I/O Expansion by using the OCTA-CAPTURE with the VS-100/VS-700
Operating Requirements 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.
Updating the VS-100/VS-700 Updating the VS-100 You’ll need to perform the following updates in order to use expanded I/O functionality. 6. Click the [Scan SMF] (not required on a Mac), and verify that the update files (_00001.mid–_00008.mid, end.mid) are shown in the file list. 7. Click the [Send] button • Update the driver to version 2.00 or later File transmission will begin. • Update the system program to version 1.50 or later Transmission status is shown on the screen.
Updating the VS-100/VS-700 Updating the VS-700 You’ll need to perform the following updates in order to use expanded I/O functionality. Checking the version of the VS-700R I/O 1. * VS-700R I/O Editor is an application that allows you to use VS-700R I/O with applications other than SONAR. In this case, we’ll use it to check the version. • Update the driver to version 2.00 or later. (Windows only) • Update the system program to version 1.30 or later. Read the contents of Readme.
Updating the VS-100/VS-700 Updating the VS-700C console Updating the VS-700R I/O CPU and DSP * In order to update the VS-700C console, the VS-700C driver must be installed in your computer. * You can update the VS-700R I/O CPU and DSP simultaneously in a single operation. 1. Disconnect all USB cables from your computer (except those connecting the keyboard and mouse). 2. Make sure that the VS-700R’s power is switched off. 3. Disconnect everything from the VS-700R except for the power cord. 4.
Updating the VS-100/VS-700 Updating the VS-700R I/O FANTOM VS 1. Disconnect all USB cables from your computer (except those connecting the keyboard and mouse). 2. Make sure that the VS-700R’s power is switched off. 3. Disconnect everything from the VS-700R except for the power cord. 4. In the VS-700R’s top panel, remove the expansion cover; then at the right side, turn SW1 “4” on, and turn the other switches off. 5.
Connecting the VS-100/VS-700 and the OCTA-CAPTURE Connecting the VS-100 and the OCTA-CAPTURE You’ll be able to use the OCTA-CAPTURE and VS-100 as a 18-in/16-out (of these, 2 IN/2 OUT are used for synchronization) audio interface with ASIO on Windows or with Core Audio on Mac OS X. In order to connect two the VS-100 and OCTA-CAPTURE, you must turn on the VS EXPAND setting of the OCTA-CAPTURE, and set both units to digitally synchronize at the same sampling frequency.
Connecting the VS-100/VS-700 and the OCTA-CAPTURE 1. 2. Switch on the power to the VS-100/VS-700. If “USB controller does not match” is shown: The OCTA-CAPTURE unit will be the timing master. Connect the VS-100/VS-700 or the OCTA-CAPTURE to a different USB port, and keep trying other USB ports until the indication is “OK” or “Sampling frequency does not match.” Specify the sampling frequency (VS-100 Owner’s manual p. 52, VS-700 Owner’s manual p.
Connecting the VS-100/VS-700 and the OCTA-CAPTURE Settings for monitoring through headphones 1. Start up the OCTA-CAPTURE control panel. 2. In the lower left of the screen, click the [OCTA-CAPTURE EXP] button. Setting the sampling frequency 1. Disconnect the coaxial cable that connects the VS-100/ VS-700 and the OCTA-CAPTURE units. 2. Disconnect the two USB cables from the computer. 3. Change the sampling frequency of the two units. Set both units to the same sampling frequency. 4.

Appendix Troubleshooting Problem Cause Can’t sync the VS-700 and the OCTACAPTURE. Did you use VS-700 I/O Editor or the Control Surface plug-in to set DIGITAL 1 INPUT SOURCE to COAXIAL IN, and set SYNC to DIGITAL1? Have you connected the coaxial cable to the VS-700’s COAXIAL IN? Can’t monitor the OCTA-CAPTURE’s output through headphones.
