Note: A ZOOM BTA-1 is also necessary to operate an F6 with F6 Control. In addition to the fundamental operations of starting/stopping recording/playback and searching forward/backward, this app allows the adjustment of trim levels and mixer pan and fader settings. You can also use it to monitor input levels, timecode information and remaining battery charge. Moreover, using this app, you can input characters from the iOS device to edit file names and add metadata as well as transfer date and time information for use when recording. Features ■ Control an F6 that is inside a protective case -During field recording, you can check and control levels using the device in your hand without needing to look into the protective case on the F6. ■ Create monitor mixes easily -Using the mixer screen that supports multi-touch, you can easily create monitor mixes as though using a traditional mixer. ■ Input metadata -Using the iOS device keyboard, you can input all types of metadata.
