Introduction Overview Thank you for purchasing the ZOOM MRS-1044 multitrack recording studio (subsequently referred to as "he MRS-1044"). The MRS-1044 is a digital audio workstation with the following features:

B Brings together all the functionality you need for complete music production All the functionality you need for music production — hard disk recorder, drum/bass machine, mixer, effects,

and more — is provided by the MRS-1044. From creating the rhythm tracks to the processes of multitrack recording and mixdown, the MRS-1044 lets you do it all. M 10-track x 10-take recorder The recorder section provides six mono tracks and two stereo tracks, for a total of ten tracks. Two tracks can be recorded simultaneously, and up to ten tracks can be played back at a time. Each track has ten virtual tracks (V-takes). For important parts such as vocals or guitar solos, you can switch between virtual tracks to record multiple takes. A full range of editing functions is also provided, allowing you to copy or move audio data. & Bounce function that allows ping-pong recording of ten tracks simultaneously The bounce function makes it easy to consolidate multiple tracks into one or two tracks with just a few keystrokes. Even when there are no vacant tracks available, you can play back ten tracks simultaneously and bounce them down to two tracks. E Rhythm section that can be used to provide guide rhythm or accompaniment The rhythm section provides 255 types of accompaniment patterns that use the internal drum + bass sound generator. This can run in synchronization with the recorder, or be used as an independent guide rhythm. You can also program chords or pattern playback order to create the rhythm accompaniment for an entire song without using up any of the audio tracks. E Full-featured mixer section The internal digital mixer has thirteen channels: 2 drums, 1 bass, and 10 tracks. The level, pan, and EQ settings of each channel can be savped as separate "scenes." A saved scene can be recalled manually at any time, or can be switched automatically at a desired point in a song. H Versatile effects In terms of internal effects, the MRS-1044 provides an "insert effect" that can be inserted into a specified signal route, and a "send/return effect" that is used via the mixer send/return. The effects can be used in a variety of ways, from modifying the tone while recording a track, to spatial processing or mastering during mixdown. HE Excellent expandability An optional USB board and SCSI board are planned for release, allowing data to be transferred between the MRS-1044 and a personal computer or external storage device. This will make it easy to backup/restore data, to manage audio data and rhythm data, and to update the system. In order to take full advantage of the MRS-1044's versatile functionality and to ensure trouble- free enjoyment, please read this manual carefully. Keep this manual in a safe place together with the warranty card. ZOOM MRS-1044

uogonpos: Introducing the MRS-1044 Introducing the MRS-1044 The MRS-1044 is internally divided into the following four sections. e Recorder section This records and plays back audio. © Rhythm section This uses the internal drum/bass sound generator to play rhythms. e Mixer section This mixes the signals from the recorder section and rhythm section, and outputs them from the stereo output jacks. e 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. Recorder section Now let's take a closer look at each section. Recorder section The recorder section of the MRS-1044 has ten tracl mono tracks (tracks 1 — 6) and two stereo tracks (tracks 7/8 six 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. Tracks 1 23 4 5 6 7/8 9/10 V-takes| Hours =

Introducing the MRS-1044 Rhythm section Effect section The rhythm section of the MRS-1044 has 255 accompaniment patterns (several measures long) that use the internal drum/bass sound generator. (These are called “rhythm patterns.") Rhythm patterns can be played independently, or in synchronization with the recorder. Recorder section Taxi i( Track 2 \S Rhythm section Bass sound Rhythm > pattern so the mixer ÉLEe > Drum sound pattem | pattem Rhythm | Rhythm \

