Using Quad Cortex as interface with MacBook software synth (Fishman Tripleplay)

Thanks - If I am aiming to send audio from the MacBook (which hosts the tripleplay and synth software) to the QC… wouldn’t I set a lane ‘input’ to usb, rather than the output? All actual audio will end up going from the outputs of the QC - to my monitors, I just want to control my two sound sources (guitar and tripleplay synth) from the QC.
