Roland Octa-Capture Question

I have a couple of Octa-Captures so I will take a stab at trying to answer you here. There is no explicit bypass switch on the preamps but you can just eliminate any gain from them if you want. I do this for true line level inputs. They are very quiet.

That said, I have a Waldorf Blofeld with a pretty low output level that I boost with the pre-amps on my Octa-Capture. I don't get any noise by doing that. You can set up any channel to have a noise gate. I have a Juno 106 that has a line level output but is just noisy so I set my threshold to -55dB and that fixes everything for me.

Are you worried that the pre-amps on the Octa-Capture are going to add noise? Excuse me if my reply misses the mark for you. Just trying to address what I was assuming you might be trying to do.

See Post #172

I think that I only notice some HISS when using phantom power and when the gain is WAY UP high. But I have external pre-amps and use the phantom power with those and don't need to turn the gain up that high on the OCTA PUSS.

Thanks everyone I think I'm in.....