HINT You can also create original patterns by using either the eight pads located on the front panel or through the use of MIDI. You can arrange rhythm patterns in the desired order of playback, and program chords and tempo to create the rhythm accompaniment for an entire song. (This is called a “rhythm song.") This lets you construct the rhythm accompaniment for a song without using up any audio tracks. Mixer section The output of recorder tracks 1 — 6, 7/8 and 9/10, and the drum + bass sound output of the rhythm section are assigned to mixer section channels 1 — 6, channels 7/8, channels 9/10, DRUM channel, and BASS channel respectively. For each channel, the following parameters can be controlled independently. + Volume + Pan + _2-band EQ + Send level to the send/return effect + Mute on/off The MRS-1044 provides two types of effect: an "insert effect" and a "send/return effect." These two can be used simultaneously. These two effects have differing characteristics, as described below. H Insert effect This effect is used by inserting it into a specific signal route. You can choose one of the following three locations in which to place the insert effect. (1) immediately after the input jack (default setting) (2) The desired channel of the mixer (8) immediately before the MASTER fader By default, the insert effect is inserted immediately after the input jack (1) as shown in the diagram on p.6, allowing it to directly modify the signal that will be recorded on the track. By changing its location to (2) or (3), you can process a specific track or the entire song during mixdown. M Send/return effect This effect is internally connected to the send/return of the mixer section. There are two types of effect, reverb and chorus/delay, and they can be used simultaneously. The depth of the send/return effect is adjusted by the send level of each mixer channel. Raising the send level will produce a deeper reverb or chorus/delay effect for that channel. ZOOM MRS-1044

Re-recording only a specified region (Punch-in/out function) Re-recording only a specified region (Punch-in/out function) Punch-in/out is a function that lets you re-record just a specified region of a previously recorded track. The action of switching a currently-playing track to record mode is called "punch-in," and the action of switching back from recording to playback is called "punch-out." The MRS-1044 provides two ways to do this. You can use the panel keys or a foot switch (sold separately) to punch- infout manually (“manual punch-in/out"), or cause punch- in/out to occur automatically at previously specified points C'auto punch-in/out"). ONorQ When you use punch-in/out to re-record, the previously recorded material will be overwritten (replaced) by the newly recorded material. If you plan to compare the previous state with the result of punching-in/out, you must capture that track beforehand as Undo data (— p.44). Using manual punch-in/out Here's how to use manual punch-in/out to re-record a region of a previously recorded track. HINT If you want to use a foot switch (ZOOM FS01/FS02) to punch-in/out, connect the foot switch to the rear panel [FOOT SW] jack. ONor Q With the default settings of the MRS-1044, a foot switch connected to the [FOOT SW jack is set to start/stop song playback. If you want to use the foot switch to punch- in/out, you must first change the internal setting (> p.92).

where you want to punch-in, and press the PLAY D»-] key to begin playback.

5. When you come to the punch-in location, press the

REC [@] key (or press the foot switch). The REC [@] key will light, and recording will begin from that location.

6. When you come to the punch-out location, press

the REC [@] once again (or press the foot switch once again). The REC [@] key will go dark, and recording will be defeated from that point.

7. To stop the transport, press the STOP [IN] key.

8. To check the newly recorded content, locate to the

point of step 4, and press the PLAY [-] key. Using auto punch-in/out Auto punch-in/out is a function that lets you specify beforehand the region to be re-recorded. Punch-in will occur automatically when you reach the starting location (in point), and punch-out will occur automatically when you reach the ending location (out point). In point Out point Track | Playback Playback î In order to perform auto punch-in/out, use the [AUTO PUNCH-IN/OUT] key to first specify the In point and Out point, and then perform the recording operation. The procedure is as follows.

1. On the channel for the track that you want to re-

record, raise the fader to the 0 dB position.

2. While playing your instrument, use the [REC

LEVEL] control to adjust the recording level.

3. Locate to the point at which you want to punch-in,

and press the [AUTO PUNCH-IN/OUT] key. The [AUTO PUNCH-IN/OUT] key will blink. This sets the "In point" at which recording will begin. ZOOM MRS-1044

6. Repeatedly press the status key for the track on

which you want to punch-in/out, until the key blinks red. NoTE © A status key that is lit red means that the current location is between the In point and Out point. In this case, operate the transport once again to locate to a point that is earlier than the In point.

