ok the module makes sense when i look at it =)
I will mustard up the guts to try this, up until now i just played on a semimodular like Marty Mcfly did on his guitar. with my hands. If you dont mind me asking before trying; As you say, 1824C only has 8 dc outputs, so why then “use one VCV Audio-16 for the 16 first input and output ports. use a second VCV Audio-16 for the 16 next input and output ports.”
Yep, you’re right - you don’t use the ADAT channels - the interface has 20 ins and 20 outs. the analog outs on the back panel follow the ASIO audio stream number.
Sorry for the confusion.
20? i see 8 inputs and 8 outputs?
oops, copied the wrong interface specs. that was a Tascam US-20X20
The focusrite has the 8 Analog + 2 spdif + 8 ADAT(Lightpipe) outs.
If you want 8 x full (-10 to +10 Volts) range DC coupled outputs, you can buy an Experts Sleepers ES-3 and connect it to the ADAT output.
I have the Presonus 1824C =)
I’m also using a PreSonus. I suggest you read through this, as it has been carefully written:
I found this video helpful as well:
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.

now I have a Ballrog sitting on my interface. =)
“Since mine is USB-powered, the output is very low voltage.”
That’s not what’s going on. Its a design choice. The manufacturer could have added a DC-DC converter to make +/- 12 V from 5V.
Many models to chose from from other manufacturers too.
I bought the Presonus 1824C, it is what i have now. I cannot switch.
yes the manual on the link seems that i can make it if i follow =) We will see what will happen in the djungle.

Good luck – and be sure to use the proper cable! Cheers and happy new year!
what do you mean with that, proper cable?
I see, thanks for pointing that out! I guess I was confused by this (from the specs page):
Since it is a bus-powered device, the Studio 26c has lower voltage rails than other Studio-series interfaces, resulting in reduced control-voltage range (positive to negative voltage).
Anyway, it’s an awesome interface, I can only recommend it!
You will need an specific type of cable. Just read through the link and watch the video and you will be fine

Right, i read that before somewhere that ordinary patch cables doesnt work. So I guess it will be presented as you say.
Happy New Year =)

I have a PreSonus Studio 1824c interface that I have been trying to use with DC-Coupling. I can get DC voltage out without issue, but it’s always audible through the interface’s master channels. Does anyone know how to stop DC-Coupling from being heard on the masters? Thanks.
He means that you need Floating Ring cables to insure you dont burn out your DC Coupled interface.
Even if they are on backorder Perfect Circuit does a good job of getting items to you ASAP. Ther are other places to find these cables, they can also be done DIY.

I had this same issue with sending voltage from VCV Rack to a Expert Sleepers eurorack module and it turned out I needed to turn off monitoring in my RME interface so I would suggest you check for it in the software that supports your PreSonus interface.
Hello guys, i still didnt manage to connect everything the normal way with midi. VERY good thin to know about the floating ring cables i had no idea i just bought regular patch cables. =)
