ZENOLOGY PRO - compatible with Scope/Pulsar?

hi Folks,

just looking at this Roland Virtual synth offering for $99 USD. "ZENOLOGY PRO".
Looks like a pretty nice virtual synth package.

I'm running Pulsar I & II cards connected to an old Korg Trinity keyboard on Windows Pro 10. Is this virtual synth something I could hook up to my current ...

HARRISON MIXBUS - can't find Asio drivers

hi Folks,

I'm slowly getting the kinks worked out of my new Scope7 install.

I got Harrison Mixbus 10 a while back, and use it for re-mastering some of my SCOPE tracks over on my iMac. I'm just learning Harrison, it's a little more complex than my previous mastering favorite, Adobe Audition ...

Re: need PC-upgrade / mother board advice!

THANKS GUYS. I did finally get a guy on Facebook marketplace to build one for me for under $300, including Win10 Pro:
Motherboard: AsRock H97 Pro4
16GB ram
1TB SSD
2TB SATA

looks like it's got the right socket set, so I'm trying out 5.1 before I upgrade to Scope V7.

"Cannot set registry entry" re administrator right?

hi people,

Just got an improved PC setup to host my upcoming upgrade to Scope v7. I migrated my PULSAR 1 & 2 boards over successfully, finally got Win10 to get past the "ERROR: InstallDriver returned -2" thing, seems like both boards are recognized now. Trying out my old Scope 5.1 software and ...

need PC-upgrade / mother board advice!

hi Folks,

I'm running my old Pulsar I and II cards in parallel on an older Dell Optiplex 760 system, which has been ok in Win7. I'd like to upgrade to the latest Scope software, but need a somewhat newer and faster computer. The problem is, finding one with 2 available PCI slots for the 2 pulsar ...

Native Instruments Kontrol S61 vs. older Scope-Pulsar setup

hi Folks,

been out of the flow for a few years doing DAW work with my old Scope-Pulsar setup, and I'm looking to upgrade my old Korg Trinity to a spiffy new keyboard from Native Instruments called the Kontrol S61. Trouble is, I'm not sure if my old Dell computer (OPTIPLEX 760) running Windows 7 ...

Crackles in audio with Reaper

hi People,

I've been using Reaper with my Scope 5.1 setup for quite a while,
but lately I've noticed I'm regularly getting "crackles" in my audio.

These are just single internittant spikes in the audio, causing a sharp
crackling like sound. I checked the output of my Korg trinity and it's not that ...

we're gearing up to do the session in about 2 weeks; looks like we're going to be using the Scarlett 18i20 interface into my Mac Powerbook via Reaper for mono drum tracks. We're going to look at possibly hanging a couple of ...

Re: Advice on multi-track recording...?

You can easily stream 16 tracks through the adat interface using asio. Did that a lot with pulsar on pentium2 450 mhz.
Any DAW will manage that.
What is the sound you're looking for. Pop/rock....jazz....
All sorts of combos are possible.
First thing for all recording ways; well tuned kit and a ...

Re: Advice on multi-track recording...?

AD 1) It would surprise me a lot if your mac couldn't handle recording 8 mono tracks simultaneously in reaper!

AD 2) Any Analogue-Digital-converter that you can connect to your Scope cards fx through Adat would be a possible solution. You would propably need pre-amps of some kind also between AD ...

Advice on multi-track recording...?

Hi People,

I've had my home studio with Pulsar 1 & 2 for many years now, and still enjoying it, but have a new project that is challenging.

A friend who has a huge drum set is getting me to live-record him playing a session.

We plan to set up 8 mic's at various locations to focus on kicks ...

Re: Reaper update / driver issues

thanks Yaya ... what I had in mind was not so much transposing after it's recorded, but transposing "live" (on the fly), so you actually HEAR the transposed note "Live" as you're practicing or recording. Seems that was always a no-brainer with Cakewalk or Sonar.

Re: Reaper update / driver issues (solved! add "transpose"

hi YaYaJohn,

I fixed it. I ran the utilities that came with it - the reset to default, then the "show audio config" and I managed to re-set everything so that it recognizes the native SCOPE / ASIO stuff ok.

Odd, because I've updated Reaper many times, but never had to go thru this before.

Seems ...

Reaper update / driver issues

hi Folks

been using Reaper for a while now, and generally pretty happy with it as a sequencer.

But, just updated to most recent version and something screwed up.

Booted up Reaper and all my normal SCOPE-ASIO connections now showed up as "ReaRoute", and were not useable.

I googled a bit, seemed I ...

Thanks for a great suggestion. There was one music store in town that had an ADA-8000, so I grabbed it! Not a bad deal for $220! Seems to be working pretty good so far. Synth inputs are good. Drum machine is good. Acoustic Guitar w pickup is good. Old dynamic mic doesn't quite have enough ...

hi people,

I'm running an old Pulsar setup, cards 1 & 2 in parallel on a Windows 7 PC.

All is working fine, but I'm wanting to re-configure my input array, which is little haphazard and confusing.

I'm basically using an old Tascam 16-channel mixer as a hitching post for guitar, mic & synth1 ...
