Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built to take a song from tracking through editing and mixing without leaving the recorder. Eight sources can be captured at once, with 16 tracks available for playback, while the touchscreen, color-coded faders, gain controls, and track areas keep channel work clear. It records WAV files to compatible SDHC or SDXC cards, offers headphone monitoring and dedicated master outputs, and includes rhythm patterns, a click track, effects, and an internal FM synthesizer for building parts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording several performers at once, with up to eight simultaneous recording tracks.
- Building arrangements with USB MIDI keyboards, internal synth sounds, and imported standard MIDI files.
- Tracking and monitoring through headphones while sending a mix to dedicated master outputs.
