I am looking at the E-MU 1616 PCI Card for use with Hauptwerk v3. According to the information on the E-MU Web site, it is fully Win XP and Win XP 64 compatible. There is no mention of Win Vista 64. Does anyone have a word on whether support for Vista will be added in the future?
My interest was drawn to the 1616 as it has 3 stereo pairs of analog outputs. There is also quite a good price to be had for this particular card (less than $300 US).
My particular desire is to invest in a card that will migrate with me when I move to a 64-bit operating environment, will allow me to use ASIO, and will give me an opportunity to experiment with routing different ranks or divisions to multiple speakers. Here, then, is my question concerning using multiple sound channels in Hauptwerk v3:
Can Swell be routed to the first two channels (either two Mono or one Stereo pair), Great and Pedal to the second two channels, and then a mix of Swell and Great and Pedal to the third set of two channels (where perhaps reverb could be added)?
