Is anyone using this interface with Pyramix Native? If so what do you do for monitoring?

Thanks

Hi,

We are using Madiface units with two Asus notebooks. Currently there is no way to select more than one device which Pyramix Native can recognize. We feed multitrack direct outs from Pyramix/Madiface via an RME Madi Bridge into a Yamaha console, and mix and monitor with the console. Alternatively you could make a mix inside Pyramix and monitor out through the Madiface into some device which can accept Madi.

I spoke with Claude Cellier yesterday at AES, who told me that developing capacity for Native to deal with more than one ASIO device will be included in future plans.

Meanwhile, I will mention in this post that the Madiface cards so far have behaved perfectly, as long as care is taken that they don't fall out of the laptop. The Express card is the weakest computer interface I have seen so far...it appears to lock into place, but even a very slight tug on either the card or the Firewire cable pulls the card from the chassis. For more on this, see:
