How to activate reverb on Zoom R16

Post by michielper »

I recently got a Zoom R16 and I have not been able to find out how to activate reverb on one or more tracks during recording or during mixdown.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

there are utube tutorials on the R16.
eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhAyniG_nlI&t=331s

I only have the R8 but I think the 16 and 24 are similar; do fact check what I say though :)

[1] the fx only work when using 44.1kHz

[2] there are two reverbs; one is a global send/return FX for all tracks, the send amount is adjusted per track in the tracks parameter screen.

The other is an insert FX. You have to add this to one track at a time, either when recording or when reamping.

Hi, thanks for your help! :thumbup:
Strange why they made the effects features of this machine so complex :( while other functions are generally quite straightforward.

Zooms "R" units are studios_in_a_box, rather than just multi trackers, with many functions, only 1 of which can be front panel easy access [=recording/tracking, still outperforms many of the newer multitrackers, some of which dont even have track swap :? ].

If you have mastered the Sampler/sequencer/drum machine, you are +1 level on the road to enlightenment. [loads of utubes on that of course..] :)
