Hi Nick,
I use an RME 9636 (aka Hammerfall lite card) with pd, with an external ADAT DA converter (Swissonic DA24), 8 balanced outs, it works fine with native drivers.
About spatialization, there's the vbap external in Guenter Geiger's ggext external library, didn't try it but I'm interested too about spatialization tecniques (I'll follow the B. Truax and Ircam workshop about spatialization tecniques at the ICMC2000 in Berlin).
Regards
Alessandro Fogar

Hi,
Sorry, this is not exactly an answer to your question: in fact it's another related question.
I seem to remember there is some experience among members of this list of the RME soundcards under Linux, and using them with PD.
Has anyone successfully achieved multichannel i/o using an RME card
and
PD (Linux)? It seems to me one of the RME cards is probably the best
way
to go, in terms of h/ware spec and driver support, but if anyone has other ideas....
At the University of Glasgow here we are interested in setting up a Pd box to do some sound spatialisation stuff. If anyone has any info or experience in this area, I'd be interested to share ideas/problems as we'd really like to get this going quickly.
cheers,
Nick

Hello,
we use pd with multichannel on RME9652 and RME9636 since last summer with good results using the native rmedriver (kernel 2.2.15). I hope soon there is the ALSA-driver working. We are doing 3D-ambisonic (8 channel) to 16 channel mapping. Using mainly FOSTEX-VC8 ADDA converters.

Great! Thanks. That means we can go ahead and get the kit with confidence. What's your verdict on the VC-8? Nice price compared to an ADAT, but how's the quality?

Thats the great question:
its a nice price for 20Bit ADDA but they have no symmetric outputs/inputs, and can do only 44.1 from their own sync but can be synced from the card on other rates. We used them mostly because they are cheap and plugged them directly in the amps having the DAs besides the amps using long optical cables so quality is good enough (I cant hear any noise or distorion).
But since we need often only DAs the question is what other products are good ?? I would be interrested if someone has experience with other once.
In studios we have an ADAT-Matrix so we can switch them directly to other HD-Recording or use as for monitoring digital pruduction some ADAT-Mixers like Yamaha O1V or O3D and so on. We also used some Creamware ADDA, but everytime you switch them on you have to change the sync source before turning on the amps, this leads sometimes lower volumed ears ;-))).
But I idnt try other ones.

PS:We tried to get optical cables for cutting them ourselves but last time i didnt find any distributor (a year before I got them in electronic market). Has anybody out there an idea where to buy eg. 200m optical cable at good price ?
Hello,
As I said in my previous message I use a Swissonic DA24 (8 balanced cannon outputs) and I think it's a very good unit.
As the model implies it's a 24 bit unit with 48khz capability (no 96Khz but does it matter ?), the optical cable is included.
Infos at http://www.swissonic.com
I've bought it online at http://www.musicians-gear.com/ (Germany) for about 450 euros.
Ciao
