Introducing the MRS-1044

Introduction

Introducing the MRS-1044

The MRS-1044 is internally divided into the following four

sections.

●Recorder section

This records and plays back audio.

●Rhythm section

This uses the internal drum/bass sound generator to play rhythms.

●Mixer section

This mixes the signals from the recorder section and rhythm section, and outputs them from the stereo output jacks.

●Effect section

This processes input signals or signals of the mixer section. The MRS-1044 lets you use two effects: an insert effect and a send/return effect.

The following diagram shows the relationship and signal flow between each section.

Now let's take a closer look at each section.

Recorder section

The recorder section of the MRS-1044 has ten tracks: six mono tracks (tracks 1 – 6) and two stereo tracks (tracks 7/8 and 9/10). Up to ten tracks can be played back simultaneously, and two tracks can be recorded simultaneously.

Each track 1 – 10 has ten virtual tracks (referred to as "V- takes"), and for each track, you can select one take for recording/playback (Using V-takes → p.35). For example, you can record guitar solos onto multiple V-takes, and then compare them later to select the best take.
