Introduction

Introducing the MRS-1266

The MRS-1266 is internally divided into the following five

sections.

●Recorder section

Records and plays back audio.

●Rhythm section

Uses internal drum and bass sound sources to play rhythms.

●Mixer section

Mixes the signals from the recorder section and rhythm section, for output via the stereo output jacks and for mixdown on dedicated master tracks.

●Effect section

Processes input signals or signals of the mixer section. The MRS-1266 has two types of effects: an insert effect that is

inserted in a specific signal path, and a send/return effect that uses the send/return loop of the mixer section.

●CD-R/RW drive section

Lets you burn an audio CD using the contents of the master tracks, or read audio material from CDs and CD-ROMs.

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

Recorder section

The recorder section of the MRS-1266 has ten tracks: eight mono tracks (tracks 1 - 8) and one stereo track (tracks 9/10). (A "track" is a separate section for recording audio data.) Up to two tracks can be recorded simultaneously and up to ten tracks can be played back simultaneously.

Each of the tracks has ten switchable virtual tracks (called "V-takes"). In each track, one V-take can be selected for
