When integrated with the V-Mixing System, the R-1000 is a powerful tool that will help musicians improve their performance, enable sound techs to deliver a better mix and provide a better interaction between musician, band leader and sound tech.
Fully Integrated System
The R-1000 integrates seamlessly with your customer’s existing V-Mixing System. It installs easily between the Digital Snake and V-Mixer with Cat5e cables allowing the R-1000 to see all 160 channels of audio flowing from Snake to V-Mixer and audio patched to the REAC A and B output patchbays on the V-Mixer.
The R-1000 is seamlessly controlled right from the V-Mixer’s interface for easy patching and arming of tracks for recording along with song selection, marker editing and transport controls.
* Firmware updates for all V-Mixer consoles will be available from RolandSystemsGroup.com shortly.
Instant Virtual Rehearsal
Because the R-1000 is seamlessly integrated with the V-Mixing System, recorded multi-track audio can be played back instantly without any re-patching of digital snake inputs from stage or changing to a special mode.
Now musicians can “hop off stage” and instantly hear their rehearsal performance to check for tuning, tempo and an overall understanding of how their playing fits in the mix. Musicians also benefit by not having to replay their instrument so the sound tech can “dial them in”. One pass by a singer can be looped over and over saving their voice while the sound tech works on mixing their vocal.
For sound techs, they can work on the mix later, on their own schedule without needing the band present. The R-1000 also becomes an excellent training tool for new operators or experienced operators wanting to experiment with a new mixing technique.
Virtual Preamp Control
When engaged, the Virtual Preamp mode allows the sound tech to work on the audio tweaking of a channel including the gain stage on the pre-amp. As the sound tech is working on a virtual rehearsal with tracks playing from the R-1000, an adjustment made to the preamp on the V-Mixer channel will cause the R-1000 to attenuate the signal to simulate changing the preamp on the input. This will also change the physical Digital Snake preamp in the background so it is at the correct level for the next performance.
* Virtual Preamp control is not available for console inputs
Easiest to Use Recorder on the Market
PC recording is popular for live sound applications but it is still burdened by common computer support issues. The R-1000 is a dedicated hardware appliance built for recording. Roland is the industry leader in hardware recording with hundreds of thousands of hardware multi-track recorders in use around the world. Simple operation from the built-in touch screen interface, Mac or PC RCS (Remote Control Software) and deep control integration from the V-Mixer make the R-1000 simple and accessible to any level of user.
R-1000: 48-Track Recorder/Player
Dedicated 48-Track Audio Recorder and Player
Ideally Suited for Many Configurations and Applications
The R-1000 is an intuitive stand alone, dedicated recorder/player designed to work with the V-Mixing System in any live event or production. You can also connect and use the R-1000 with any digital console that has MADI output capabilities by using the Roland S-MADI REAC MADI Bridge.
The R-1000 is based on REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) and eliminates the bulk and noise susceptibility typically associated with analog snakes and replaces it with Cat5e/6 (Ethernet/LAN) cable.
