creamware in 1995 planning super compuert with 55 dsp system,they say in the same year scope system is one system with up to 100 dsp linkable search article in harmony central

sorry for my english

PS my accont was expires O_o im jpage

I have 3 scope x 15 dsp (45 dsp) and i'm happy for the life,consider also parallel system with other 3 cards likable via adat,
now i'm planned this

Sorry guys,iv been a bit buzzy last month with tracking,buying and restoring ARP2600,couple of Minimoogs,etc...

Still not yet tested 4 cards toghether,because d'ont have the mobo to do it.
But iv installing 3 cards in my test PC (old celeron 1GH)and this already works like a dream with an overflow of power.

Iv puch it to extreme by adding synths,and see in the dsp usage window that 1 DSP asyncronous works a lot (very high number),im wandering what this one does,transmission between cards??

Im still hesitate to buy a new mobo with 5 pci's to build a new daw full with cards or splitting the system by using that old pci have (wich would be cheaper)

The problem i discover in my test by puching the 3 cards to to max is that some dsp's on different cards are not used while the maximum power was reached!,i din't have used any FX in the test,so the bus of the pc was not charged,im wanderin if there is a limit for the internal data transmission bus between cards,and thats why it explains the dsp with the high number!!

I recently took one of my 15 DSP Type II's, and mixed it with 2 x 6 DSP Type II's, and it loads better than the 3 x 15 DSP cards which were a mixed variety of 2 x Type I's, and 1 x Type II. I can load the B2003, Pro-One, ProWave w/ 6 voices, Solaris w/ 8 voices, STM1632 with all four AUX's, and Softclip in the master FX slot, and it doesn't ask for optimisations, even at 90%. In the Type I, and Type II mixed configuration, I could do this, but only after several Optimisations. And those cards were cabled up to the max. If I could do it all again, I would have bought Type II 15's only. I have learned to take the advice from forum members. Buy the big ones, don't fuck around w/ the 6's. They are only a teaser.

wow scope4live! how can i see wich of my cards is typeI or II?

EDIT:ok iv search a bit on the forum,so type 2 cards are the one with a little connector behind the first tdm bus where you can plug a sync boardd into it?

In the forums ,some sayd SRB's are always type I,but mine also have that connector and its labeled SRB,so? (al my 4 cards have that connector)

this mystery is killing me? When are you actually going to try the 4 toguether out? I want to know what's going on...

Any news on how more than 3 cards went?....

...SOMAX...?

Of course the stdm cable must be modified. Althouh creamware prefers to discourage a risky creamware system (more than 3), it seems to be possible though...

Good luck !

I may be doing this very soon. I've got my cards in a 13 slot Magma with a free slot that shares an IRQ with my other 3 x Scope cards so I'm pretty confident that I can pull it off. I'll just need a 4 x connector ribbon cable.
