R12 overview
Terms used in this manual
Multitrack recorder (MTR)
A recorder that can record and play multiple tracks is called a multitrack recorder (MTR). The R12 can
simultaneously record up to 2 tracks and simultaneously play up to 8 tracks.
Project
The R12 manages recording and playback data for a single song in a unit called a project. The audio files
assigned to tracks and settings, including for panning and faders, are saved in project files. Up to 1000
projects can be created on a single card.
Region
The data from a single recording is managed for each track in units called regions. Regions for audio
recordings and rhythms are shown as waveforms while synthesizer regions are shown as performance
data (MIDI notes). Moreover, WAV and MIDI files on microSD cards and USB flash drives can be added as
regions.
Snapping
This function aligns regions to a grid when they are moved or edited. This enables editing to be conducted
efficiently.
MIDI file
This type of file contains MIDI performance data. The R12 can load MIDI files and add them as synth
regions.
Effect
A wide variety of effects can be applied to sounds, including distortion, chorus and reverb. By adjusting
effect parameters, you can create your own original sounds.
Patch memory
Patch memories store the effects used, their on/off states and parameter settings, allowing easy recall.
Effects are saved and recalled in units of patch memories. Up to 3 effects can be added to a patch memory,
and up to 50 patch memories can be stored.
