Hi guys!

Sorry for not posting any replies for so long - I was completely uninvolved in kX-related development for the last several months...

I'm not sure about my future plans, but I keep in mind the following features:

* 44.1kHz support for E-DSP cards (yes, I wish to play my CD collection without resampling on my 1212m card

)
* Vista x64 support - I have the CPU and the OS, and I'm currently working on a different x64 driver, so, I will probably have some time to spend on kX for x64 -- but this will most likely break any compatibility with existing kX plugins... (welcome to 100% 64-bit world...)
* Mac OS X driver: except for the hibernation feature and recording, I have no other plans concerning it, since I'm not using Hackintosh regularly, and my macbookpro comes without a pc-card slot in order to keep working on the drivers for a2zsnotebook... If anybody wishes to work on the KX API for OS X (or a cross-platform API), please drop me a message.

Please note: if you have something urgent to tell me, use e-mail, not the forum or private messages.

Thanks

E.

Hi Eugene (or Mr Garilov)

Thanks for the update. You are a good man! Making drivers and going the extra mile to make the experience very exciting!

I would like to say that you have been very productive releasing a mac version of your driver. It works very well.

I understand that you will tray and add 2 more final features for recording and power management. This is great.

However, will this include midi in & out?

The midi ports show up after edspctrl -reset so i guess your not too far away from getting that to work. I lent my friend my midi interface to plug the gap, so the sooner this is working the sooner it is back in my loving arms!

My friend also promised he would donate to the project if you get midi working!

Good old blackmail!

Anyway, had to get that off my chest!

Hope you are doing a good job now and all the best for your your future developments,

64bitkit

Yep, great to hear about recording and sleep for mac version.

I'd be happy to contribute what I can to getting the API working.

Mac Daddy · Mar 13, 2009, 12:33 AM

Eugene nice to see ya back on man keep up the good work

imperia · Mar 14, 2009, 03:00 AM

64bit version. very sweet. the only reason i am using 32bit windows 2008 is because i don't have driver for my sb live.

all the best to Mr. Gavrilov.

Oxtie · Mar 14, 2009, 09:26 AM

glad you're back... btw, I read @ neowin.net about (Snow Leopard) and (Windows 7) getting out somewhere between (May - July) and and they both happen to have 64 bit the way i read it...

zaurak · Mar 15, 2009, 12:33 PM

Solving the sleep issue and recording would be phenomenal.

KinChungE · Mar 17, 2009, 10:41 AM

i think fixing the 4GB RAM bug on 32-bit OS is MORE important than releasing a 64-bit version as most people are still using 32-bit OS

but most people using a 32bit OS have 2Gb or less, as Win32 won't read any more than 2.5-3Gb normally

what bug on 32-bit os? I'm using 32-bit os windows xp (pro, sp3) with 4gb ram, in system read only 3.5gb ram, but all working without any problem..
its not bug of kx drivers, its bug of 32-bit os..

p.s.
agree with more important support of 32-bit os by kx drivers..

bionikl · Mar 19, 2009, 04:07 PM

plz keep on worling...kx for mac os x...
try to make recording and midi work...and plz check with leopard 10.5.4 or better yet 10.5.5

thanks again for all your effort...

here going mad with kx drivers

This bug arises only on Vista 32-bit. On XP all works fine.

RPGWiZaRD · Mar 31, 2009, 09:20 AM

Wow did I read 64bit support? The only reason I'm sticking to 2GB ram and XP 32bit atm is kX drivers.

imperia · Apr 1, 2009, 08:20 AM

BTW KX works for me with 4gb ram on 32bit Windows 2008. That's like 3.5gb ram.

stylus02 · Apr 8, 2009, 04:38 PM

what can i say? version 3545 is the best i ever had running on win xp.

my wishlist: - configurable (more) categories in plugin- menu ( i know russ
wants it too

)
- full soundfont controller support (need it to adjust sample
start/loop points and other special things for kx modular)

keep up the good work eugene.

That has been available since 3541 (IIRC), but you have to edit the skin (i.e. each person has to edit the skin themselves to add new categories, etc).

stylus02 · Apr 8, 2009, 05:48 PM

thx russ, i see it was spoken about editing plugin- menu 1 year ago. i don't want bring up this tread again here. for all interested jump into this:

Hi Eugene!

I discovered the OSX driver today and I'm so happy that my E-MU 1820 is working with OSX now.

Recording would be very cool.

Any chance to have 96khz sample rate for the E-DSPs?

Not if it's not an open source project...

CRFX · Apr 22, 2009, 09:17 PM

x64 support?! Very awesome news.

Just want to add I very much appreciate your constant development of KX, probably the longest used piece of software I've ever used.

havvesom · May 9, 2009, 05:13 AM

thank you ! 64bit version. very sweet. the only reason i am using 32bit windows 2008 is because i don't have driver for my sb live.

Hey!

I've just registered to say a BIG Thank You for everyone who made this driver possible.
You made my Live! 5.1 work in Vista perfectly.

And btw, the sound from the onboard realtek sucks.

THANK YOU!
