"The JX-03 goes much farther however and allows you to use its USB port to send audio too. This works great on the Mac… so much so, that I only use the JX-03 in this way (I don’t use the analog output). You create what is called an “aggregate device” in the Mac’s Audio/MIDI application, name it, then use it as a virtual interface that combines not only your main recording/output interface, but the Boutique synth in addition."

When I do that (aggregate device with my Fireface 800 and Boutique) and create an External Instrument in Logic, I hear the sound of the Boutique out of the built-in speakers. Shouldn't I hear it through my monitors connected at the Fireface???

Hi Flonky, Turn the volume knob down all the way on the JX-03. Also, I've have better luck with shorter USB cables. Sometimes after powering off the JX-03 the device needs to be re-added to the Aggregate device. Simple click the device, then re-select the "boutique" check box.

I'm writing a new article on tips and tricks when making an Aggregate device so keep an eye out for it.
