TRI-CAPTURE

More akin to a mixer than audio interface in its industrial design, TRI-CAPTURE gives you hands-on controls for the most essential recording parameters. Three input paths are clearly labeled, with dedicated input knobs, peak indicators, phantom-power switches (for condenser microphones), and a Hi-Z input. You can record and play back at rates up to 24-bit/96 kHz for extra detail and clarity — great for capturing pristine vocals or acoustic instruments.

TRI-CAPTURE is equipped to handle a wide variety of patching scenarios. Plug an instrument into the 1/4-inch inputs (Hi-Z switch), plug a microphone into the XLR mic input (phantom-power switch), and plug stereo instruments or devices into the AUX input. Balanced 1/4-inch TRS outputs and a stereo headphone jack are provided as well.
TRI-CAPTURE’s USB terminal is your one-cable connection to your Mac or PC. The interface is USB bus powered so no separate AC connection is required. TRI-CAPTURE is compatible with industry-standard ASIO 2.0 and CoreAudio drivers.

TRI-CAPTURE's unique REC MODE section lets you choose instantly between three recording scenarios. (1) When you set the recording mode to “MIC/GUITAR”, you can record microphone and guitar sounds onto individual tracks. (2) When using “ALL INPUT” mode, you can record microphone and/or guitar sound in combination with the stereo output of an audio device. (3) With “LOOP BACK”, you can record microphone, guitar, and/or an audio device's output externally to software by combining audio data played on the computer. This is optimized for web-streaming applications such as Ustream.
A master mute switch is also provided, as well as an INPUT MONITOR switch.

Every TRI-CAPTURE package includes a complimentary copy of SONAR X1 LE software for PC, which is designed to work fluidly and seamlessly with the interface. Derived from Cakewalk's award-winning SONAR X1 DAW software, the LE version give you a powerful set of software tools for writing, recording, editing, and mixing your music.

Roland introduced the world's first USB MIDI Interface, the S-MPU64, in 1998, as well as the world's first USB audio interface, the UA-100. In 1999 Roland debuted the world’s first USB MIDI sound module, the SC-8850, which could supply 96 simultaneous parts. In 2003, we launched the world's first multi-port Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) audio recording interface, the UA-1000.
More than just being the first, however, Roland has maintained a meticulous track record of product stability. Solid, low-latency ASIO drivers are the basis of our USB products. We develop our USB MIDI/Audio drivers in house, which allows us to optimize the specs for each product, and gives us the flexibility to quickly update our drivers to correspond with new OS releases and to add new features.
