MODES OF OPERATION

DIGITAL MIXDOWN USING FADERS AS MIDI CONTROLLERS

Many people will want to stay in the digital domain once their tracks are recorded. The ZED-R16 appreciates this
and allows the channel faders to be used as MIDI controllers where they can be assigned to control the level or
other parameter within the Digital Audio Workstation or software application. The analogue part of the fader is by-
passed at unity gain, so it is still possible to route signals to the mix bus if required. Also, the other parts of the chan-
nel are available for things like sending audio to the DAW for additional tracks or overdubbing whilst monitoring this
signal using the Auxes, which would be at zero latency with respect to the input to the pre-amp.

ADC

DIGITAL SIGNAL
(FIREWIRE OR ADAT)
MIDI data is carried by the FireWire bus. If the
audio connection is ADAT then use the MIDI
out from the ZED-R16 for control.

PRESS FADER = MIDI

DIGITAL SEND FROM AFTER PRE-AMP
Could be used for overdubbing the recorded track.

DIGITAL INPUT NOT SWITCHED
IN So the signal from the pre-
amp can be used for foldback
purposes with zero latency.

DAC

Assign the MIDI controllers
in the DAW.

Listening to a stereo mix from the DAW can be done
by selecting ZED R 16 MAIN L R as the output for the
master track in your DAW and returning this to the
ZED-R16 in the master section.

Automating MIDI controlled parameter moves in your
application can be done using either pick-up mode or
jump-to mode for the MIDI control.
