Please note: In the above illustration SCOPE 6DSP can be
considered equivalent to a 6 DSP Booster and the SCOPE
14DSP to a 14 DSP Booster.
When you add an additional DSP card to an existing Sonic
Core DSP system, the sequence in which the software and
main board recognize the PCI hardware can change. You may
notice when you next start the software that different hardware
modules are present in the default project (i.e. SCOPE 14DSP
analog source/;dest, SCOPE 14DSP Midi A source/dest etc.
may replace SCOPE 6DSP analog source/dest, SCOPE 6DSP
Midi source/dest etc.).
After you decide which card is to be your 'main
card', create an appropriate default project that
includes the respective hardware modules (e.g.
SCOPE 14DSP analog source/dest to register your
SCOPE inputs and outputs). Details on creating a
new default project can be found in the manual on
the install CD.
After you add another DSP card to your system you may be
presented with a registration dialog (Register ?) when you next
start the software. Indicate your DSP card in the 'Hardware
serial No.' field, and enter the requisite Activation keys (found
in the installation guide or on the back of the card) in the
appropriate fields. Press Save keys and close the dialog with
the cross button in the upper right hand corner.
Generally it is recommended that the card with the most DSPs
is treated as the first, or 'main' card in a system. In particular
with SCOPE 14DSP this can be important, as the SCOPE
software mixers are distributed among the SCOPE 14DSPs. If
a SCOPE 6DSP card is located first, this distribution may be
changed, resulting in possible audio phase problems. If SCOPE
6DSP I/Os are registered in the default project of a system with
both 6DSP and 14DSP cards, you must change the order as
follows:
85
- Close the program using the small icon in the taskbar (rightclick,
close..., Windows) or, on the Mac, run 'SCOPE Stop',
found in the appropriate directory SCOPE:App:Bin.
- Open the file CSET.INI located in the program directory
..\App\Bin with a text editor (with the Mac rename the file to
CSET.TXT).
- Add the following entries:
[board0]
boardid=1
[board1]
boardid=0
- save the file (and rename it back to CSET.INI if you are
working with a Mac)
- The next time you run the software, the SCOPE 14DSP I/Os
will be present.
The above example is for two cards of the second generation
of DSP products. If you have a mixed system that includes
'older' Pulsar I, Pulsar I SRB and SCOPE, 3DSP, 6DSP and
14DSP, add the following entry as well
[HW]
numboards=2
for 2 boards (numboards=3 for 3 boards).
If you have more than 2 cards, or other unusual multi-card
'permutations' and have any problems, don't hesitate to call our
support with a detailed specification of your system. This also
applies if you have a system with three cards, and would like to
add another. Please inquire first for advice and the appropriate
support.
And now - enjoy your new powerful DSP system.
