Author Post prb2k Newbie Registration Date: 21-08-2005 Posts: 6 Was thinking of buying an Emulator X as i've heard they're pretty good. Just have a couple of questions on them (which the EMU site dosen't answer, btw)... 1. When using it is a VSTi in Cubase, how many VST outputs can/does it the sampler software create in the Cubase audio mixer? For instance, Kontakt will create upto 16 outputs or HALion creates something like 4 stereo and 8 mono outputs 2. Is it possible to use the card is a standalone all-purpose soundcard (for gaming etc etc)? Thanks in advance. 25-08-2005 13:07 daze_DND MYSTIC Registration Date: 01-11-2004 Posts: 327 Helpfulness rating:  yes i'm a emu x user ...and i'm loving it 1.....u can get up to 16 outputs (or even 32( !)outputs if you have a second midi-port to control the next 16 channels with). Anyway,more then enough....i never have filled up all 16 outputs so far...if you play that much sounds in real-time , yr system will go nuts 'fo shure (see below) 2. shure u can use it for gaming i guess.....don't know really, don't play games on my production-system...but i don't see why u couldn't do that, just as long as it is yr master-soundcard. Note! * make shure that u have a very good pc if yr gonna go for it.....it's extremely processor-hungry. Some sounds even overload my system when just playing a chord(yes , just a few notes)....like some piano-patches. but there are ways around this (freezing /bouncing tracks to audio). *....but it sounds amazing....and the editing-options are next level. *it's a pretty complex beast at first but if ya get the hang of it, it will blow u away..... put some time and effort into getting to know the interface and u won't regret it...... Hope that helps a bit. __ info/tunes :: MySpace 29-09-2005 17:53 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Hardware » Anybody here got an Emu Emulator X?
