signals and send-return effects can be used

through the mixer send-return bus. You can use

these effects in a wide variety of ways, including

during recording, by applying them to already

recorded tracks, and in the mastering process

of mixing down and bouncing.

■ 24-voice built-in sampler can be triggered

using 8 pads and 3 bank keys

Use the sampler to assign sounds to each track

(pad) and create loops. Play the pads in real-

time, and even create performance data for a

complete song by combining loops. By simply

lining up drum loops, anyone can easily create

professional-quality backing parts and basic

tracks. While listening to loop playback, you can

record audio on other tracks because the R24

recorder and sampler work together seamlessly.

■ Rhythm and metronome functions can be

used as guides and backing tracks

can create your own original patterns using

both real-time and step input. You can output

the metronome sound only to the headphones,

allowing you to send just a click to the drummer

in a live situation, while the signals from the out-

put jacks are sent to a mixer.
