Tracks

 

The recorder section also provides a set of stereo tracks which are separate from the normal record/play tracks 1 - 8. These are called the master track. The master track is dedicated to mixdown and also serves for holding the material used to create an audio CD.

Rhythm section

The rhythm section of the MRS-802 offers 511 accompaniment patterns (called "rhythm patterns") that use the internal drum sound generator. Over 400 patterns are preprogrammed at the factory. Rhythm patterns can be played independently or in synchronization with the recorder.

You can also edit a rhythm pattern or create an original pattern.

If desired, rhythm patterns and rhythm songs can be processed with the insert effect, and recorded on the audio tracks.

Mixer section

The signals from tracks 1 - 8, and the drum 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.

The MRS-802 provides two types of effects: insert effects and send/return effects. These effects which can be used simultaneously have the characteristics described below.

Insert effect

This effect can be inserted at one of the following three points in the signal path.

(1)Immediately after the input jack(2)A desired channel of the mixer(3)Immediately before the [MASTER] fader

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

In the default condition, position (1) (immediately after input jack) is selected.

When the setting is changed to (2), only a selected track or the drum sound is processed by the effect.
