Complete control

If you use DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software but hate mixing with a mouse, the R16 provides the perfect solution. It can act as a full-featured control surface for popular DAWs such as Cubase, Logic, and GarageBand, adding real faders and transport/status buttons that streamline the process of creating the perfect mix.

Multitrack recording made easy

The R16 provides 16 tracks for recording and playback in full fidelity WAV format, making it ideal for both professional production and for use as a musical sketchpad. Battery operation allows for field recording and enables you to capture your musical ideas quickly. You can connect external microphones, instruments, or line-level sources directly to the R16, or use the built-in stereo mic pair for minimal setup. When your multitrack recording is complete, you can use the R16’s internal mixer, complete with physical faders, equalization, panning, and built-in effects, to create a stereo mix with studio-quality sound.
