About the mixer

The mixer of the MRS-1044 is divided into two sections: an "input mixer" that processes the input signals from the [INPUT 1/2] jacks, and a "track mixer" that processes the signals from the tracks of the recorder section and from the rhythm section. Details of each mixer are described below.

■Input mixer

In the input mixer you can adjust the sensitivity of the signals that are input from the [INPUT 1/2] jacks, set various parameters such as pan and send levels to the send/return effects, and assign the signals to the recorder tracks.

		Recorder
	Input mixer	Track 1
INPUT		Track 2
		Track 3
		Track 4
		Track 5
		Track 6
		Track 7/8
		Track 9/10

■Track mixer

In the track mixer you can process the playback signals of the recorder tracks (1 – 6, 7/8, 9/10) and the sound of the drum kit / bass program of the rhythm section, and mix these signals to stereo. The signal mixed by the track mixer is output via the MASTER fader from the [OUTPUT] jacks.

[Mixer]

The parameters that can be adjusted in the input mixer are listed in the following table.

Input mixer parameters

ParameterContent

CHO SEND Volume sent to chorus/delay (send/return effect)

REV SEND Volume sent to reverb (send/return effect)

PAN Left/right position (L/R channel balance)

REC LVL Volume of the input signal (position of the [REC LEVEL] control)

In the track mixer, the signals that are output from each track are handled in units called "channels." The parameters that can be adjusted for each channel (DRUM, BASS, 1 – 6, 7/8, 9/10) are listed in the table below.

HINT

The DRUM, 7/8, and 9/10 channels are each stereo channels that respectively process the output signals from the drum kit, stereo tracks 7/8, and 9/10. The parameters of these stereo channels are linked.

Track mixer parameters

Parameter	Content		Channel
		DRUM/BASS	1–6	7/8, 9/10	MASTER
EQ HI G	Amount of boost/cut for high-range EQ
EQ HI F	Frequency at which high-range EQ will boost/cut
EQ LO G	Amount of boost/cut for low-range EQ
EQ LO F	Frequency at which low-range EQ will boost/cut
CHO SEND	Volume sent to chorus/delay (send/return effect)
REV SEND	Volume sent to reverb (send/return effect)
PAN	Left/right position (L/R channel balance)
FADER	Volume of each channel (fader position)
ST LINK	Link the parameters of the odd/even-numbered channels
