Direct Mixers and Routing

In addition to its audio interface, the OCTA-CAPTURE internally provides four direct mixers (p. 7) and a patch bay (p. 11).

Settings for these can be made using the OCTA-CAPTURE’s own knobs and buttons (p. 14), as well as from your computer using a dedicated control

panel.

Direct Mixer A, B, C, D

This allows the input signals to be directly output for monitoring without being routed through the computer.

You can adjust the balance among these signals and the playback from the computer.

The direct mixer is a stereo mixer that provides individual adjustment of volume and pan for each input and each playback channel from the computer.

You can control the four mixers independently. For details, refer to “Direct Mixer control” (p. 7).

PATCH BAY

This allows you to assign the output destinations of the four direct mixers and the output destinations of the playback channels from the computer. For

details, refer to “Patch Bay” (p. 11).

OCTA-CAPTURE Control Panel

If you want to fully control the OCTA-CAPTURE’s direct mixer and patch bay, it’s convenient to use the dedicated OCTA-CAPTURE control panel (p. 5). In

addition to the direct mixer and patch bay, this allows graphic editing of the OCTA-CAPTURE’s preamps and compressors as well.

Let’s try using the direct mixer while using the control panel.

Control Panel

The OCTA-CAPTURE’s control panel controls the OCTA-CAPTURE’s internal preamps, the four direct mixers, and the patch bay. The control panel will be

available for use after you’ve installed the dedicated driver.
