As far as protools goes, I don't use it but if you had 2 ADAT lightpipe
I/O's in you rig you could run 16 channels of ADAT lightpipe in ADAT mode
unfortunately you would'nt have access to the master buss and you'd
be limited to max 24/48k

Unless digidesign supported the R-16's drivers ( which I doubt will happen ) This probably would not an ideal interface for protools

Thanks.
