First Post Alert !

Hi All,

First post so expect much praise and a brief intro.
And sorry in advance for mixed forum contents, but I just wanna keep it all together. I won't do it again. I've been having so much fun with kX recently I just had to join in.

I tried kX a year or so back but never really got into it.
Had another try recently.
Tried a little DSP (well, the volume control example). From then on it's just snowballed. "Expanding the Potential Exponentially"...so true!

First, me!
I'm 49 from near Nottingham, UK and work as an electronic engineer.

First and foremost I'm a PC gamer, yeah I know

, but I do have a musical past and I like to venture out into music technology once in a while.
I use Cakewalk 7 with SyncMod and Reaktor 2.3 and Audigy2 Value (SB0400)

I originally used my SBLive! (because of the MIDI port), which was OK but quite limited DSP-wise. So I tried both cards and has some issues with soundfonts. I (think) I have now settled for just the SB0400 and I am setting about configuring my virtual studio.

So a few thanks are inorder:-

Eugene Gavrilov
for kX

Lex Nahumury
for the ProFx (PS I also can't get the Synth to work with "Version: 5, 10, 00, 3538 - debug"

LeMury
for the simple DSP intro - I think that was THE thing which really got be back into kX.

TravelRec.
mainly for the UART1 connection on SB0400! I now have a working MIDI in on my SB0400.

And all the other contributors who I may have missed.

Right, off to trawl the forums - I'm looking for any advice on configuring the audio routing. I know how to do it, it's just that the options are so great I was wondering whether there are / were any recomendations?

Welcome to the forum

The ability to create your own plugins is indeed a very bug plus. I am surprised that more people do not try such things.

As for recomendations, that really depends on what you want to do at the time (so be specific). Most of have several configurations that we save/load for specific purposes. It is best that you just continue to play around with it, and read the guides (and forum (and check out the Preset Exchange)), and learn how it works, so that you can create your own custom configurations based on your own needs.

BTW: Lex Nahumury and LeMury (a nickname) are the same person.

Usually big gamers shy away from KX given it has no EAX support althought the sound Quality is better. Do you miss EAX when gaming?

Can't say I've noticed, really.
The only time EAX did crop up was when I tried to re-run Beyond Good and Evil. It moaned about EAX missing. However, when I reinstalled Creatives own it still complained it was missing. I just ran the exe and it appeared OK.
