Eight Premium Mic Preamps
OCTA-CAPTURE boasts eight premium-grade digitally controlled
mic preamps (VS PREAMPS), built with the same high-grade
components as the preamps in the
V-STUDIO 700 and M-400 V-Mixer.
Eight XLR inputs are provided for the
preamps, plus independent phantom
power, low-cut filter, phase invert, and
digital compression for each channel.
Auto Input Level Adjustment
Never before has it been this fast and easy to set perfect input
levels — simply activate the AUTO-SENS feature with the push of
a button, play your connected instruments, and OCTA-CAPTURE
automatically sets the ideal recording
level for each input. It’s great for quick,
fail-safe audio capture when recording
either a fully mic’d drum kit or an entire
band.

OCTA-CAPTURE Specifications
Extreme Low-Latency Driver
OCTA-CAPTURE offers incredible stability and industry-leading
low-latency USB performance via Roland’s proprietary VS
STREAMING technology. All current Mac and PC DAW platforms
are supported through ASIO 2.0/WDM (Windows) and Core Audio
(Mac) drivers.
Thanks to VS STREAMING, you can use multiple devices (two
OCTA-CAPTURE units or one OCTA-CAPTURE plus a V-STUDIO 100
or V-STUDIO 700) on the same USB bus without compromising
stability, performance, or audio quality.
Four Flexible Monitor Mixes
Beyond traditional audio interfacing, OCTA-CAPTURE offers four
independent Direct Mixers for creating software-controlled monitor
mixes. Each mix can be routed to
any of the analog outputs and can
take advantage of the internal
40-bit DSP processing — perfect
for sending custom monitor
mixes to headphones, speakers,
or recording devices.
