Studio-Quality 12-track Recording Direct to SD Card

The Model 12 is a compact multitrack recording studio, with the ability to record 12 tracks simultaneously at 24-bit/48kHz audio quality directly to SD card. With a built-in metronome, punch-in/out capability, and overdubbing functions, the Model 12 gives you the tools you need to produce a full band. You can also transfer your recordings directly to your computer via USB for further editing, processing, and mixing.

Model 12: The Ultimate DAW Controller

Model 12's comprehensive DAW control means you can ditch your mouse and mix your music like you would with a traditional mixing board. Navigating your session is easy with familiar transport controls, no need to remember key commands or grab your mouse when you need to move to a new song section. Hands-on control over your mix allows you to focus more on your music and less on menus, scrolling and clicking. If you want to make music in your DAW with the familiar feel of a mixing board, you'll be impressed with Model 12 as your DAW control surface.

12-in/10-out USB Audio Interface with DAW Control Integration

Equipped with an onboard USB Type-C connector, the Model 12 is ready to connect to your DAW software for multitrack recording and playback. For comprehensive control over your DAW, Model 12 uses HUI/MCU protocol emulation to give you hands-on control over faders, mutes, pans, solos, record arm, play, record, stop, FF/Rew, and jog functions.

DAW control operation has been confirmed with the following DAW software:

• Avid Pro Tools
• Apple Logic Pro
• MOTU Digital Performer
• Steinberg Cubase
• Ableton Live
• Cakewalk by BandLab
• Presonus Studio One (Added in V1.30)
• Cockos REAPER (Added in V1.30)
• Steinberg Cubasis 3.3 (Added in V1.30)

Dedicated Click Output with Tap Tempo for Tight Performance

Whether you're recording or performing live, Model 12's dedicated click output helps you to stay in time. The Tap Tempo feature makes it easy to set your ideal tempo, and also allows you to sync Model 12's built-in delay effects to the tempo of your music. And for hands-free control over Tap Tempo, simply connect a non-latching footswitch (sold separately) to Model 12's footswitch input.

Loop Song Sections on the Fly with the VAMP Playback Function (Added in V1.11)

Model 12 makes it easy to create a seamless playback loop between two points in a song, with its VAMP Playback function. Loop your full arrangement for an extended solo or group jam, or loop the playback of only a selected track for creative emphasis. From practice and band rehearsal to live performance, VAMP Playback gives you a ton of freedom to extend your song's arrangement.