7. lf you want to rehearse the auto punch-in/out,

press the PLAY [b-] key. The recorder will begin playing. When you reach the In point, the track on which you are punching-in/out will be muted. When you reach the Out point, muting will be defeated. (You will always be able to monitor the input signal during this time.) Performing this action will not record anything on the track. When you are finished rehearsing, move once again to a location earlier than the In point.

8. To actually perform auto punch-in/out, hold down

the REC [@] key and press the PLAY [b-] key. When you reach the In point, recording will begin automatically (punch-in). When you reach the Out point, recording will end automatically, and playback will resume (punch-out).

LexIN] sous1sjo4 Reference [Mixer] This section explains the functions and operation of the two mixers built into the MRS-1044. About the mixer The mixer of the MRS-1044 is divided into two sections: an ‘input mixer" that processes the input signals from the [INPUT 1/2] jacks, and a "track mixer" that processes the signals from the tracks of the recorder section and from the rhythm section. Details of each mixer are described below. H Input mixer In the input mixer you can adjust the sensitivity of the signals that are input from the [INPUT 1/2] jacks, set various parameters such as pan and send levels to the send/return effects, and assign the signals to the recorder tracks. Recorder Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6 Track 7/8 Track 9/10 Input mixer REC LEVEL JAN

The parameters that can be adjusted in the input mixer are listed in the following table. Input mixer parameters Parameter Content CHO SEND _ | Volume sent to chorus/delay (send/return effect) REV SEND | Volume sent to reverb (send/return effect) PAN Leftright position (L/R channel balance) REC LVL | Volume of the input signal (position of the [REC LEVEL] control) Track mixer parameters B Track mixer In the track mixer you can process the playback signals of the recorder tracks (1 — 6, 7/8, 9/10) and the sound of the drum kit / bass program of the rhythm section, and mix these signals to stereo. The signal mixed by the track mixer is output via the MASTER fader from the [OUTPUT] jacks. Recorder OUTPUT Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6 Track 7/8 Track 9/10 Rhythm section DRUM BASS a Track mixer Channel DRUM BASS 1 In the track mixer, the signals that are output from each track are handled in units called "channels."

3. While playing your instrument, turn the [INPUT 1]/

[INPUT 2] control(s) to adjust the input sensitivity. Make adjustments so that the [PEAK] indicator flickers slightly when you play your instrument at its loudest volume.

4. If you will be recording the sound through the

insert effect, select an insert effect patch as necessary. With the default settings of a project, the insert effect is inserted into the input mixer, and a patch suitable for guitar/bass recording is selected. (For details on how to select a different patch, refer to p.77.) If you want to record without sending the sound through the insert effect, press the effect section [BYPASS/TUNER] key to bypass the insert effect.

5. While playing your instrument, turn the [REC

LEVEL] control to adjust the recording level. The [REC LEVEL] control adjusts the signal level before it is sent to the recording track (i.e., after it has passed through the insert effect). The [CLIP] indicator will light if the signal clips. HINT

• Adjust the [REC LEVEL] control as high as possible without allowing the [CLIP] indicator to light. + The level of the signal sent to the recording track will change according to the settings of the insert effect parameters. If you switch insert effect patches or edit the parameters, you should once again check whether the recording level is appropriate. + The precise setting of the REC LEVEL parameter can be checked by pressing the TRACK PARAMETER section IPAN] key — INPUT 1 or 2 [ON/OFF] key — cursor [W] key.

