Effects can also be used when the sampling rate is 44.1 kHz, and the unit can be powered by the computer USB bus. A=—=

& Control surface functions The on-board control surface functions can be used to control DAW software on your computer via USB. Transport operations, including playback, recording and stopping, and physical control of the DAW faders are possible. Furthermore, various other DAW software functions can be mapped to the F1-F5 keys. (The available functions depend on the DAW software used.)

e level instruments. The 8 onboard jacks, which accept XLR and standard phone plugs, include one high-impedance input and two with 48V phantom power. From high-impedance guitars and basses to dynamic and condenser microphones and line-level devices like synthesizers, many sources are supported. In addition, the built-in high- performance condenser microphones are convenient for recording acoustic guitar and vocals. H Versatile effect functions The insert effect can be applied to specific channel paths and the send/return effect works via the mixer send/return. The two kinds of built-in effects can be applied when recording, of course, but they can also be applied to affect only the monitoring output. For example, when recording vocals, you can apply reverb to the monitor signal to make singing easier, but record a dry signal.

EH Comprehensive buil mixer Using the R16's mixer, you can make a mix for monitoring live and playback. When simultaneously recording guitar and vocals, for example, you can independentiy adjust volume balance, panning and reverb levels. & Multifunction tuner In addition to standard chromatic tuning, the multifunction tuner also has on-board support for 7-string guitar, 5-string bass and various drop tunings. 1enueuw 99ej4equ oIpny E

Set the recording level While playing an instrument, adjust the R16 input level and set the Cubase LE 4 recording level. The recording level for Cubase 4 LE can be checked by the level meter of the corresponding channel of the recording enabled track. Please set it as high as possible without making the meter peak When adjusting the level, do not move the Cubase LE 4 fader, but instead adjust the recording level and gain on the R16. [NOTE + Ifthe Monitor button is on, the R16 input signal and the signal returning to the R16 via the computer will both be output from the R16 at the same time which can create a flanger-like sound. If you want to monitor accurately while adjusting the recording level, turn the [DIRECT/DAW BALANCE] knob toward DIRECT. + For the above meter, the signal level is displayed after it has been internally processed by Cubase LE 4. Because of this, you might experience a slight delay between the time a string is plucked until the level meter moves; this is not a defect.

Tips to improve performance When using Cubase LE 4, the application's actions could become extremely delayed or error messages such as “cannot synchronize with USB audio interface” might be displayed. Should such occurrences become frequent, taking the following measures might improve the situation. © Terminate other running programs. In particular, confirm that there are not a large number of background applications running. @ Reduce the use of plug-ins in Cubase LE 4 (effects, sound generator plug-ins) If there are a large number of plug- ins running, the computer might be struggling to keep up. In addition, reducing the number of simultaneous playback tracks might be effective. © Use the R16 AC adapter When devices draw power from the USB bus, on rare occasions computer performance can suffer. Try using the AC adapter. Please increase the Audio Buffer Size in the Device Setup>VST Audio System menu if the sound breaks up. Please refer to Installation Guide Step 5 for details. Moreover, if the application performance is extremely slow and regular computer operation is affected, we recommend disconnecting the computer from the R16 USB port and quitting Cubase LE 4 once before reconnecting the USB port and reopening Cubase LE 4 again.

See if using an AC adapter improves operation Please set latency from the device menu when the sound cutting occurs. Refer: Install Guide-step5 about details. If applications still run very slowly or the computer itself does not function properly, disconnect the R16 from the computer and shut down Cubase LE 4. Then reconnect the USB cable and start Cubase LE 4 again.
