Thinking of selling on the Roland to cover the cost of the Korg. Will obviously try it out and try and get some …

Testing this lot out finally after having the Music Quest card for a good while now. Initially I couldn't get any of the Modules to work, Would not receive any midi messages. It turned out to be a dodgy breakout cable. Manage to 'Bodge' one temporarily and happy to say they both work. I have a Korg …

My Simmcon showed up yesterday. Tested with a 32mb simm and all is working great. Big thanks to Serge for bringing this back to life and making it accessible to all the AWE64 owners!

Having both a EWS64S and an EWS64XL I will be keeping an eye on this as more .94b soundfonts is always a good thing 😀

That's an awesome effort! Really impressive. I always thought about putting something together as i have an old Matrix Orbital MX2 LCD Display with buttons but its beyond my abilities. This is the LCD Display i was talking about.

Started work on my Time Machine tonight. I'm really looking forward to completing this machine and it taking over my 200mmx as my "Main machine" Initial install gave me no problems. Once i started to introduce the sound cards that's when the hassle starts! As it stands so far AMD K6 III+ 450 stock …

Added what I think is the final touch to this setup now, Some NOS Altec Lansing GCS100 speakers. Sound great and add that finishing touch to the system. I'm using the Iiyama LCD quite a lot lately even though I have a Realsys 17" CRT also.

Could you post the photo of the back panel, please? Are the cards daisy-chained? I mean, every card has only one line-in, so you can't really feed two cards' output directly into your Terratec, am I right? I've been thinking to try daisy-chaining three cards for a while, so I'm curious now. :happy: …

Hi All, I'm in the market for a cheap audio mixer. I've just added a 3rd sound card to my machine and would like to buy a mixer to be able to control the sound from each 3 cards. I'm interested to hear what you guys use. Ideally i'd like it to be small and cheap 😀 Thanks for the input!
