Roland Octa-Capture Instruction Manual

2
You can use the OCTA-CAPTURE together with the VS-100 or VS-700 to expand the I/O. In order to expand the I/O, you must update the drivers and
system software.
VS-100:
System program version 1.50 or later
Driver version 2.0
VS-700:
System program version 1.30 or later
Windows driver version 2.0
Mac driver version 1.0
* There is no need to update the OCTA-CAPTURE.
Operating Requirements
NOTE
• The DIGITAL input connector is used in order to synchronize the VS-100/VS-700 with the OCTA-CAPTURE. You’ll need to obtain a coaxial cable
separately.
• This setup cannot be used at 192 kHz or higher.
• An internal hard disk drive that’s 7200 rpm or faster is required.
• In order to use this setup at 96 kHz or higher, a separate SATA hard disk drive is required as the audio recording destination. (This setup will not work
with a USB hard disk.)
• Depending on the application you’re using, the operating requirements may exceed those listed above.
