002/Cubase/Soft Synths

[Faisal Baig]

Hi , i am interested in buyingthe 002 running on an Athlon machine.
I was wondering about the following features and i cant find the info anywhere. I hope someone here can help me out.

1. Can a host program run on 002 hardware ? eg Cubase SX.
2. How stable are soft synths on 002---would like to use Reason , Native Instruments and Sampletank.
3.Can the 002 used as a control surface for Cubase SX ?
4. How good does it sound ?
5. Whats the Protools 5.1.3 Midi Sequencer like in case i do all my work within Protools ?

Hoping for replies.

Thanks a lot

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Those are some good questions.
I don't have an 002 but from what I have read here
Cubase SX probably only will work with ASIO driver
and give you one stereo channel.
I would like to know myself but unless something has changed with PTLE that is it.

I doubt that it can be used for a control surface for Cubase either.

The 002 comes with 5.3.2 PTLE software and the MIDI is ok as far as I know but it probably won't
be as complex as Cubase SX.

Phil O'Keefe can probably fill you in better because he just bought one.
