HD Native PCI w/o Omni?
A few years back I bought a new OMNI and HD Native setup.
The OMNI's front panel inputs stopped working some time ago. Will the HD Native card be of any use (increase plug-in capacity) with a generic USB interface? |
Re: HD Native PCI w/o Omni?
On further thought, the fact that the OMNI and PCI card are connected by a data cable, makes me think one won't work w/o the other.

Re: HD Native PCI w/o Omni?
That is correct. The PCIe card is useless without an HD interface hooked up to it. It can not be selected as an interface.
You may be able to find a used Omni on Ebay or on the forums here. There's also the Focusrite Red interfaces which have Digilink connections as well. |

... or if you are on a limited budget, the old blue DigiDesign branded interfaces are also still working well

We use "old" Lynx Auroras with HDN cards.
A million times better than Omni. Never had one stop working either. |

They are all still running their plugins on the host computer CPU. Only HDX cards do processing of AAX-DSP plugins. There's now plenty of debate if HDX is a hinderance now (and host CPU the better choice for all things) in other threads but just wanted to clarify what an HD Native card/thunderbolt box can and can't do. |
