Sonic Core Scope Xite-1 DSP Audio Platform Details

The Sonic Core Scope Xite-1 is based on the SCOPE Technology, well known for the established excellent sound quality, high degree of operational reliability and flexibility. The products combine powerful software packages and DSP hardware for computers, providing the system with inputs, outputs and DSP processing power. An immense variety of effects, mixers, samplers, synthesizers and other professional tools provide you with a highly flexible studio system that can be adapted to your special requirements.

The Sonic Core Scope Xite-1 does all the high resolution computations for the plug-ins you have loaded in your SCOPE software and handles the incoming audio signals, as well as the routing of all external or software devices on its powerful DSPs.

The sophisticated soft- and hardware architecture permits arbitrary system configurations. So it's your choice how to use your XITE: a mixing desk for recording, mix & mastering, an expressive playable instrument, or an effect rack that feels like good, solid hardware. Or all at the same time. In SCOPE you just load the required plug-ins and wire everything up to your liking. This way you can set up your personal virtual studio, which can be taken everywhere thanks to the optional laptop connectivity through the express card interface. The consistent low latency technology permits a comfortable, analogue like workflow. With SCOPE XITE you have your complete studio in one device.

About Scope DSP

The SCOPE DSP Audio Platform is a brilliant digital music production system for composition, mix- & mastering, (live-) recording, sound design and other applications around professional audio processing. The Sonic Core SCOPE DSP Audio Platform is made up of the SCOPE v5.1 software, which is your PC - based virtual studio environment, and the Sonic Core DSP-Hardware, which is in charge of the sample accurate computation of the audio signals and represents the interface between your virtual studio and your external hardware. SCOPE offers you excellent sound of best quality for your ambitious music productions. Refine your instruments and vocals with high quality effects to get a transparent, expressive mixdown. Use the SCOPE instruments to complete and enhance the sonic impression of your composition.

The SCOPE DSP Audio Platform offers unique extensions to your existing hardware for individual and best quality sound. Using the DSP Plug Ins you will quickly hear how much better your productions sound. Of course you can keep using all of your native software and external hardware. Thanks to its low latency audio performance a SCOPE System easily connects the native software world with your external audio equipment. The integrative concept of a SCOPE DSP Audio Platform will in any case enrich your setup.

SCOPE is a real classic and has set standards. Even if you don't know it: you already have heard SCOPE. And you can be sure it was in a music production that really impressed you. The instruments and effects from SCOPE have a characteristically vivid, full and warm sound. Especially the timeless sound of the virtual analog synthesizers get below the skin. No other digital audio solution has such a transparent and authentic sound like SCOPE. Besides, maybe, the originals themselves.

That's why the charming, sensitive and incredible sound from SCOPE is for example used in film productions, where it is important to touch and embrace the audience. The excellent sound from SCOPE emerges in all kinds of audio productions and live acts through its exceptional liveliness, depth and dynamics. With SCOPE your composition will easily catch the audience with energy, emotion and charm.

SCOPE is an insider tip and a mighty musical magic box that will meet your demand. SCOPE has the possibilities at hand you were always looking for. To express what it's all about. Create what music means for you: magic!

The considerable DSP power of the platform itself allows for implementing only sophisticated top-notch algorithms, we have always focused on quality. For example, the synthesizers on our platform rarely provide extensive polyphony but the sound just blows right into your face. There is, however, one more technological motive: The employed SHARC DSP was specifically designed to perform high-resolution audio processing. It always processes the audio with a 32-bit resolution, and algorithms and parameters are computed with a floating-point resolution of even 40 bits. If there are no such powerful structures at hand, programmers will have to make compromises regarding the resolution (accuracy) again and again for performance purposes; so the weakest link in the processing chain will often determine the sound. With SHARCs, however, you never have to compromise: the highest resolution is maintained during the entire process without affecting the performance. You can hear it in the results.

An excellent addition to my studio December 29, 2009
Reviewer: Daniel Sammut from Moscow, Russia  
Sonic Core's Xite-1 is an incredible piece of equipment that has become the heart of my home studio.

It's difficult to describe the sound of Xite's plugins as words like 'warmer', 'fuller' and 'vibrant' are very subjective but for me, that's what they sound like. I tried routing a mix I was working on in Ableton Live through one of Scope's mixers and I immediately noticed the depth, clarity and 'punch' my mix had that was lacking before.

Working with the Scope environment is like working with a hardware-filled studio. The environment is incredibly flexible - you can route anything to anywhere.

However, you lose the integration of working with your DAW's mixer. You have to save a Scope project separately to your DAW's session. In this way, your DAW becomes an extension to Scope rather than the other way round.

For those who'd prefer to mix in their DAW and use the Xite's plugins in their DAW's mixer, this is possible using Scope's XTC mode.
