Frequently Asked Questions

The recorder uses standard SD cards, making file management straightforward. While it supports up to 128GB cards, the practical limit depends on recording bit depth and track count – longer sessions at higher quality will fill cards faster.
It's a simple, one-knob compressor – offering a quick and easy way to add punch and glue to channels 1-8, but lacks detailed control for nuanced compression shaping.
The effects processor provides a selection of basic reverb, delay, and chorus effects, suitable for adding ambience but not intended for complex sound design or premium-quality effects.
