Introduction Overview Thank you for purchasing the ZOOM MRS-802 multitrack recording studio (subsequently referred to as "the MRS-802"). The MRS-802 is a digital audio workstation with the following features: B Brings together all the functionality you need for complete music production The MRS-802 provides all the functionality you need for professional music production: hard disk recorder, drum machine, digital mixer, effects, CD-R/RW drive and more. From creating the rhythm tracks to multitrack recording, mixdown, and burning an audio CD, the MRS-802 lets you do it all. B8-track x 10-take recorder The recorder section provides eight mono tracks and a stereo master track for mixdown. Because each track has ten virtual tracks (V-takes), you can record multiple takes for important parts such as vocals or guitar solos and select the best take later. A full range of editing functions is also provided, allowing you to copy or move audio data. Special functions include reversing of data and time stretch/compression. Data exchange and copy between regular tracks and the master track is also possible. B Bounce function allows ping-pong recording of eight 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 add the rhythm section parts and bounce the result onto two V-takes. If you select the master track as bounce target, internal mixdown is possible without using up any of the regular tracks or V-takes. E Phrase loop function for pasting audio material Using recorded audio data or audio files picked up from a CD-ROM disc, you can create "phrase loops" for example drum licks and guitar riffs. The playback sequence and repetition count of phrases can be programmed easily and written to any track or V-take as audio data. E Rhythm section can be used to provide guide rhythm or accompaniment The rhythm section provides more than 400 types of accompaniment patterns using the internal drum sound generator. This can be used as independent guide rhythm or in synchronization with the recorder. You can also program a pattern playback sequence to create the rhythm accompaniment for an entire song. In addition to conventional step input, the MRS-802 features an innovative concept called FAST input developed by ZOOM which lets you quickly build songs with simple steps. ZOOM MRS-802

Introduction EH Mixer section supporting automated operation The internal digital mixer can handle 8 tracks plus the drum channel. The level, panning, and EQ settings of each channel can be saved 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. Versatile effects The MRS-802 provides "insert effects" that can be inserted into a specified signal path, and "send/ return effects" that are used via the mixer send/return loop. 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. EH CD-R/RW drive When you have created a mixdown on the master track, you can easily burn it onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc using the built-in drive. This is convenient for creating audio CDs and to back up data that you have recorded. The version of the MRS-802 without internal CD-R/RW drive lets you install the optional drive CD-01 later, giving you the same functionality as the integrated model. In order to take full advantage of the MRS-802's versatile functions 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-802

Introduction Introducing the MRS-802 The MRS-802 is internally divided into the following five sections. + Recorder section Records and plays back audio. + Rhythm section Uses internal drum machine to play rhythms. + Mixer section Mixes the signals from the recorder section and rhythm section, for output via the stereo output jacks and for mixdown on dedicated master tracks. + Effect section Processes input signals or signals of the mixer section. The MRS-802 has two types of effects: an insert effect that is inserted in a specific signal path, and a send/return effect that uses the send/return loop of the mixer section. Recorder section —> [CT T + CD-R/RW drive section Lets you burn an audio CD using the contents of the master tracks, or read audio material from CDs and CD-ROMs. The diagram below shows the relationship and signal flow between each section. Now let's take a closer look at each section. Recorder section The recorder section of the MRS-802 has eight mono tracks tracks 1 - 8). (A "track" is a separate section for recording audio data.) Up to two tracks can be recorded simultaneously and up to eight tracks can be played back simultaneously. Each of the tracks has ten switchable virtual tracks (called "V-takes"). In each track, one V-take can be selected for recording/playback. For example, you can record guitar solos onto multiple V-takes, and then compare them later to select the best take.

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. Recorder section Taxi i( Track2 \S Track3 Rhythm section Rhythm | Rhythm Rhythm || EL > pattem | pattern pattem BBES Drum sound | to the mixer 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. Hinr © + 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. + Volume + Panning + _2-band EQ + Send level to the send/return effect + Mute on/off + _V-take switching (except for drum track) Effect section 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. H 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 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.

