My keyboard retailer can only supply Roland Audio interfaces. I read the specs and it looks good, but like second opinion.
Hello Fred:
Here is a single post thread where the OctaCapture gets a thumbs up for HW.
http://forum.hauptwerk.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11008
I downloaded the manual and I see it has some on board reverb. It's probably not all that great but at least you'll have something to 'moisten up' the sound if you want to try and demo any dry sample sets. I have a MOTU Ultralite Hybrid and I have choice of 4 types of reverb. All are very basic but it works fine as I only apply it to one sample set that is extremely dry.
Regardless, the reviews I read were all positive. When you think of audio interfaces, Roland isn't a name that comes to mind but neither was Behringer for keyboard controllers. I learned about them here on the forum and I really like my UMX 610. Granted after 2 years, I ready to move up and get my Rodgers wood core keyboards wired MIDI'd, but that's way off topic here.
