3 Stereo Streams via USB?
 

Hello,
I read in an Interview in a German Magazine, that the TI will have 3 Stereo Streams via USB in the future while reducing the bitrate.
An while it lasted so long to release the TI I wonder if the OS implemented in the TI is able to do this yet?
Or will it (still) be implemented in a future OS?

Regards

As far as the Access-Website says only 2 x Stereo. So i think it will be in a future os upgrade. But why the heck they didnt changed the interface into firewire within these 9 months? I dont get it.

juffi: Chances are the units were already in production ;)

Having a total of 6 stereo out will be more than enough for me(3 analogand 2 or 3 usb) :)

Re: 3 Stereo Streams via USB?
 

The current software implementation uses 2 stereo in streams for the Virus Control, and 1in/1out stereo for the ASIO/CoreAudio driver.

tk

p.s.: which magazine?

I would like to know that too. another stereo stream is more importent to me then a larger bitrate\sample rate.

These are just specs guys...

In reality if you were using more than 2 or 3 stereo tracks of Virus at anyone time...id say your using too much of one synth. 16 stereo channels sounds great....but it would be stupid to use and Id love to do battle with anyone who says otherwise :lol: 8)

Bass - Mono
Lead - Mono
Pad - stereo
Blips and bleeps - Mono
FX - Mono or Stereo

But who in their right mind would use just one synth to cover all these sounds?

Yeah, 2-3 stereo tracks of Virus is enough for me. I prefer using 1 synth per sound. However the supernova2 has great multimode and 4 stereo outputs, so I use it multitimbrally sometimes. I won't need the core audio channels of TI at all and I guess most of the TI users will have another soundcard which they use anyway so it would be great if we could use 3 stereo streams to the host sequencer. That would be enough for me. I usually use 1 stereo pad + 1 stereo lead from Virus if I need Virus. However, it's great that we can use the analog outs too.

Precisely. When I first heard that there was only going to be 3 stereo streams allowed over the usb connection I was one of the guys who made a stink. Then I realized what you just wrote, there is just not enough sonic space for more!

who is to decide what is enough? 2-3 stereo channels might be enough for some but others might need more.

and its not just about playing all sounds at the same given time. that is missing the point completely. how about the need of using different sounds with different processing setting throughout a song duration?