Introduction ‘When the setting is changed to (3), the final stereo mix can be processed. This setting is suitable for processing the signal of the entire song during mixdown. H Send/return effect This effect is internally connected to the send/return loop of the mixer section. There are two types of send/return effect, reverb and chorus/delay, which can be used simultaneously. The send level of each mixer channel adjusts the depth of the send/return effect. Raising the send level will produce a deeper reverb or chorus/delay effect for that channel. ZOOM MRS-802

3. While playing the instrument, use the [INPUT]

control 1 to adjust sensitivity. Adjust the control so that the [PEAK] indicator lights up occasionally when you play the instrument at the loudest level. Lights up occasionally >

4. Wie playing the instrument, use the [REC LEVEL]

control to adjust the recording level. The [REC LEVEL] control modifies the signal level going to the recorder (after passing the insert effect). The IN1/IN2 level meter in the lower left of the display shows the level. Set the level as high as possible, but avoid settings that cause the 0 dB indicator to light during play peaks. INPUT 1 Level INPUT 2 Level If the recording level setting is too high, the [CLIP] indicator of the [REC LEVEL] control lights up.

The signal supplied to the MRS-802 can be modified with the insert effect. This effect can be applied to the input, to any track, or immediately before the [MASTER] fader. The insert effect actually is a multi-effect unit that contains a number of single effects (effect modules) such as compressor, distortion, and delay, connected in series. A combination of effect modules that can be used simultaneously is called an “algorithm”. The following steps show how to select an algorithm and apply the insert effect to the guitar signal connected to the GUITAR/BASS jack. 1, Press the [INPUT SOURCE] key in the effect section. The insert position of the insert effect is indicated on the 2nd line of the display. The default is “IN” (INPUT). To change the setting, turn the dial to select “IN”.

Reference [Effects] This section explains the functions and operation of the effect section built into the MRS-802. About the effects The MRS-802 has two types of effects, “insert effects” and “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 for inserting the effect. (1) Input mixer (2) Any channel of the track mixer (3) Immediately before the [MASTER] fader For example if you insert the effect into the input mixer, the input signal is directly processed by the effect and the result is recorded on a track of the recorder. Alternatively, if you insert the effect into a channel of the track mixer, the effect processes the playback signal from the audio track or drum kit By selecting a point immediately before the [MASTER] fader, you can use the effect to process the final mix before recording on the master track. Send/return effects The send/return effects are internally connected to the send/ return of the mixer section. The MRS-802 has two send/ return effects, reverb (REVERB) and chorus/delay (CHORUS/DELAY), which 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 Insert effect OUTPUT (1) Recorder. ©® INPUT 1/2 recuever | Section Track Sue Track 2 Track7 Input mixer Track8 Rhythm section [insert effect] Track mixer + Input mixer Track mixer CHORUSDEUN CHORUS/DELAY SEND (O) Oo OO > CHORUSDELAY ] REVERB SEND © (CMOIO) ee REVERB REC LEVEL cm EL 2 PK Send/return effect Lo, … [Send/return effect ] ZOOM MRS-802

Reference [Effects] Using the insert effect This section explains how to select the insert point for 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 number of single effects such as compressor, distortion, and delay, connected in series. Each of these separate effects is called an "effect module". For the insert effect, you can use up to six effect modules simultaneously. À combination of such effect modules is called an "algorithm". The MRS-802 incorporates the following algorithms. + CLEAN + DIST

+ BASS These algorithms are for recording guitar/bass. + MIC An algorithm for vocals or microphone recording. + Dual MIC An algorithm for two entirely separate mono input and mono output channels. + LINE An algorithm mainly for recording line-level output instruments such as synthesizer or electric piano. + MASTERING An algorithm for processing a stereo mix signal, such as during mixdown. The arrangement of the effect modules and the signal flow for each algorithm is shown in the diagram below. DO Hinr © There are three types of algorithms: mono input/stereo output, stereo input/stereo output, and mono input x 2/mono output x 2. This difference will affect the signal flow when the insert effect is inserted. For details, refer to p. 102. Each effect module comprises various parameters that adjust the effect type and the effect depth. 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 ZNR h EQ f

PAT LVL A newly created project contains 190 patches, and these patches are organized according to the eight algorithms.

