Hi all.

I am in the process of building a new PC and I can't find a motherboard with a PCI slot let alone two for my Creamware cards so it got me looking at other alternatives and I came across the external riser cards.

These cards typically come with a PCI-E x1 card to one or two external PCI ...

for the umpteenth time, the price is NOT for a driver. it is for the PROGRAM that loads the dsps. the driver is free. you can download it and install it. the driver alone will not do anything. it takes years to make a new version of Scope. you have to pay for that.

as to what you originally paid ...

Microsoft brakes backward compatibility especially with the windows number going up. It is not just about drivers, but about libraries and programming models. Sometimes, M$ includes some emulations mode, so people think the new windows is the same, but over time various reasons like security ...

So we have a anecdotal report that Scope 5.1 doesn't work with default settings on Win11.

For others considering a similar path that may read this, clearly upgrading to Scope 7 is cheaper than a second PC. And note I ran a second Scope PC for well over a decade (and still do, though I *did* build ...

Scope 7 is inexpensive


Well, 150 Euros is expensive for a driver that is under 200 kb in size. It's more than I can afford for something I don't use very often these days.

I would agree the v7 suite is inexpensive for a new purchase but from my point of view there isn't anything new in v7 ...

Hi all!

I don't know if anyone else was running Scope 5.1 on Windows 10? Last week I upgraded to Windows 11 and the workaround for installing the Pulsar II driver doesn't work with Windows 11. In the device status box in Device Manager there is an error icon with:

This device cannot start. (Code ...

Thanks, you're a star.

Hi!

As I posted in a different thread, I just upgraded to Windows 10 and the Scope software works perfectly. I have my m/b ASIO soundcard selected as the default audio device for convenience but when I load Magix Sound Forge 14 or Vegas 18 I get a box appear that says:

"The SCOPE application is ...

Ok, thanks.

Hi!

I just upgraded to Windows 10 (I tried not to) and I have got the Pulsar II working fine and dandy. Great. The problem (not really but still) is none of the plugins show up in any VST enabled programs such as Studio One, Ableton, Sound Forge and Vegas. I have checked that the files are in the ...

Hi all!

Some of you have said you have installed Scope 4 in Windows 7? When I try I keep getting the message that I need to install the driver even though it is already installed and Windows uses the Pulsar II to play system sounds.

Any help would be appreciated.

Because then i have to find a plug socket to power the unit whereas USB is self powering.

If you have a car do you push it along? Why have a technology only to ignore it?

System resources, you have to set that up, it is an extra hassle and above all else, I should not have to just to play with the synths!

Thanks for all the feedback guys, much appreciated!

I've had a little look at LoopBe1 but I am not sure it is what i am looking for. If i am correct LoopBe1 is a loopback device to take the midi out of a program to the in of another?

What i need is something which will make the Creamware Scope software take midi signals from my usb controller ...

Thanks, I will check it out.