Reference [Rhythm] This section explains the functions and operation of the rhythm section, which uses internal drum sounds and bass sounds to generate backing performances. About the rhythm section The "rhythm section" of the MRS-1044 contains drum sounds and bass sounds, and can be used as a drum + bass machine. The rhythm section can be operated in synchronization with the recorder section, or operated independently. Here we will explain the basic concepts and terms that you need to know in order to use the rhythm section. B Drum kits and bass programs The accompaniment created by the rhythm section is produced by a “drum kit” and a "bass program." The drum kit is a set of 24 drum/percussion sounds such as kick, snare, and conga, and the MRS-1044 contains 31 different drum kits. You can select one of these drum kits, and use the front panel pads 1 — 8 to manually play each sound, or use them as a sound generator for accompaniment.

[s108y3] ooueiejey Reference [Effects] This section explains how to use the effects built into the MRS-1044. About the effects The MRS-1044 has two types of effects, an "insert effect" and two "send/return effects." The two types can be used simultaneously. The two types of effect are described below in detail. Insert effect The insert effect is used by inserting it into a specific signal route. You can select one of the following locations at which to insert the effect. (See the "Insert Effect" diagram below.) {t)Input mixer (2)Any channel of the track mixer (1 — 6, 7/8, 9/10, DRUM, BASS) (3)Immediately before the MASTER fader Insert effect] For example if you insert the insert effect into the input mixer, the effect can be applied to the signal that is input from the [INPUT 1/2] jacks, and recorded on a track of the recorder. Alternatively if you insert the insert effect into a channel of the track mixer or immediately before the MASTER fader, you can process a specific track or the entire song during mixdown. Send/return effects The send/return effects are internally connected to the send/return of the mixer section. The MRS-1044 has two send/return effects, reverb (REVERB) and chorus/delay (CHORUS/DELAY), and these two can be used simultaneously. The send levels of the input mixer or track mixer adjust the effect depth of the send/return effects. Raising the send level will send the corresponding signal to the input of the effect, and the signal processed by the effect will be returned immediately before the MASTER fader, and mixed with the other signals.

Using the insert effect Using the insert effect This section explains how to insert the insert effect, how to select a patch, and how to edit the patch. About insert effect patches The insert effect is a multi-effect unit that contains a chain of separate effects such as compressor, distortion, and delay. Each of these separate effects is called an "effect module," and up to six effect modules can be used simultaneously. À set of effect modules that can be used simultaneously is called an "algorithm." You can use one of the following four types of algorithms. + GUITAR/BASS: An algorithm suitable for recording guitar/bass. + MIC: An algorithm suitable for recording vocals etc. through a mic. This algorithm has two variations, "MIC SINGLE" for use with one mic, or "MIC DUAL" for use with two mics. +_LINE: An algorithm used mainly when recording stereo- output line-level devices such as synthesizers or electronic pianos. + MASTERING: An algorithm suitable for processing a stereo mix signal during mixdown, etc. The arrangement of the effect modules and the signal flow for each algorithm is shown in the diagram below. HINT Some algorithms are mono input / stereo output, and others are stereo input / stereo output. This difference will affect the signal flow when the insert effect is inserted. For details refer to p.77. The MIC algorithms *MIC SINGLE" and *MIC DUAL" will switch according to the effect type selected for the COMP/LIM module. For details on the effect types, refer to p.78. Each module has various parameters (corresponding to the knobs of a compact effect unit) that can be edited to adjust the character or depth of the effect. Settings for the parameters of each effect module and an overall volume setting (patch level) are collectively referred to as a patch." Patch PRE AMP/ — COMP H DRIVE H EQ } ZNR f

PAT LVL A newly created project contains 220 patches designed by ZOOM, and these patches are organized according to the four algorithms.

Reverb and chorus/delay each have an "effect type" that determines the type of effect, and various parameters that let you adjust the character of the effect. Settings for the effect type and parameters, together with a name, are collectively called send/return effect "patches." A newly created project contains 20 different reverb patches and 20 different chorus/delay patches. You can instantly switch reverb or chorus/delay settings simply by choosing the effect for which you want to select a patch (reverb or chorus/delay), and then selecting a patch.
