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.
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.
