“I’ve heard that it’s possible to use a Radikal Technologies SAC2K with more than one application at the same time. This would really be great for my setup. Is it true?”
According to the Sweetwater Technical Support Staff, yes! The new Drivers “virtualize” the SAC on the driver level and make up to 10 virtual SACs available to multiple programs. This feature allows you to operate and to change between multiple programs simultaneously. When switching between applications all control elements are updated on the fly via the USB ports. Data remains accurate even when one application has been sending automation-data in the background, as the virtual SACs act exactly like physical hardware, transmitting/reflecting just the current status during a switch. Updating of fader positions, display information and button status happens in fractions of a second.
The new drivers that allow this can be downloaded at the Radikal website.
