Default Re: # of Voices per DSP Problem

Just tried a brand new set of flexcables between the core card and the 1st & 2nd process cards. Still no improvement. I had a bad DSP chip on my second process card so I had digi overnight a replacement process card. Today I got the replacement card, dropped it in slot 2 took out both of the original process cards, so that I was only dealing with a good working core card and a brand new process card and a brand new flexcable. What happens, same thing. 1 DSP for 48 voices....no problem, works great. 2 DSP's for 32, 48 or 64 voices....rice crispies...snap crackle and pop.

I just don't get it. This pretty much rules out that the problem could be in the flexcable. The core card works great when it's on it's own but when a process card's DSP is used for voice allocation, I get problems. Most times I can get away with working with 48 voices...but the minute I have to tell a client that my $20k rig can't do any more tracks becasue of %@#$$^%, I'm going to get look stupid.

Please digi, a little attention here. I'm stumped. Spoke to tech support yesterday, and they were like "uuuuugggghhh!"
