Alright, I figured some of it out & Deej helped me with the
rest over the phone, as far as which modules to start off with
& how the connections are made, etc.; BUT... Pulsar apparently
doesn't have 88.2k as a samplerate option, so I can't use it
on ANY of my projects! Now, it does have a "slave" option, and
I could clock it in a couple of different ways, but IT DOESN'T
HAVE A WORD CLOCK ON THE CARD!!! Deej said I would need the
Pulsar "Sync Plate" for that... hmm... if Deej knew that, why
didn't the guy who sold it to me, considering I went into
explicit detail about what I was trying to accomplish and asked
him if it would work with my setup?
Fuck.

Neil,
Man, that's drag but without the sync plate, you will not be able to use it
on the same machine as your Multiface cards. The only suggestion I have is
to load the Pulsar into that other computer (it's got it's own DSP so CPU
horsepower won't be an issue) and then stream the Cubase tracks over ADAT
from the Multiface units on the native DAW and slave the Pulsar on the other
DAW to ADAT sync from the Multiface units running at 88.2. With 16 ADAT
inputs you would have 8 x channels at 88.2 summing via SMUX.. That would get
you up and running until the sync plate arrived:

Damn!!!......sorry this ended up being such a clusterfuck.

Hey Neil,
One other thing that I've just gotta say here since I referred you to the
person you bought this from is that after working with him pretty
intensively over the last month, I feel I can vouch for his integrity. This
guy knows his way around the studio and has gone above and beyond for me,
taking calls from me at home on Sundays even and I really think something
must have slipped between the cracks. I know how frustrating this stuff is.
I've been dealing with the same kind of thing for over a year with my RME
hardware and you and I have been friends here for years and I sorta' feel
personally responsible for your woes right now, but certainly don't think
for one second that Gary would intentionally misrepresent the system or it's
capabilities to make a sale.

Which is ironic in a way, since for me the RME stuff is
reasonably inuitive & extremely stable and sounds so fucking
pristine that I don't wanna part with it.
>and you and I have been friends here for years and I sorta'
>feel personally responsible for your woes right now
You are not repsonsible in any way for my woes, and my woes
with regard to this particular piece of hardware will be over
as soon as I get reimbursement for the card & shipping both
ways (yes BOTH ways - he should've never sold it to me in the
first place if it couldn't do what I explained I was looking
for it to do, so he's going to have to eat shit on the return
charges as well).

I don't know that he intentionally misrepresented anything, but
rather I think that he was just too busy lecturing me on his
views of why I shouldn't be using anything higher than 44.1 or
MAYBE IF YOU HAVE TO, 48k in the first place, so he probably
wasn't really listening to what I was saying.
Some people just don't listen to their customers.
