R20 overview
Terms used in this manual
Multitrack recorder (MTR)
A recorder that can edit multiple tracks separately is called a multitrack recorder (MTR). The R20 can
simultaneously record up to 8 tracks and simultaneously play up to 16 tracks, making it ideal for recording
entire bands as well as drum sets.
Project
The R20 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 in units called regions for each track. Regions for audio
recordings and rhythms are shown as waveforms while synthesizer regions are shown as performance
data (MIDI notes). Moreover, WAV and SMF (Standard MIDI File) files on the SD card or USB storage can be
added as regions.
Snap
This function adjusts regions to a grid when they are moved or edited. This enables editing to be conducted
efficiently.
Standard MIDI file (SMF)
This type of file contains MIDI performance data. The R20 can load SMFs and add them as 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.
