R24 Recorder Interface Controller Sampler

Multitrack recording has never been easier
The R24 provides 24 tracks for recording and playback (up to 8 tracks can be recorded simultaneously) in full fidelity WAV format (16- or 24-bit, at 44.1 or 48 kHz sampling rates), 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 or line-level sources directly to the R24 or use the built-in stereo mic pair for minimal setup. You can also plug instruments such as electric guitar or bass right into the R24. When your multitrack recording is complete, you can use the internal mixer, complete with real faders, equalization, panning, and more than 100 built-in DSP effects - including amp models and mastering effects like multi-band compression - to create a stereo mix with studio-quality sound.

 

Create music any way you like
The R24 is a pad sampler and rhythm machine, too. Eight velocity-sensitive pads allow the triggering of up to 24 samples, drum sounds, or loops. 400 internal loops and drum patterns are provided, along with a 2-GB SD card which contains 500 MB of loops and patterns from Big Fish Audio. There's also a USB flash drive included which contains an additional 500 MB of drum loops recorded by Grammy Award-winning drummer Peter Erskine.

In addition, you can create your own custom samples and loops from recorded audio tracks. Quantization and time stretching can be applied to ensure perfect synchronization. Three playback modes are available for each pad (Repeat, Gate, and 1Shot), and the onboard audio sequencer allows step entry of drum parts when absolute precision is required. Best of all, the R24's multitrack recorder is fully integrated with the pad sampler and rhythm machine, allowing a wide variety of production styles to be accommodated. However you choose to build your productions, you'll find the R24 to be the ultimate creative tool.
