Anybody know any PC software for real-time digital effects?

Question:

Seems to me that somebody somewhere must have written some – after all, the average pentium nowadays is more than capable of real-time chorus, reverb etc? Regards t’ya all and TIA

Well, it’s not exactly software, but the only I know is Creamware Tripple-Dat. This is an add-on board desinged for harddisk recording. The card has no DSPs. It’s only the software that provides the digital real-time effects. Different reverb types, compressor, etc. I think a Pentium 133 is lower limit. Costs about $1300.

Nope. Not even close. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Regards t’ya all and TIA

It’s not usable as a real realtime fx system. It does have the realtime option called ‘warp-mode’. In this mode the input signal is digitized, one or more fx are processed and the new signal is directly put on the output without storing anything to disk. It happens in realtime which only means that the system needn’t stop for the calculation. But the output signal is delayed for about half a second, or so. It’s useful, if you eg. want to copy something from DAT to analog tape and add some compression and eq on the fly. But you can’t use it in a life performance. Phil
