Reference [Creating a CD]

Loading data from an audio CD

The MRS-802 can read audio data from an ordinary audio CD inserted in the CD-R/RW drive and record these data on any track of the internal recorder. The data can then be handled and edited in the same way as other tracks. This is convenient for example to use drum or guitar phrases from a sampling CD.

Data can be read only as entire audio CD tracks. Specifying a range is not possible. If you want to use only a part of a track, perform trimming of unwanted portions after loading (→ p. 49).

1. Insert the disc from which to load audio data into the CD-R/RW drive.

2. Perform steps 2 - 5 of “Playing an audio CD” and select the desired track of the CD.

3. Press the REC [O] key.

4. Turn the dial to select the track for recording the data.

Only odd-numbered/even-numbered pairs of mono tracks (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) or the master track (MASTER) can be selected.

5. Press the [ENTER] key.

The recording destination is selected, and the indication “READ CD SURE?” appears on the display. (When the track already contains data, the indication “OverWrt?” is shown.)

6. To carry out the read process, press the [ENTER]

key once more.

Loading data from the audio CD starts. When loading is

complete, the unit returns to the condition of step 4.

7. To return to the main screen, press the [EXIT] key

several times.

Backup and restore

This section explains how you can use the CD-R/RW drive in the MRS-802 to back up a project to a CD-R/RW disc and how to restore a project from a disc backup.

NOTE

On a MRS-802 without preinstalled CD-R/RW drive, creating

a backup CD as described here is not possible.

Saving a single project to CD-R/RW disc

You can select any project and save it on a CD-R/RW disc

for backup.

HINT

If the size of the project is larger than the capacity of the CD-

R/RW disc, you can create a backup spanning multiple

volumes.

1. Insert a CD-R or CD-RW into the CD-R/RW drive.

To back up a project, use a blank CD-R/RW disc or a CD-

RW disc that has been completely erased.

2. From the main screen, press the [CD-R/RW] key in the display section.

The CD-R/RW menu appears.

3. Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up the indication “CD-R/RW BACKUP” on the display, and press the [ENTER] key.

The display shows the backup/restore menu.

BACKUPSAVE

4. Verify that “BACKUP SAVE” is shown on the display, and press the [ENTER] key.

The display changes to a screen for selecting the project to

be backed up.
