Can anyone tell me if Scope 5 for OSX also works with existing PCI cards?

Also what options are planned for XTDM? I was hoping for a version with at least 8 ADAT i/o giving 64 i/o (wishful thinking I guess)

The older PCI hardware should be compatible. At least their website says.

XTDM replaces STDM, so yes, it's for cascading.

Great video indeed and it is great to see both hardware and software "alive".... I think XTDM is confusing. Nothing to do with STDM cables right ? Any idea ?

thanks,

It's fairly obvious XTDM allows for the combining of at least 2 Xite-1 boxes. Hopefully more. :D
It's nice to finally see the real thing instead of the usual 3D-rendered images so common in the music hardware industry.

To be precise, software related to older harware is compatible, like projects and devices, but the PCI cards can't work together with Xite-1 as a single dsp environment.

yes, the older cards and XITE both use Scope5.

Looks great though! So cool to have Scope running on a laptop!!
Too bad I'll never be able to afford it unless they introduce a cut-down version at some point.
At least it wasn't some drunk shredding asshole playing out of tune/key. :lol:

You can also run two instances of Scope now - according to 'the gentlemen'.

I believe Holger mentioned networkability as well as being able to have separate environments running concurrently. (will have to go back through my notes).

It's apparently planned - according to 'the Gentlemen' at the booth.

Perhaps even slightly higher priority than 64-bit.

I presume these developments will start revealing themselves as Music Messe approaches in April, and obviously throughout this year.

In the meantime, maybe someone could test it in bootcamp.(?)

At Musik Messe last year - SC was planning separate boards for I/O handling and the actual DSPs, so they could support different I/O interfaces in the future - any news regarding this?

What about XTC mode?
They try to do at least some bug fix to that forget but really interesting way of using Scope?
Any news about?

You mean you can run two project windows using different hardware? Perhaps then you can run an XTC and a SFP project at the same time.
