Implementing mono outputs with Roland Octa-Capture

[ryanchris2009]

Could someone help me out with getting SCS set up to send 5 mono outputs using the Roland Octa-Capture? I need to send out to 4 separate speakers and a subwoofer, preferably without having to go through a separate mixer and aux sends, which is how I've achieved multiple speaker selection in the past. I'd like to go straight out of the Octa-Capture to a series of 32 band EQ's (to adjust for the subwoofer) and directly into the amps. Thanks.

In Production Properties, set up your sound devices as 5 mono devices. I don't have an Octa-Capture so I can only guess at what choices you have under 'Physical Device', but if the Octa Capture shows stereo pairs then for your 1st mono device select the stereo pair 1-2 and select 'L' as the 'Output'; for your 2nd mono device select the same stereo pair but select 'R' as the output; for your 3rd mono device select the stereo pair 3-4 and select 'L' as the 'Output', and so on.

Thanks Mike. That actually helped. I did find that you have to change a Patchbay setting so that output 1 & 2 respond to WAVE 1-2, not Mix A, which will basically put a mix of everything into the 1-2 outputs.
