com).
Note for Pulsar XTC Users
As all our DSP products are now delivered with the same base software (SFP), this is also the case for Pulsar XTC. However, if you have not installed any I/O expansion for your XTC board you will not be able to start the SFP software. This is because the SFP signal routing system is of no use without I/Os. If, at some point, you add I/O expansion to your system, then all the features of the SFP software will be available, just as with the other DSP systems. Note, too, that the complete manual is installed when you install Pulsar XTC even though you may not have an I/O expander. In this case, only the XTC chapter and the individual descriptions (synths, effects, and so on) will be relevant to you.
What’s new in SFP v3.1c?
Differences between version 3.1c and 3.1a
Among other things, version 3.1c includes various optimizations and eliminates a number of problems present in version 3.1a including:
a new module, tripleDAT Source 2.06 -> 3.1, is supplied for tripleBOARD users who do not have the tripleDAT plug-in
problems with MIDI Controller presets in the mixers have been solved.
the MIDI-Control Ranger did not work correctly with MIDI controller preset changes
problems with frequencies/times/delays after changing the sample rate have been fixed
new WDM driver for W2K/XP
v3.1 projects using the Channel or DynamicMixer modules hung when loading
Bug fixes and improvements of the mixers: wrong EQ curves in STM 4896 fixed, no error ‘Recursion without delays” anymore when connecting aux sends with a channel, insert 2 of bus 1 in STM 4896 works now, MIDI controllers can be assigned to bus channels now, channel panel remains after closing the master panel, mono switch behind master inserts now, bus inserts are activated after reloading a project, mute settings of the aux returns of STM 1632 are correctly restored now, no white surfaces after loading a project anymore
improved performance when loading
error with STDM connections has been fixed
error with the VDAT has been fixed
error reading AKAI CDs has been fixed
errors when changing presets in the Synchrotron or other 2.x devices resolved
context menus in Classic mode do not grow anymore
Optimized changing of voice number
Inserts in slot 3 of the MultiFX are saved now
Vectron: combo lists are not truncated anymore, improved velocity modulation of filter cutoff
Rec button of the sequencer remote works now
Sorting devices in the Live Bar could cause a crash
various other bugfixes and optimizations
Modular III support
Version 3.1 innovations
SCOPE Live Bar
All SCOPE Fusion Platform products now include the newly developed Live Bar. From the Live Bar you can control the entire SCOPE setup. Select synthesizers and samplers, adjust sounds, open a mixer and establish the signal routing. A compact view of the Live Bar lets you place it over your audio sequencer to make all your Studio tools immediately accessible.
XTC Mode for All
With this version users of our Luna, Elektra, and PowerSampler products can now take advantage of the XTC mode alternative, allowing effects and optional sound modules to be used like natvie VST instruments directly within a VST-compatible sequencer.
Automatic Connections
When loading, devices automatically connect with the next available mixer channels as well as with the MIDI module. A new key command, <Shift> + N, allows sequential connections to be created or deleted much more quickly in the Routing window.
New Mixing Consoles
The mixers provided in the Main Studiotools Package are enhanced versions of the Luna Recording and Surround mixers, adding several new features and the ability to switch channels between mono and stereo. Some of the mixers (such as the STM 16/32, STM 24/48) are equipped with new Device Load fields for each channel, allowing you to load a device, such as a synth, and automatically connect it directly to the respective channel.
Preset Options
The Preset dialog now features a Compare function allowing you to switch back and forth between the current settings and a preset. There’s also an Info section where you can assign each preset to a category so you can show the preset list arranged according to category.
Yet more: Controller Presets now let you store and recall external MIDI controller assignments independently of the sound presets.
Background project now Standard project
The first time you run the SFP software it opens in the earlier OS display mode, so that the Live Bar appears over the sequencer without the background. If the Live Bar is closed, the current project continues to be active. Of course, in the Settings dialog you can still activate the earlier ”Classic” mode with a background and store another project as the Background project which is then loaded in OS mode.
Secure ScreenSets
ScreenSets, which you now manage in the lower part of the Live Bar, can be protected against unintentional changes by double-clicking the Lock icon.
Sample program conversion
The File Browser can now convert an Akai file in the copy buffer automatically to STS format. This means that you can copy a sample file (*.s) and paste it as a Wave file. Use the Paste as STS command in the File Browser menu to convert and paste it into the target directory.
Several example projects
You will find a diverse collection of example projects in the …SfpProjectsExamples directory. Use these as starting points form which to build your own more complex projects. An overview of the examples is located in the appendix of the manual.
Features not documented in the manual
The following new features unfortunately did not make it into the SFP Software manual at the time of production. Below are descriptions of and instructions for these features.
The name of a hardware module includes the number of the board in square brackets, if more than one board of the same type is installed.
Devices are no longer characterized by a diskette symbol in the Routing window.
The Modular is now referenced (that is, it is a device, and not a module, as before). Therefore you are now asked if you want to save your changes when you delete the Modular or store the project. With a new button you enable AutoSave mode for each Modular. If enabled, the Modular is saved automatically with the project.
