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.
