Yeah me too. The whole package.
Using X1 now and hoping like hell the Fantom and the rest works with X2 in Windows 8.
 
Bums me out that Roland is still selling the system with 8.5......
WSS
 

Forgot a couple of additional reasons:

Inputs on the front of the Octa-Capture versus none on the VS700 and I never figured out how to use Fantom so never got any value out of it.

Cheers,

  Have them both, and wish I didn't. Easy to find aggravation without the 4K buy in.

listen


I have them both and have been using them successfully. Just purchased the Octa-Capture and waiting to use them together.  I hear that they work great together I will report back...

Yes, pls report back as my Octa-Capture and VS-700 dont sync at any useable latency ... others are having similar problems, no one seemed to have solved them lately
 
pls have look at the other thread where I added my problem description (http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2510822) but got no reply. Still hoping that it's just my current set-up that's below specs, but I only started shopping for a faster number cruncher so it'll be awhile until I can pursue this issue further ...
 
 

Got it, use it daily.
X2 with Octa Capture as well.

I've got the set and still have all the versions of Producer from 8.0 to X2 on my system...

Hi Norrie, I currently own a VS SET + extra R, however, both R's will shortly be up for sale (UK EBay only), I use the system often and I've just upgraded the I/O - keeping the console ATM. Looking forward to the arrival of the Integra 7. Enjoyed using the SET but I get serious gear lust!
 
Best, J
 
 

I put in problem reports regarding VS-700 and also the MCU about a month ago. Both still have status NEW assigned which either means their problem tracking database is not working (and I'm naiv) or they just don't care to look ...

Actually recorded a gospel choir concert utilizing 700 R, Octa-Capture and added digital inputs 24 tracks in totality and had no problems.  In fact, it ended up being so simple (learning lesson) I have some other choirs, etc... asking me to record them.  Additional income the way I look at.  No I did not take my controller out with me just used the mouse...

Using 700R & OctaCapture in the studio and haven't found a need to switch the settings for reduced latency yet!!!  Octa Capture  does work great and the auto-sense is definitely a plus.

I just joined the "owner" ranks this week. I had looked at videos and online reviews, off and on, for over a year. I finally collected the discretionary funds and placed my order for full system. Unfortunately, I somehow missed out on this forum and the trouble many are having/(had) with X2/(X1) and getting support. Now I'm in "setup hell" as the install disk only covered Windows XP/Vista and I'm running Windows 7. So I found the correct driver and it installed OK, but the VS700 Software install halted right after the file extraction. I can't even get the transport to start/stop play. I found a firmware update, version 1.31, on Roland's support page but they have this disclaimer - "We regret that we are unable to answer questions regarding the update procedure using this system program. Please perform the update responsibly, following the directions given in this document." WTH??? I go further and they say - "Be sure that VS-700C driver is installed to Windows PC or Mac beforehand and that it has been properly configured as a stand-alone device (without the VS-700R connected)". What does that mean??? When I disconnect the 700R, the driver settings won't even display!!! ARRRRGGHHHH

Hi everyone, I'm new to the Cakewalk forums, and also waiting on my V 700 set, it's ordered, just not on its way yet.  I've been using Cakewalk since Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 and update CW only when needed.  I've been watching forums and know the existing issues, but can't wait to get my hands on it.
 
I'm looking forward to learning and sharing with everyone, after all it's all about the music.  Right now i'm just a will have, but it wont be long till i can say, it's mine.
 
A bit about myself as an introductory to the group.  I started recording in my own small studio, (god it's been years ago) with a fostex 8 track reel to reel deck, and over time i've moved into the DAW world.  A drummer by training but also play keyboards and bass guitar fairly well, the guitar if it's a C G D song around the campfire count me in!  I'll be connecting my v700r to a MOTU 2408 as the slave (I hope) as I've seen some where that it's been done and i really could use the extra inputs as my drum kit takes up a solid 8 if not more.  I'm hoping that the 10 outs can be used for external gear routing and i'm sure i'll have more questions then valid answers.  Thanks for the great forum input from all of you as it's made my decision to get the V 700 in here ASAP much easier.
 
On a side note, i read in "Modern Keyboard" very recently that they talked to Roland/Cakewalk about fixing the issues known for the v700 platform and according to that article it's coming (crosses my fingers and toes.)
 
Thanks and let the music do the talking

Hello all of you.
I am a owner of vs-700 (both parts) and has expanded with a Focusrite Octopre mk2. I have not had to many problems. I talked to a guy at Roland today and he confirmed that the update coming now will address some issues with the 700. I haven't had time to use it much so hopefully everything will be smooth by the time I am ready to produce.

I'll be connecting my v700r to a MOTU 2408 as the slave (I hope)

 
Hi Nighttrax, I use a 2408 Mk 3 with the V700R via adat. It works quite well. I had to make the 2408 the slave unit, running in standalone mode, ( no PCI 424 card ). There is the one only ASIO driver issue, and the V700R does not run in standalone mode.
The V700R reverts to master clock in most situations. I have found it faster than the PCI 424-2408.
Use a BNC cable to sync the units and the 2408 manual will tell how to set the 2408.

I'm hoping to use the MOTU for the extra 8 inputs so i can use the MOTU for my drum inputs (as i have them being fed through a sperate mixer)

 
How many outs on your drum mixer? You will get 8 inputs in Sonar labeled 1-8 Digital 2. How are you going into the Motu from the mixer?

I have the VS700R but not the controller.  ...think it's pretty atypical.
