Macbook Pro 2012 + Roland Octa-capture

[bruno6thstring]

Hi Liam, It's a long time you posted this thread. But I was wondering if you got to buy the MacBookPro 2012 and the Octa -Capture and had any issues. Any news on your strugle?
I wrote to Roland customer support..this is the e-mail sent and answered:

RE: Support Request #99531


Product: OCTA-CAPTURE


Subject: Mac & USB


Question: Hi, I own an octa-capture that i use on both a laptop and desktop PCs running Windows 7. I make heavy multitrack recording, mixing and editing without any issues


A month ago I started co-working with a major studio that has all setup based on Mac Pro and iMacs running MacOS X snow leopard 10.6, all running ProTools 9 HD. My plan is to get a MacBook Pro and start working with Mac and ProTools 9


Since new MacBooks Pro 2012 ship with MacOS Mountain Lion and only have USB 3.0 my concern is about how does the Octa-Capture works with MountainLion...and USB 3.0. I read about customers who can't get octa-capture to work on USB 3.0. Are you working on firmware that will fix this? Please let me know! Thansks in advance.

ROLAND ANSWER:



Hello Bruno,

The OCTA-CAPTURE will work, and is compatible, with USB 3.0 ports. You can download Mac OSX 10.8 drivers here:

OCTA-CAPTURE :: Downloads :: Support :: Roland

If you have any problems with your OCTA-CAPTURE, please let us know and we will be happy to troubleshoot your setup--if a problem does arise.

We hope this is helpful.

Sincerely,
