Not sure. Nothing official on the Zoom NA website yet. Seems kinda odd. They have a whole line of "live mixer/recorders" and the usual line-up of "R series" multitracks. This does not seem to add a whole lot (other than the touch screen). I would have liked to have seen aux sends (for external effects), midi capability (via standard 5 pin), multiple outputs and a footswitch jack (for punching in) and a dedicated "fader per track" interface. Just me spitballing, I reckon. Cheers.
