synkrotron 577 Posted January 1, 2019 Hiya Peeps, No hardware sub-forum yet so I thought I'd ask here. I want to increase my number of inputs. I could get a new fit for purpose interface but I know that you can link two OCTA-CAPTURE interfaces. I am pretty happy with my OCTA-CAPTURE so I can't see the point in going down a new interface. Unless, of course, linking is a PITA, in which case I would love to hear your thoughts. Also, while I am here, I know I could have asked on other forums but over the years I have found the Cakewalk community the most helpful and best to get on with. cheers andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
synkrotron 577 Posted January 2, 2019 Looks like I'll be the trail blazer on this then... I guessed it would be a bit of a long shot. I'll let you know how I get on (unit ordered and delivery expected tomorrow...) cheers andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rebel007 4 Posted January 4, 2019 Hi synkrotron. I have two Octocaptures. One for my desktop, and one for my laptop. I remember hooking them together once as an experiment and they worked just fine together. It didn’t take too long, but as I said, I only tried it as a test so it’s not something I do on a regular basis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Due in the next couple of hours. In the meantime I've been digging through my extensive supply of cables and seeing what I can do to improve and set up my studio. Kind of exciting! 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
synkrotron 577 Posted January 5, 2019 Well, it arrived... A lot of time spent head scratching but I think they are working together now. I connect my Roland MMP-2 to my O-C to give me two more analogue inputs but it gave me a bit of a problem. With just the one O-C I could connect it with the O-C turned on but now when I do that it screws everything up, so I have to remember to turn the MMP-2 on first and then turn on the O-C's. Still having to compromise my inputs it seems... I thought 18 inputs would have been okay but I was wrong. Funny thing is the manual says that when you have two O-C's connected you get a total of 24 inputs and 20 outputs but I cannot see those as physical connections on the units so I am going to have to contact someone at Roland. cheers andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurre 169 Posted January 5, 2019 Isn't it the usual. One hole equals two inputs/outputs. Stereo plug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Except for the SPDIF which is a coaxial stereo connection. I've come to the conclusion that the manual is wrong... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
