Zoom R20

Zoom R20. A complete 16-track production station, the R20 boasts eight mic preamps, of which one can act as a high-Z instrument input and a further four can deliver phantom power to capacitor microphones. Recordings are stored on SDHC or SDXC cards (up to 1TB in capacity), and almost all of its functions are accessed through a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen. All eight of its physical inputs can be recorded simultaneously, making it possible to track a full band either in one go, or with multiple drum mics on the first pass and overdubs thereafter. Arrangement and editing is taken care of via an intuitive DAW-like touch interface, where all the usual swiping and pinching gestures apply.

In addition to its extensive audio credentials, the R20 also houses an internal sound module, containing no fewer than 18 different instrument sounds, plus a drum kit. Connect a MIDI keyboard/controller to the R20's USB-C port, and you can play all of those sounds directly, recording the performances alongside your audio. The R20 can also import and play back standard MIDI files from the SD card slot.
