greetings,

i finally got myself a laptop and now for making some noise with it I was think about buying a RME hammerfall dsp multiface with a cardbus interface (pcmcia slot connection - OS WinXP) - infos: http://www.rme-audio.de/english/index.htm it seems like a good choice to me but does anyone have experience with

using

such a soundcard under pd ?!

Hi, it's good choice, no doubt. I am using the Multiface under Windows and MacOS.

With PD, you can use all channels with the provided MME drivers, but the latency is far too high for live electronics. It may be fine for just playing music, though. I have had no luck with the -asio option but i hope the PD ASIO support will stabilize soon.

hope that helps, Thomas

Hello,

I've been using -asio with Mark of the Unicorn's 2408mkII for approximately 5 weeks now with Win XP and it's working great!

It's a Firewire device and latency is unnoticable (which is to say that it's less than 20 ms but likely more than 5 ms. - I haven't run any serious tests on this however).

The -asio support in PD works very well for me with this device. I can use 2,4,6, or 8 channels of i/o simoultaneously. I haven't attempted to link a second MOTU interface yet, but theoretically I can use 3 devices simoultaneously for a total of 24 channels input and output.

The only problem that I've had so far is (not related to PD) that the device's 'firewire' drivers seem to be picky about which applications can access the device at any given time. For example, PD and the windows media player can use the device at the same time. Cool Edit Pro and the windows media player can use the device at the same time. But Cool Edit Pro and PD cannot! If Cool Edit Pro is opened on my computer, I have to restart the computer before I can use PD again -- this is annoying, but I'm not sure exactly where the problem lies, and so far I have always been able to work around the issue.

Regards, Dave Sabine
