Armin, the "Jedi Zoom Master" of the Zoom Gear & Home Recording Forum (at
http://www.2090.org ), has had a R16 in his possession for beta-testing but couldn't discuss specific features until the official release today. Some things he had to say:
Input routing:
Input 1 linked to track 1 or track 9, Input 2 linked to track 2 or track 10 (and so on).
Only channel 1/9 has Hi-Z input (for Guitar/Bass). For recording multiple guitar tracks there are two options:
A) Record guitar 1 to track 1, assign this track to track 2 (for example). Record guitar 2 to track 1, assign this track to track 3 (for example). Record guitar 3 to track 1.
B) Record guitar 1 to track 1, then use the swap feature to swap track 1 with any other track. Record guitar 2 to track 1.
Virtual Tracks:
There are not the usual 10 V-Tracks per channel. The R16 can assign ANY recorded or imported wav file to ANY track. So you can record as many tracks as you like and select 16 out of them and assign them to the channels. There is no 10 V-Track limit anymore.

The price on it's very good too. They're gonna sell a bunch of these.
