CREAMWARE PULSAR | ||
The Pulsar 2 is a professional PCI soundcard featuring 6 SHARC DSPs plus extensive analog and digital I/O. All that DSP horsepower allows the Pulsar to provide a full-featured digital mixer, several software-based synthesizers, effect processors, sample players. The system features 20 I/Os (stereo analog, stereo S/PDIF and 2 x ADAT). Thanks to the 24 bit/96 kHz AD/DA converters, the utmost in professional sound quality is guaranteed. If you require more analog inputs /outputs, the handy external converter Luna 2496 I/O Box will get the job done. Alternatively, a 24-I/O daughterboard with three ADAT interfaces can be used. In addition to the drivers for ASIO, EASI, MME, DirectSound, tripleDAT, OMS and Sound Manager, version 2.0 software includes an ASIO 2.0 driver. Furthermore, the Pulsar II board is equipped with the newly-developed Ultra Low Latency Interface (ULLI), which also features hardware-based ASIO support. The ASIO driver latency can be adjusted to a minimum of 2 ms (!), thus enabling the configuration to be fully optimized for the host computer - including the more-powerful computers which the future will bring. The Pulsar provides a way to offload the mixing and (some of) the effects processing load from your CPU. You can still use your favorite DirectX plug-ins inside your audio application (upstream of the Pulsar), and then let Pulsar's digital mixer handle mixing and any other EQ, compression or other effects you wish the Pulsar to provide. There's more to I/O than just the physical I/O connectors on the card. Most multi-channel soundcards simply provide a stereo WAV driver for each pair of physical inputs and outputs on the card. The Pulsar allows the user to create 'devices' that correspond to external hardware that is connected to the card or virtual devices and WAV drivers to interface to your audio application. The user have the ability to configure the Pulsar by drawing virtual patchcords between audio sources (devices) and the mixer. Each patchcord represents one channel of audio, so a stereo device, like a WAV driver, would be connected using two virtual patchcords.
The Pulsar user can immediately benefit from the large library of around one hundred optional software modules, which were developed by CreamWare, by third party developers such as SPL and Sonic Timeworks, and by SCOPE users.
