Direct Mixers and Routing
In addition to its audio interface, the OCTA-CAPTURE internally provides four direct mixers (p. 46) and
a patch bay (p. 50).
Settings for these can be made using the OCTA-CAPTURE’s own knobs and buttons (p. 54), as well as
from your computer using a dedicated control panel (p. 43).
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. 46).
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 p. 50.

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. 43). 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.
