    Is anyone using the Icon Platform M+ or X+ as a midi cc controller?

    Hi, - AFAIK, no compatibility issues with W10 - unfortunatly, I don't use it with Cubase so I couldn't help. - Feedback is the key feature why I'm so glad using Reaper + Realearn. This is really changing my workflow, as it's now possible to jump on a fader in the middle of nowhere and change...

    Is anyone using the Icon Platform M+ or X+ as a midi cc controller?

    Hello, An old thread, but I post here to tell something that could help. I recently bought a Plateform X+ to permanently get 8 MIDI CCs faders. I'm using Reaper with the Realearn addon, and I can tell it's fantastic (among things because it's adding MIDI feedback to Reaper). So easy to map...

    Fujitsu server as VEP Machine

    Thanks @RSK . Benchmarks look similar to mine. Today I removed the 5 fans (after boot) and monitored cpu's temps while being stressed (not me, the cpu) by CPUID @100%. I'm very surprised : things go perfectly well. Ok temperature slowly went higher than 52° so I stopped the experience, but...

    Fujitsu server as VEP Machine

    Yes that's it. I just build a great 5900X on a Gigabyte 570S that allows max 128, and I wanted to try things on this 192Gigs boat :) Worst case scenario is using it as a NAS with a RAID 5.

    Fujitsu server as VEP Machine

    Yeah true, it will go to the basement (if things go well...). Maybe I will just use it as some super-starship-NAS only. The values I get in Latency Mon don't seem really compatible with Samples. @RSK , @darkogav , did you have good results with those monsters ? With what CPU, RAM... ?

    Fujitsu server as VEP Machine

    I bought a very cheap (and not that old) server to try some experiments. It's a Fujitsu RX300 S7, onboarding 2x Xeon E5-2640, and 192Gb RAM (!). Would you say this machine absolutely needs Windows Server, or W10 is ok ? Thanks, Michel

    Any thoughts on this 5900X build ?

    Ok. I'm coming from Intel so I didn't know that AMD's behaviour. 5900X can go really high in temperature, without "overclocking" it, I can see... Trying to change the order, but I'm afraid it's too late. Thanks. Keep you posted.

    Hi Pictus, Thanks for this reply. Passive GPU is a good idea. Cheaper one either, and that's good as I'm using 5 screens (so 2 GPU needed). That's some dark side of AMD as Intel gets some onboard GPU. The tweaks you're describing looks a bit complex (to me). Isn't the "studio driver" a...
