Furthermore, you can integrate external audio signals live: regardless whether they originate from a microphone, electric guitar, analog synth or 19" effects rack. The SCOPE Fusion Platform brings everything together. It's the ideal environment for your creativity.

• Route your microphone live through the excellent MasterVerb reverb plug-in or send your guitar live through the SCOPE Platform's tube-simulation effects.
• Route audio tracks from your sequencer in realtime through the 19" effects rack in your studio.
• Integrate your external sound generators and effects devices live into the audio sequencer.
• Work with professional monitoring during recording sessions - without the slightest ASIO delay.
• Mix and route all audio signals in your studio within a single environment, without limitations.
• Play virtual synthesizers and samplers really live. SCOPE eliminates the timing and latency problem, instead of just diminishing it.

The highlight of the high-calibre collection of DSP effects is the outstanding MasterVerb - most likely one of the best-sounding reverbs you've ever heard. So dense and smooth - you'd swear it was a big studio processor. Also included: various dynamics and modulation effects, as well as filters and a graphic equalizer. All of these effects are likewise live-computed by the DSPs and place no demand upon your CPU's computing capacity.

Mixing

Mixer Package I 
 
The highlight of this package is the deluxe STM 2448 Mixer - a professional mixing console which need not shrink from comparison with large studio consoles, but which is nevertheless easy and intuitive to use.

Selected features:

• 24 channel strips, individually mono/stereo switchable
• 8 recording busses (subgroups) with global routing matrix, 2 Inserts per bus
• Internal effects per channel: EQ (dynamic 4-band EQ with selectable filter type per band: peak, notch, high-/low-pass, high-/low-shelf), compressor with sidechain, compensation delay
• 4 effect inserts and a direct out per channel
• 6 mono aux paths and a stereo aux path, 2 inserts for the aux returns
• Mute, solo, mix, solo defeat, exclusive solo, 8 fader groups and 8 mute groups
• Master section with two 2 switchable monitors, talkback and 4 effect inserts
• 5 different measurement points within channel strips for the peak meter and margin display
• Presets can be created for individual channels, individual effects and the complete mixer
• Remote-controllable and automatable via MIDI controllers
• The two additional mixers - the Dynamic Mixer and the Micromixer - are outstandingly well suited for use as submixers. Each one offers up to 32 mono channels or 16 stereo channels, mixer presets, VU meters and long-throw faders. In addition, the Dynamic Mixer is outfitted with effect inserts and fader groups.

Effects Package I and II  
 
Two collections of high-quality DSP effects processors. All are computed with 32-bit precision algorithms and are thus perfectly suited for 24-bit productions. All effects in the SCOPE Fusion Platform operate live and completely free of latency*. They can therefore be used with both internal and external signal sources - without DSPs, that would be unthinkable!

Effects Package I

Standouts in this collection are the delays with up to 5 seconds delay time and the high-quality modulation effects such as the extremely warm Hexa Chorus.

Sampling   
 
Pulsar turns your music computer into a professional sampler! With the DSP card as the reliable hardware and the STS-3000 as very powerful sampling software, you have a complete studio sampler right inside your computer. And it offers you fantastic possibilities.

Just some highlights:

• Stereo sampling at up to 32 bits / 96 kHz, resampling function
• Import/export: Akai S1000 & S3000, Soundfont 2, WAV, AIFF
• Multimode filters with resonance
• Comprehensive editor for sample-accurate editing
• Keygroup editing, velocity-switch, velocity-crossfade
• Stereo out and 8 individual outputs
• Load samples from the host computer's CD-ROM or hard-disk
• Polyphony of up to 64 stereo voices 

Synthesizer

The system comprises a complete collection of high-calibre synthesizers. From Analog to Wavetable, Vector and Drum synthesizers - everything is available. Even a complete Modular System with over 140 modules and 80 ready-to-use patches is at your disposal.

The sonic possibilities of the SCOPE Fusion Platform are virtually limitless. Let yourself be inspired.
 
Synthesizer Package I and II
 
Each of these two collections contains a complete palette of high-calibre synthesizers - replicas of well-known classics as well as completely new creations. SCOPE DSP technology ensures top sound quality, without compromises. Fat analog sounds, potent drums, inspiring wavetable and outrageous Vector Synthesis sounds! With these packages, you obtain in one fell swoop a synthesizer collection that others only dream about.

And since these sound generators are computed by DSPs, the boundaries between virtual and "real" instruments are blurred - because the SCOPE synthesizers can be played just like hardware instruments. There's no latency between keystroke and sound. You've never before been able to work so professionally and creatively with virtual instruments.

"The software synths available for this platform are among the best-sounding and most innovative I've seen yet."

Modular Synthesizer V2  
    
Have you ever bought 80 synthesizers at one time? With the Modular V2 this is now within anyone's reach. Because it gives you a spectacular collection of virtual instruments in one go: dozens of synths with hundreds of sounds, along with effects processors, sequencers and drum-computers.

With the Modular Synthesizer V2 you can also build yourself the instruments of your dreams! The system comes with a giant number of software modules which can be freely combined. You'll find oscillators, envelope generators, effects, pattern sequencers, filters and so on - in short, everything you need to construct synthesizers, drum machines, effect processors and more. Experiment and create your own personal sound!

Hardware and I/Os   
 
The PCI hardware of Pulsar II is every bit as innovative and efficient as its software. In addition to the power of the six SHARC DSPs, the Pulsar board features a flexible I/O system. Audio inputs and outputs, as well as a MIDI interface, are located on a daughterboard which mounts directly onto the DSP card.

There are four such I/O options to choose from. Each of them offers between 20 and 28 I/Os comprising combinations of analog, S/PDIF, AES/EBU, ADAT and Z-Link* inputs and outputs. For ultimate sound quality, all I/Os work with 24 bit and 96 kHz resolution.

The unique on-board Ultra-Low-Latency Interface ULLI allows for lightning-fast audio drivers. ULLI features hardware-based ASIO support and makes driver latencies of as low as 1 millisecond possible! Audio drivers simply can't get any faster.

Furthermore, the Pulsar card is equipped with two S/TDM busses to facilitate smooth integration of additional SCOPE-family hardware. Thus, you can upgrade your system with extra DSP power and more I/Os in a highly flexible manner.
