Subject: Is emu the rfx32 card any good?
Message 11/14 27-May-02 @ 07:51 PM - RE: Is emu the rfx32 card any good?
have they added additional filters with a bit of more agression than the onboard filters into a plug-in for the rfx? The onboard are creamy like my mks-80, but somtimes you want a little chirp and squeal. Some filter distortion would be nice.
Waves for yamaha isn't a plug-in thing though. It's a hard wired MiniY card that just does those fx. Not plug-in architecture I thought. If you have info on that tell me more about it.

what do you meant "its just a card"?
FX on d8b are also dependant from plug-in cards. of course, you can purchase additional fx separately, but you´re stuck with the DSP which is dependant on how many fx cards you have installed. and everytime you want to use another plugin you have to wait for it to "download" itself from the mainframe onto the card, which takes quite a bit let me tell ya. lets say i never change plugins during a session.
i find the yamaha plugin card solution more elegant in any case, because the fx are always there for one, and you dont have to choose between those and native fx, but have access to both in parallel. on the other hand, you can have many more different plugs on the d8b.
and btw, waves card also has optical i/o on board , so your connectivity isnt compromised by losing a slot. on the other hand you can install many (cant remember exactly but its a lot, 8-10 i think) cards on the d8b, but loading all those effects would be comparable to loading samples from a floppy, if you know what i mean.

the wave my card has optical huh. Due to power issues in the o1v many of the my cards don't work, like the apogee.
