Bought a DC-Coupled interface, now what to do next?

I’m also using a PreSonus. I suggest you read through this, as it has been carefully written:

Pitch-accurate sequencing between Rack and hardware - an illustrated guide

This is an illustrated guide to sequencing hardware from Rack, and sequencing Rack from hardware, with accurate pitch, using a DC-coupled audio interface. When using Rack together with hardware synthesizers, be they modular or other synths, there’s lots of attractive opportunities for integrating them, into a combined, hybrid system. This can be done over MIDI or over audio channels, and the following deals with the audio based option. Sending audio, triggers, gates, LFO’s, envelopes and such s…

I found this video helpful as well:

Komplete Audio 6 DC Coupled cabling and voltage boost

In short, you should use one of Rack’s callibration modules (I can recommend Expert Sleepers’ Voice Controller, very easy to use) to “tune” your interface. Since mine is USB-powered, the output is very low voltage. So I use an external amplifier module to adjust it to wanted levels. It’s a bit cumbersome, but works.
