Hey this is great news, finally mac os is supported GREAT!
I waiting for long time this hardware update I hope this new scope have great success

behave now!

So, SC blew us all! OSX for Scope, new hardware, new software... I believe they catered for all of us - empowering old hardware and exciting new hardware! Love it!

Thank you Sonic Core! I hope this really takes off!

I am wondering should i try to manage future sell of my current cards? What about licenses on my current card? Should i keep them?

What software pack is delivered with xite-1?

Those 14 DSP card will drop in street price that is sure

This is probably some new EQ, Compressor behind, Some multitap delay or something...

So excited I am weeing out of my back!!!!

I guess i won't make it to Heaven now, cause it looks like i'll be selling my soul to get this. With 140 dsp's i'll be one of the worlds most powerfullest men.

First one pretty much spells "Compressor" to my eyes. The second one seems like a reverb based on what looks like an envelope/decay-display.

The last one could be a multi-parametric EQ.
and of course the mixer. Looks the same ..

For whomever asked about the PCMCIA. PCIe cards for laptop uses that form factor, but it's a completely different thing.
It should work very well on most modern laptops.

We might be looking at a workstation killer here .
As I only rely on SonicCore for processing, I hardly use any CPU-power at all on my present system.

Those black boxes....i wonder what they are

But where did you read info about 140 DSP ? I mean they can use some different chip maybe. Compatible with old processing just more powerful. Just like you can run stuff on core duo and also on old celeron. I dont know, just assuming.

Hopefully we will get those devices in V5 upgrade

What i meant was that the new hardware is 10x more powerfull then the old 14dsp cards so it is equevelant to 140dsp of old hardware. I don't know the actual dsp count of the new hardware i only read its 10x more powerful then old.

I pray that it is compatible with old hardware, tho i may still end up selling my old to help pay for the new.

damn .. I didn't want to go to musikmesse this year .. now I need to, grr.
you are at least one year too early

congrats !

Awesome news.

Congratulation to Sonic Core.

Let the development begin.

hmm. no Z-Link port means you cannot hook an A16U to it...

You can hook the A16U up via ADAT fr 16 I/O of 44.1K/48K.

Suddenly, busting up my Z-link on my A16U doesn't seem all that bad ..

The A16 Ultra has an empty expansion slot... Who said XTDM connector over there?

I´m litlle confused;

I have a laptop IBM thinkpad T40, has "Cardbus Texas Instruments PCI-1520" , I suppose this is not PCIe, but will have the same PCI bandwith limit than with the Magma?
We have reading lots of times opninions about the missing of RAM slots on the actual cards. It would be interesting for sampling...
Please, any Sonic-core guy can tell something about this?

Very good to see that SonicCore is taking the Scope platform to another level.

I did not use Scope the last 3-4 years, but what all this DSP power, I might reconsider that. Although I would also see to see some bugs fixed in the ASBs aswell, besides new gear

When you buy this, is it tied down to one interface? I mean I would use this connected to my PC. Could the same unit be connected to a laptop (obviously not at the same time) in other words - do you buy either a PC, Mac or laptop version ar is the same unit compatible across all three?

Where would you stand with licensing? If the licenses are to the unit as opposed to the PC, that means I would be able to take this to a friends house and set up onto his mac for a session (thereby showcasing the unit and possibly generating more sales!)

Refrochia, without knowing details, I think it is exactly like that.

I think this is a wise step.

Some people screamed for a firewire external unit, simply to be able to use it with laptops.

The others asked for a PCIe card design(like me), because the bus standard is way more reliable.

The approach making the dsp hardware autark from the interface is a very good solution, always future proof !

For example it could be possible that in 5 years PCIe is getting replaced by a new standard(unlinkely ) and mainboards do no more support pci-e slots, so they simply develop a new interface connector card for the new bus and thats it.

So this box seems to be a future proof investment.

if it is truly compatible to the existing plugins (including your solaris plugin) it is a solaris in a rack. or can be made one, at least

I am testing it now using the Solaris v5 plug-in, so....OK, you got me there! (All you'll be missing are the knobs and displays and new special filter and oscillator algorithms, of course!)

Hopefully these new filters and oscillators make their way into the virtual solaris version also.
