Aggregate Device using Helix in OSX

Hi, wondering if anyone has yet tried to configure the Helix with their existing audio interface to create an aggregate device in core audio? I ask because the reamping feature is a huge one for me but I wonder will I need to choose the Helix as a sole interface in order to use it for this purpose? While it's very cool to have an interface built in there's no way it's replacing my Metric Halo, and it'd be great not to have to continually swap.

 

There may be a very simple approach to this that I'm missing but I've got a cold and I'm pretty dim at the best of times. Thanks for any help

If you want to create an aggregate device, you'll be limited to 48Khz sample rate which is what Helix can run on in class compliant mode until we create a mac based audio driver.

 

USB channels 7-8 are dedicated for reamping, so you can send to those channels from your DAW to re-amp the signal. But yes, it was designed to be the audio interface for that scenario. Check the Global Settings -> Ins and Outs.

Thanks very much, I don't have a unit yet but that sounds dandy, rarely work above 48 anyway. Though by all means dig in on the driver dev!
