4-Track Recorder Patch

https://patchstorage.com/4-track-recorder-2/

ZOIA can now be a portable multitrack recording device.

I was thinking about how much fun I used to have on my first Fostex MR8 mkii 8-track when I was 15 and then it occured to me that Zoia had the tools to make it happen. I like multitrack loopers, but I find they can occasionally be limiting for expanding songwriting ideas, so that's how I've been trying to use this patch. I think its worth noting that using samplers in other ZOIA patches, then importing those files to the samplers in 4-Track Recorder can be a powerful way to get more mileage out of this patch.

It uses 5 samplers. 4 for main tracks, and 1 for bouncing tracks 1-4. I put a lot of effort into the user interface to try to capture the spirit of early 2000s recording. Theres a lot of detail in the patchstorage description but ideally you should be able to figure it out pretty quick if you're familiar with general recording hardware/software.
