anybody succesfully run this with an audio card other than Emu's? i have the old EmuX setup, but i'm curious if i can run X2 as a VST with a different audio card...

I haven't tried it (I use a 1212M with Emulator X) but there's no reason it shouldn't work.

All you have to do is make sure you've got an E-MU 2x2 USB MIDI interface or XBoard plugged in while you use it. Alternatively, you could leave the DAS installed and use that...

wasn't sure if two cards and drivers would cause issues...i'm going to try it out, let you know by the end of the week :tu:

Okay, I understand what you're asking now - just know that some people have had issues, and some haven't. In general it SHOULD work. It helps if you make sure there aren't any IRQ conflicts.

Why don't you just get that.....ah nevermind. :hihi:

I've had a Pulsar II and a Soundblaster Audigy in my computer for years and never had any conflicts or anything. Works just fine for me whatever that's worth.

cool...i just ordered the M Audio Delta 44 and the guy at Musicians Fried was basically laughing at me (quiet jup 8!)...he claims that you can somehow use the new audio docks with the old 1010 cards if you remove the firewire connector, but i couldn't find any info...i figure i can test the Delta 44 (i got 45 days to return it), if it sucks i'll figure something else out...

haha...i just won a bid on ebay for an 1820 for $104 or something (i had a friend do it, she's an ebay queen)...now i have to cancel the Delta 44 card...MUCH HAPPIER!!!!

:lol: i love it...

Yes, it works--I've used it very breifly with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 26.

In theory all you need connect is their usb midi interface, which acts like a dongle (that does something).

I'm sure there are gotchas out there though...
