Introduction

F6 Control is a remote control application designed for use with Multitrack Field Recorders (hereafter, “the recorder” in this manual). Including control of recording, playback and mixer adjustments, this app allows you to operate the recorder from an iOS device. This manual does not explain operation of the recorder unit itself. See the Operation Manual for detailed information about all its functions.
