Klinke's .dll is written for the Mackie Universal controller, which has SHIFT, OPTION, CONTROL & ALT buttons. Not the Zoom. These buttons do various things with Reaper. The Zoom R16 doesn't, as far as I know, have these buttons whilst still having MCU protocol built in, apparently. However, the .dll does allow for keyboard modifiers to be substituted for the ALT & OPTION buttons.

From manual:-

2.1 Control Surface Settings Options[read Zoom for Behringer BCF]

• Use keyboard modifier: The Behringer BCF does not have OPTION/CONTROL and ALT modifier buttons. When this option is selected, the keyboard modifier can be used instead. The left ALT key substitutes the ALT button, the right ALT key the OPTION button.


7.1.1 Folder-Mode
By default the folder structure of REAPER is not reflected on the MCU. However, it is possible to change this via the Folder-Mode Property in the Pan-Mode Options. When the Folder mode is activated, the tree-like structure of the tracks in REAPER is reflected on the MCU and you only see the children of a track and, if desired, the parent of these children. The idea behind this is that the folder structure corresponds to sub-mixes, and you can easily select and work on a single sub-mix or go back a step and mix only on the level of the sub-mixes. This can improve track navigation a lot.

When you switch to Folder-Mode, only tracks are shown that have the Master track as their root. For all tracks that have children, the LED below the VPOT is illuminated. You can select these tracks as a new root track by pressing the corresponding SELECT button for longer than one second. To move back to the root track, press the GLOBAL VIEW button.


Refer to Table 1 at the bottom of page 13. Basically, you hit OPTION button on the Mackie and the various Folder Mode options come up in the LCD and you pick one with a V-Pot. You haven't got the OPTION button on the Zoom so you'll have to use the keyboard modifier.

I have never laid eyes on a Zoom so this is just the theory.
