<Note>: The diagram shows the basic flow of the recording signal and some functions are omitted.

The recorder section of the LR16 provides 16 multitracks and stereo L and R tracks. It allows direct re- cording of up to 16 channel analog signals and stereo mix recording si- multaneously. Each analog input sig- nal is converted to digital after be- ing level-adjusted using the [TRIM] control and directly sent to the cor- responding track, while it can be sent to the stereo tracks through the mixer channel where you can tailor the signal using the mixer functions including the equalizer, internal ef- fects processor, etc.

Therefore, you can simultaneously perform multitrack recording and rough mix recording during live performance.

The recorder also provides basic multitrack recorder functions such as overdubbing and punch-in/out.

<Memo>: The hard disk of the re- corder is FAT32 formatted and a file recorded by the LR16 is compatible with a personal computer. You can export a file to a computer or copy a file from a computer.
