I think I will wait for an official announcement in this forum before installing anything.

 
Submit the question to Cakewalk support. This is not the support chat forum. I haven't dealt with the Octa-capture or I'd be happy to help.

Hi Crg,
 
I did and someone is looking into it.  I also found the updated pdf file so might try setting a restore point and installing them ... but that will have to wait until the weekend.

Hi Friends,

Just a brief update and hopefully clarification to any confusion regarding some driver updates. This is what I understood initially about this update but was waiting on official word for full clarification.

The OCTA-CAPTURE has just been updated with new firmware and new drivers. Basically this introduces a few things for OCTA-CAPTURE owners:
- The stand-alone control panel UI has been updated
- There is smaller available ASIO latency
- The Sample Rate can now be switched directly from the control panel UI

As I'm sure you're aware, the OCTA-CAPTURE has a function known as "VS EXPAND" to expand the total number of IO by syncing the ASIO drivers with another VS EXPAND supported device. Supported VS EXPAND configurations are:
- Two OCTA-CAPTURES
- One OCTA-CAPTURE and a VS-700R
- One OCTA-CAPTURE and a VS-100

So, with the OCTA-CAPTURE firmware and drivers being updated, VS EXPAND itself was also updated. Hence, the updates to the VS-100 and VS-700 drivers. The .pdf regarding VS EXPAND mode was also updated. Available at http://www.roland.com/sup...700SET&id=46170303

From my understanding there shouldn't be any risk involved for anyone (OCTA-CAPTURE owners or not) to update to the latest drivers drivers. I have not personally run into any weirdness with them.

Additionally, there is no firmware update required for VS-100 or VS-700 owners. However, OCTA-CAPTURE owners MUST update their firmware for the drivers to install/work correctly.

Lastly, VS-100 and VS-700 Mac OS X drivers have not changed.

I hope this helps to clear up any confusion. I'm not sure how many topics have been going around the forums during the past week (it's been very, very busy for us internally) so please feel free to share this info.

By the way, Happy New Year everyone! I hope it's treating you all well so far.

Thanks Ryan!

There is a risk for some of us. After updating drivers and firmware, I (and several others) are getting dropouts and glitches when there was none before. Roland hasn't been able to help with this. Each one individual works fine, but when they are synced the system becomes pretty much unusable. you can get the the dropout to mostly stop at the cost of VERY high latency.


Any ideas would be great!


I am running X1c x64, on Win7 x64 home premium , i7 2600k processor, 12GB ram.

Hi there! Have the problems been resolved with X1d or are you guys still on 2.0.0 instead of 2.01??? Cheers Rob

I have nothing to add, except that even though I have absolutely no use for any more ins or outs, I still want an Octa-capture to add to my VS-700.  Just because.  I'm sick, I know...
