Hi Immanuel and BassDude,



It's not for giving contradiction to you, but i'm forced to trust something.


In these pages:
http://www.cwaudio.de/index.php?seite=s ... ct&lang=en
http://www.cwaudio.de/index.php?seite=s ... al&lang=en


We can see this:

Highlights:



*full-fledged 48/96-channel mixer for internal and external signals

*more than 50 exceptional effects, incl. MasterVerb high-end reverb

*9 virtual synthesizers: analog, wavetable, vector synthesis and more

*modular synthesizer featuring more than 140 modules and 80 ready-to-play patches
thousands of inspiring sounds

*STS-4000 professional DSP-based studio sampler

*live processing with no latency at all, for perfect monitoring

*32-bit floating-point processing

*SCOPE Live Bar for convenient control of the entire setup

*upgradeable with all plug-ins of the SCOPE Fusion platform

I think it's clear, and I doubt this could be a repeated typographic error, it is in the Highlights of the Scope Platform, as expressely written by Creamware itself...


BTW, 32 bit floating point calculations and audio files have prooved themselves very good for the sound. It is said by Analog Devices (Sharc DSPs used by Creamware), in their docs, that listening tests have shown that 32 bit floating point has been judged auditively roughly equivalent to 48 bit integer...


Even Pro Tools comes now to 32 bit floating point; the new TDM plugin Trillium Lane Labs TL Space Convolution Reverb Plug-in is said by Digidesign to have a "32-bit block floating point processing".




Cheers,
Grok

"The employed SHARC DSP was specifically designed to perform high-resolution audio processing. It always processes the audio with a 32-bit resolution, and algorithms and parameters are computed with a floating-point resolution of even 40 bits."

I'll tell Ralf, about the mess :wink:

Did you get an answer? I remember reading long time ago that scope was at 32bit integer and I was thinking the write up in the new brochure may be in error.

I read that to say audio signals are 'mixed' and transported around inside SFP at 32bit int. but individual devices have access to several math modes to do a variety of tasks (32bit int/flt & 40bit flt)...?

How tight is the midi timing when using Samplitude to sequence SFP devices?
