Zoom MRS-1044 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
Can't hear the rhythm pattern play back
Make sure that the DRUM/BASS status keys are lit
green.
Make sure that the DRUM/BASS faders are raised. If
the faders are already raised, lower them and then raise
them once again.
Make sure that you have not selected a blank rhythm
pattern (pattern name "EMPTY").
Can't hear the rhythm song play back
In the case of a new project, the rhythm song has not yet
been created, so you will hear no sound. Either create
the rhythm song, or load a project for which a rhythm
song has been created.
No sound when you tap the pads
If the pad sensitivity has been set to "SOFT," loud
sounds will not be produced even when you tap
strongly. Change the setting to "NORMAL," "LITE," or
"LOUD" (
p.72).
Can't record or edit a rhythm pattern /
rhythm song
When the [RHYTHM] key is dark or blinking, it is not
possible to record or edit a rhythm pattern or rhythm
song. Press the [RHYTHM] key to make the key light.
If the display indicates "FULL," this means that you
have used up the rhythm section memory. Please delete
unneeded rhythm patterns.
Sounds recorded in the rhythm pattern do
not play
Sounds that exceed the maximum polyphony (8 notes
for the drum track, and 1 note for the bass track) will
not be played. Either delete some of the other notes that
have already been recorded (
p.68), or stay within the
maximum polyphony when you record.
The MRS-1044's drum/bass sounds cannot
be played from an external MIDI device
Make sure that a MIDI cable is correctly connected
from the MIDI OUT connector of the external device to
the MRS-1044's [MIDI IN] connector.
Make sure that the MIDI channels for the drum track
and bass track are set appropriately (
p.90).
Make sure that the MIDI transmit channel(s) of the
external device matches the MIDI channel(s) of the
drum track and/or bass track.
Can't synchronize with an external MIDI
device
Make sure that a MIDI cable is correctly connected
from the [MIDI OUT] connector of the MRS-1044 to
the MIDI IN connector of the external device.
On the MRS-1044, make sure that transmission is
enabled for the Timing Clock, Song Position Pointer,
and Start/Stop/Continue messages (
p.90).
On the external MIDI device, make sure that it is set to
receive Timing Clock and synchronize to it.
Make sure that the external MIDI device is in playback
mode.
Can't save the project
The project cannot be saved if the Protect setting is on.
Turn protect off (
p.85).
Can't use the tuner
The tuner cannot be used if the insert effect is inserted
in a location other than the input mixer. Change the
insert location to the input mixer.
Can't record on an external recorder
connected to the [OUTPUT] (DIGITAL) jack.
Make sure that the external recorder is set to a sampling
frequency of 44.1 kHz.
Make sure that the audio format of the external recorder
supports S/P DIF.
Can't create a new project or copy a project
If the display indicates "FULL," this means that 1,000
projects already exist, and no further projects can be
created. Please delete unwanted projects.
The display indicates "STOP RECORDER,"
and operation is not possible
The currently-performed operation cannot be performed
while the recorder is running. Press the STOP[
P
