The Pocket Multitrack, Modernized
The R4 MultiTrak continues the spirit of portable multitrack recorders by propelling it into the 32-bit floating point era. Its compact architecture includes a dedicated reduction track and per-track faders, bringing studio gestures into a portable format. The result: a fast, reliable, and creative tool to capture an idea or produce a polished demo.
For Songwriters, Creators, and Mobile Podcasters
Whether you're writing on guitar, layering synths, or preparing an episode, the R4 adapts. Record up to two sources simultaneously, play back four tracks, mix and bounce to the dedicated track to keep enriching your arrangements. The built-in mic serves as a sonic notepad or quickly captures voice and acoustic instruments.
Uncompromising Workflow: 32-bit Floating Point and Bounce Track
Always Usable Takes
32-bit floating point captures the full dynamic range without gain adjustment. No more clipping: focus on performance, not levels.
Stack, Undo, Retry
Mix your four tracks and send them to the dedicated reduction track. Need to tweak? Use the last bounce undo to reopen the mix or record new parts.
Studio-Ready Connectivity
Two combo inputs accommodate microphones, guitars, keyboards, and line signals, with +48 V phantom power as needed. Each track features a 3-band EQ, pan, echo, and reverb, while input A offers amp simulations, delays, and distortions to shape your sounds without external gear.
Built-in Tools to Complete Your Idea
The rhythm section (40 patterns including Rock, Hip-Hop, Funk, Heavy Metal, etc.) serves as a guide or production base. Via USB-C, the R4 becomes a 2x2 interface to record directly into your DAW. The 2-inch color screen and dedicated faders speed up every action.

This small tool is incredibly effective! Small, beautiful and super powerful.
It is given for 4 tracks, but in truth, when you bounce the 4 tracks, it does not overwrite them and you can bounce after bounce, so the number of tracks is almost unlimited! It's magic!Automatically translated
