MOTU 828MK3 WITH EXTERNAL EFFECTS (LOGIC)

Post by NicDefn »

Hi Everyone

If you could offer any help with my problem i'm having, i would really appreciate it!

Basically my main DAW is Logic 8 and my sound card is the 828MK3 and i want to use my Roland Space Echo RE-150 as a send with CueMixFX. My knowledge on how to do this is a bit limited. But i tried connecting the output from the RE-150 to input 3 of the 828MK3 and then output 4 to the instrument input of the RE-150.

This works initially but i need input 3-4 from the 828MK3 for my stereo out of the Nord Lead and all the other inputs are used up by other pieces of external hardware.

So is there a way that i can use MOTUs sends on the back of the 828mk3 in conjunction with logic and my RE-150.

A step by step guide would be really useful

Really appreciate it guys

Cheers Nic

Nic,

I might have an answer for your problem. What is the audio source you wish to run through the Space Echo? Is it outboard equipment, instrument, or a recorded track in Logic?

Hi sorry for the extremely slow reply!!!

I'm looking to effect the audio signal from my external analog gear
i.e. MPC 3000, SH-101 or Yamaha DX7

i was looking at using Logic 8's I/O plug in but i cant seem to set this up?

I was also wondering what the I/O SEND 1 & SEND 2 Ports were for on the back of the Motu 828 MK3 and if these could be used in conjunction with CueMix or directly through Logic 8's mixer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Cheers Nic
