Additional master track

Separately from the normal record/play tracks (1 –10),

there is a stereo master track. The signal recorded on this

pair of tracks is the same as supplied at the [OUTPUT]

jacks.

For example, you could use tracks 1 –10 and the rhythm

section (drum kit + bass program) as sources for bouncing

onto the master track, which serves as a dedicated

mixdown track.

The master track again comprises 10 V-takes, letting you

create multiple versions of a final mix. Later, you can

compare the versions and pick the best one.

●

Creating an audio CD

Using the CD-R/RW drive, you can write the master track

of one or several projects to a CD-R/CD-RW disc to create

an audio CD. Audio data for up to 99 songs can be stored

on a single CD-R/CD-RW disc, provided there is enough

space on the disc.

An audio CD created in this way can be played on a regular

CD player after the finalizing operation has been

performed.

Because the MRS-1044CD model incorporates a

CD-R/RW drive, an audio CD can be created

without any external equipment.

To create an audio CD with the MRS-1044

model, the separately available SCSI Interface

Board SIB-01 and an external CD-R/RW drive

are required.

●

Project backup/restore

You can copy selected projects or all projects from the hard

disk of the MRS-1044 to media such as a CD-R/CD-RW

disc, ZIP disk, MO disk, or to another hard disk for

backup. Stored data can be read back (restored) to the

MRS-1044 series at any time.

When using CD-R/CD-RW discs or other removable media

such as MO or ZIP, large projects can be split to span

multiple volumes for backup and restore.

With the MRS-1044CD model, connection of an

external ZIP drive, MO drive, or hard disk

requires the separately available SCSI Interface

Board SIB-01, but backup/restore using CD-

R/CD-RW discs can be performed with the

integrated drive.

With the MRS-1044 model, connection of an

external ZIP drive, MO drive, hard disk, or CD-

R/RW drive requires the separately available

SCSI Interface Board SIB-01.

●

V-take trimming

A new option is added to the track edit menu, allowing fine

adjustment of V-take start position and end position. For

example, when creating an audio CD, silent passages at the

start or end of the V-take can be cut.

Available functions

•"Confirmed" refers to the fact that normal operation was

confirmed with a production unit purchased by ZOOM

Corporation. It is not guaranteed that all functions will

operate with these specific models.

•ZOOM Corporation does not accept any responsibility

whatsoever for any kind of damage arising from the use

of the above SCSI devices, whether they be direct or

indirect from any third parties.

When the SIB-01 is installed in the MRS-

1044CD and an external CD-R/RW drive is

connected, it is not possible to use this drive

simultaneously with the integrated CD-R/RW

drive.

Connection of SCSI Devices

To connect the MRS-1044 series (with SIB-01 installed) to

a SCSI device, proceed as follows.

1. Make sure that power to the MRS-1044 series and

the external SCSI device is turned off. Then

connect the SCSI connector on the SIB-01 to the

SCSI connector of the SCSI device, using a SCSI

cable.

The SCSI cable should be a high-impedance type and

should be as short as possible. The use of an inferior cable

can lead to malfunction and damage.

2. Mount the terminator on the external SCSI device.

The "terminator" is a special resistor that must be present

on the last device in a SCSI chain. Some devices have a

terminator built in. In such a case, set the switch for the

terminator to ON.

3. Set the SCSI ID of the external device to any

number from 0 – 6.

The "SCSI ID" is a number from 0 to 7 that serves to

identify a device in a SCSI chain. Because the SCSI ID of

the MRS-1044 series (SIB-01) is fixed to "7", the setting

range for an external SCSI device connected to the

MRS-1044 is 0 –6.

4. Turn power on in the following sequence external

Connection of External SCSI Devices

External SCSI devices can be connected to the MRS-1044 series version 2.0 when the separately available SCSI Interface

Board SIB-01 is installed.

5. When turning power off, proceed in the sequence

MRS-1044 series ➔external SCSI device.

•While a SCSI device is connected, make sure that its

power is turned on when using the MRS-1044 series.

Otherwise, operation of the MRS-1044 series may

become instable.

The maximum number of SCSI devices that

can be connected to the MRS-1044 is two

(one CD-R/RW drive and one other SCSI

device). Take care that there are no SCSI ID

conflicts. For optimum operation stability, it

is highly recommended to connect and use

only one SCSI device at a time.

The maximum number of SCSI devices that

can be connected to the MRS-1044CD

besides the integrated CD-R/RW drive is

one.

What is the master track?

The master track is a stereo track that is separate from the

normal tracks 1 –10. It is designed to be used as a

mixdown track for the final stereo mix, and it can also be

used for creating an audio CD.

When the master track is set to the recording mode, it will

record the signal after the MASTER fader (the same signal

as supplied at the [OUTPUT] jacks). For example, you

could mix tracks 1 –10 and the rhythm section (drum kits

+ bass program) and bounce the result onto the master

track.

When the master track is played, the signal is inserted just

before the MASTER fader. (At this time, the DRUM,

BASS, 1 –6, 7/8, and 9/10 channels are muted.) The

MASTER fader can be used to adjust the volume, and the

signal can be monitored at the [OUTPUT] jacks.

In the MRS-1044 series, one master track can be used per

project. Like ordinary tracks, the master track also

comprises 10 V-takes. This lets you create multiple

versions with a different mixing balance, and select the

best V-take later. A master track recorded in this way can

be used as source material for creating an audio CD. (The

selected V-take of a master track in a project can be written

to CD-R/CD-RW.)

Basic master track operation

To switch between recording and playback of the master

track, the MASTER status key in the fader section is used.

Each push of this key cycles through the following modes.

In some conditions, the MASTER status key functions as a

master track selector key. For example, at the V-take

selection screen (ERASE) or a menu included in the track

TRIM is a function that was added in version 1.2. It serves

for trimming unwanted portions at the beginning and end of

a track. For details, see page 12.

Mixdown using master track

This section explains how to mix tracks 1 –10 of the

recorder section and the rhythm section (drum kit + bass

program) onto the stereo master track (bounce).

First, you must select the V-take of the master track that

yor plan to record onto.

1. In the main screen, press the [PROJECT/UTILITY]

key.

The display will indicate "PROJECT".

2. Use the cursor [

]/[

] keys to make the display

indicate "UTILITY BOUNCE", and then press the

[ENTER] key.

3. Use the cursor [

]/[

] keys to make the display

indicate "BOUNCE REC TAKE", and then press the

[ENTER] key.

4. Verify that "CURRENT" is shown on the second line

of the display.

This screen selects the V-take to be bounced to. When

"CURRENT" is shown, the currently selected V-take will

be used for recording. If another setting is shown, the

bounced material may be recorded on an unexpected track.

Turn the dial to switch to the "CURRENT" indication.

5. To return to the main screen, press the [EXIT] key

several times.

The UTILITY BOUNCE menu also comprises a REC TR

screen for selecting whether recorded tracks are played

when executing a bounce, but this setting has no effect

when playing a bounce on the master track.

6. Press the display section [V-TAKE] key.

The [V-TAKE] key will light, and a screen will appear in

which you can switch the V-take for each track.

7. Press the MASTER status key.

The master track is selected as the target track. The display

shows the number and the name of the V-take currently

selected for the master track. (For unrecorded V-takes, the

name field reads "NO DATA".)

You can also select the master track by moving the cursor

to the track number and turning the dial fully to the right.

8. To switch to a different V-take, use the cursor

[

]/[

] keys to cause the V-take number to blink,

and turn the dial to select 1 –10.

9. When V-take selection is completed, press the

[EXIT] key.
