Re: [PD] Firewire interfaces and PD?

2006-10-26 Thread padovani
Hmmm... I'm interested on the Firepod, but I am I little afraid about 
processing issues... It seens to be a nice soundcard since it has 8 
preamped mic ins, what could be very useful on interactive 
performances... no mixer or preamps needed at all.

Do you know anything about it?
About Motu... It seens a very good interface but not yet ready to work 
in linux.. Freebob team is working on firewire interfaces but the 
companies are not realy helpful on giving support... It is stupid, 
because I would spend a little more money to buy a Motu device if it had 
linux support. It seens that it will work on the next Freebob release...

And what about the Edirol interfaces? Any experiences?
Thanks for the answers...

yep. i use the presonus firebox and OS X 10.4.1 with PD.
it works absolutely well with both audio and midi. it only takes
more processing power, so patches run a little slower than
compared to the built-in sound. I think this is worth it, since
i also use it for multispeaker purposes and NEVER the two
(Pd and the Firebox) did they have trouble communicating.
seems the two like each other.
Once my old Firebox became unreliable so i contacted the
German distributer and the store i bought it from and within
two days i had a new one. Only downside is that i had to pay to send 
it pack.  I really like the Firebox. It was recommended to me by Kim 
Cascone, who has some years

of experience and he was absolutely right about this sweet little box : )

I have used the FA-66 with Linux (freebob on Ubuntu), and on OS X. I can
use very latencies c.6ms on Linux, with virtually no xruns, however
there is currently nothing in the way of software mixer/control/routing
functionality along the lines of alsamixer, hdspmixer etc. 

YMMV,

Jamie
