1. Main features

Eight-channel stereo digital mixer
The ZERO8 is a 24-bit stereo digital mixer that supports sampling frequen-
cies of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96kHz, and even 192 kHz for ultra-high quality
audio.
FireWire audio/MIDI interface
The ZERO8 is also an audio/MIDI interface via featuring two FireWire
connections. By connecting your computer and ZERO8 via a FireWire
cable, and you'll be able to transfer audio and MIDI data to and from the
ZERO8. Up to 16 channels (in and out) of audio data transfer are sup-
ported.
Flexible channel selection
In addition to mic/guitar/line/phono analog audio inputs, the ZERO8
also provides digital audio inputs from the FireWire interface. In addition,
each mixer channel can also serve as a MIDI controller, giving you flexible
control of your audio sources.
EQ type selector
You can specify the type of EQ for each channel. The EQ types include typi-
cal EQ curves tuned to a particular musical genre, as well as types avail-
able only with digital processing, such as filters and isolators.
Fader/crossfader curve controller
Parameters are provided so that you can create your own fader curves and
crossfader curve. Since you can specify the fader curve separately for each
channel, you can obtain the exact sharpness and play you want for the fad-
ers. The crossfader lets you smoothly transition between audio sources.
Auto BPM detection
An auto BPM detector is built-in, allowing you to detect the BPM of audio
material on a specific channel. You can use tap tempo alone or in conjunc-
tion with auto BPM to enhance the tempo detection. (Manual BPM can also
be used.) BPM Delays and other effects can be synchronized to the speci-
fied BPM.
Push-knob MIDI controller
In addition to the knobs of the mixer channels, there are eight push-knobs
that you can use as MIDI controllers. You can assign switch operations and
encoder operations to each of the eight push-knobs, and create four banks
of these assignments, letting you control a total of 64 parameters
("switch+encoder" x eight x four banks).
Touch-panel LCD
The ZERO8 features a TouchView LCD that functions as a display and also
offers intuitive, on-screen parameter editing. In addition, the LCD panel
borrows from KORG KAOSS technology, so you can also control multiple
effect or MIDI parameters in real time.
Mic preamps
The mic preamps built into the MIC jacks use high audio quality circuitry
designed with the cooperation of Peter Watts Designs Corporation.
