Introduction

recording/playback. For example, you can record guitar

solos onto multiple V-takes, and then compare them later to

select the best take.

HINT

By changing the internal settings of the MRS-1266, you can directly record the signal from INPUT jacks 1 - 6 on tracks 1 - 6. (This is called "6TR REC mode".)

			Tracks				Master track

The recorder section also provides a set of stereo tracks which are separate from the normal record/play tracks 1 - 10. These are called the master tracks. The master tracks are dedicated for mixdown and for storing the material used to create an audio CD.

Rhythm section

The rhythm section of the MRS-1266 offers 511 accompaniment patterns (called "rhythm patterns") that use the internal drum/bass sound generator. Over 400 patterns are preprogrammed at the factory. Rhythm patterns can be played independently or in synchronization with the recorder.

HINT

You can also create original patterns by using either the pads

on the top panel or through the use of MIDI.

Drum sound

You can arrange rhythm patterns in the desired order of playback, and program chords and tempo to create the rhythm accompaniment for an entire song. (This is called a "rhythm song.") Up to 10 rhythm songs can be created, among which one is selected for playback.

HINT

If desired, rhythm patterns and rhythm songs can be pro-

cessed with the insert effect, and bounced on the audio

tracks.

Mixer section

The signals from tracks 1 - 8, 9/10, and the drum and bass sounds are sent to separate mixer channels for individual adjustment of volume and tone and to create a stereo mix. For each track, the following parameters can be controlled independently.

HINT

If required, the STEREO SUB OUT jacks on the front panel can be set to carry a specific track or drum/bass sound. This is convenient for monitoring the track or drum/bass sound, or for adjusting it with an external effect device.
