Open SCOPE DSP platform released!
Today, the German company Sonic Core released their awesome SCOPE DSP platform (formerly developed by Creamware) as an open DSP platform.
This opens doors for third party developers to write/port their software and plugins for/to this DSP Audio platform.
Wouldn’t it be great if Cubase/Nuendo integrates in the SCOPE technology using the OPEN SCOPE API ?
for example:
_"Parseq - A SCOPE powered DAW.
Parseq is a new music creation software supporting a seamless SCOPE DSP hardware integration. It is one of the first applications utilizing the new OPEN SCOPE API.
Features
Just like in a common VST host you are now able to load the SCOPE synthesizers and FX directly into the tracks of the Parseq DAW, create and arrange MIDI sequences for the synthesizers and create effect automations.
All channel strips are calculated and mixed on the SCOPE DSP hardware, just like you are used to from the old SCOPE v5.1 software. Additionally you can add tempo synchronized audio tracks, resample the SCOPE output and export whole tracks as audio files. On top of that Parseq offers full VST support and latency correction to unite the power of SCOPE with all the possibilities from the VST world in a fully integrated, easy to use software application.
Concept
Parseq is designed to be as open as possible with the core application developed by AudioBiscuit and the possibility for users and 3rd party developers to extend it’s functionality through a custom plug-in format (for example to create new integrated sequencers or channel strips for the mixer) and an extensive LUA scripting engine._
_"For SONIC CORE “sharing our talents and resources” means to open our technology. It is our seed to The New World of Music. It is revolutionary: if you ever had a vision of an excellent DSP hardware powered audio solution in mind,it can now be realized by using the OPEN SCOPE API and SCOPE DSP hardware.
The first two applications currently being created based on OPEN SCOPE are the SCOPE 6 studio environment by Sonic Core and the innovative Parseq by AudioBiscuit. Both applications are designed to be “open” standards, and can be extended through everybody who wishes to implement his ideas.
What SCOPE is about:
SCOPE is an excellent and powerful DSP Audio Platform consisting of hardware and software running on a computer. Since years SCOPE is well known for its excellent, analogue-like sound quality, its outstanding flexibility and variety. In the past SCOPE only was able to load plug-ins that were created on the SCOPE development kit. SCOPE was a closed system. Now, with OPEN SCOPE, every imaginable DSP hardware based audio solution is possible.
SCOPE also means a huge talented and loyal community of creative and professional musicians, producers and sound designers as well as developers around the globe. Without these friends, SCOPE would have never become to what it is today. So, SCOPE actually means this: love and passion for music, for true people and for true sound. SCOPE ever was magic. It ever was a cult – through the people who are connected to it.
What is OPEN SCOPE in particular?
OPEN SCOPE is the most powerful DSP audio hardware open for 3rd party “visionaries”.
develop any kind of software application that requires a strong DSP hardware
use any C++ library to create an application using SCOPE hardware
the software is easily adaptable to MAC OS / iPad / Linux / etc…
implement the SCOPE DSP hardware in your system, whatever it planned to be:
a guitar effect rack, a synthesizer, a digital mixer, an IO interface or (as we did) an XITE.
OPEN SCOPE GUI API
The OPEN SCOPE GUI API (Graphical User Interface / Application Interface) provides a way to create GUIs for OPEN SCOPE applications and plug-ins.
Features:
OPEN SCOPE is the most powerful DSP audio hardware open for 3rd party “visionaries”.
no limits to what a new GUI can look like
create modern, up to date interfaces
add the features you are missing
based on a cross platform framework for OSX, Linux, iOS etc.
any C++ library (e.g. JUCE, QT, VST GUI etc.) can be used
completely detached from the previous SCOPE SDK
no longer limited to controls provided by the previous SDK.
JUCE
To use JUCE is one way to create GUIs for OPEN SCOPE applications or plug-ins. We provide a demo application using the awesome JUCE library from Raw Material Software (used in many VSTs and music applications), a full doxygen documentation and a quickstart guide to get you started. Using JUCE to create the GUI allows the use of an easy to handle wysiwyg editor."_
