Ultralite mk3 Outs

Post by kitchsync »

Is it possible to route the audio from a computer to more than just the Main Out 1-2 at the same time?
I want to send the same signal to a speaker system and to the front of house.
Can't find anything in the manual.
I'm using Mainstage (Logic Pro) BTW for live performances.
Thanks,
J M

The ULmk3 has a feature where the main outputs can mirror any other output pair. So you can configure the playback software you're using to output to analog 1-2, for instance, and then set Main Out Assign to analog 1-2. Now the same audio signal appears at both output pairs.

Thanks, that's great. Obviously I'm still getting my head around the Ultralite.
It's a great little box.

No, unfortunately the original UL doesn't have this feature.

any motu hardware with more than 1 set of analogue outs should be able to perform this. use the "Motu Audio Setup" menu (microphone icon)