Editing the insert effect patch The effect modules of the insert effect have various “effect parameters” that can be adjusted to make detailed changes to the character of the effect. By editing the effect parameters, you can obtain the desired tone or effect. For some effect modules, you can change the “effect type”. For example in the MIC algorithm, the MODULATION/ DELAY effect module provides ten effect types such as chorus, flanger, and phaser, and use any one of these. When you change the effect type, the effect parameters will also change. Effect | MODULATION/ module DELAY

Reference [MIDI] This section explains the MIDI-related settings of the MRS-802. About MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard that allows messages such as performance data (collectively called “MIDI messages”) to be exchanged between devices such as electronic musical instruments and computers: The MRS-802 supports MIDI and is equipped with the following two MIDI connectors.

+ MIDIIN connector Serves for receiving MIDI messages sent from an external MIDI device. This connector is used mainly to receive Note messages from an external MIDI device in order to play a drum kit. + MIDI OUT connector Serves for transmitting MIDI messages from the MRS-802. Note messages that represent the content played by a rhythm pattern or rhythm song can be transmitted from this connector, and it can be used to synchronize playback of an external MIDI device to the MRS-802. What you can do using MIDI On the MRS-802, you can use MIDI for the following functions. H Receive play information You can use an external MIDI keyboard or a computer to send play information (Note On/Off messages) to the MRS- 802, to play a drum kit of the rhythm section. When creating a rhythm pattern, you can use an external MIDI keyboard to input play information. HE Send play information You can send Note On/Off messages from the MRS-802 when playing a rhythm song/rhythm pattern. These can be used to play an external MIDI sound source. EH Send sync information The MRS-802 can output MIDI Timing Clock, Song Position Pointer, and Start/Stop/Continue messages to synchronize operation with an external MIDI device. Playback and other transport operations as well as locate operations can be synchronized. EH Send/receive control change information The MRS-802 can receive Control Change messages from an external MIDI device to perform a control change, set the drum kit level, and so on. The MRS-802 also can send out Control Change messages according to drum level information contained in a rhythm song. For a list of supported Control Change messages, see the appendix at the end of this manual. EH SMF playback The MRS-802 can read Format 0 SMFS (Standard MIDI Files) from a CD-R/RW/ROM disc and load the contents into a project. Once loaded, an SMF can use internal or external sound sources and perform playback in syne with the recorder section or rhythm section (SMF player function).

Appendix MRS-802 hard disk contents The hard disk in the MRS-802 comprises two partitions called "MSR-USR" and "MSR-FAC". The "MSR-FAC" partition contains files that are needed for performing hard disk maintenance. Never attempt to manipulate the files in this partition. “MSR-USR" contains the following files and folders. © PRIINIT folder Contains data such as rhythm song/rhythm pattern data and drum kit data that are read when creating a new project. The following files are located in this folder. PRJDATA.INI Project data RHYTHM.SEQ Rhythm pattern and rhythm song data © SYS folder Contains the system files.

Number of most recently edited project BURNLIST.CDT Album data © PROJxxx folder Contains the individual data for each project. The following files are located in this folder. TRACKXx_x.DAT Audio data for each track/V-take PHRASExx.PH Audio data for each phrase (mono or stereo left channel) PHRASExx.PHR Audio data for each phrase (stereo right channel) LOOPxx.LSQ Formula data entered when creating phrase loops RHYTHM.FST Formula data entered when creating rhythm song with FAST wethod. PRJDATA.INI Project settings data RHYTHM.SEQ Rhythm pattern and rhythm song data © WAV_AIFF folder Folder for storing WAV/AIFF files. Used when importing phrases from the internal hard disk. To use this folder, install the optional USB card (UIB-01/ UIB-02) and copy WAV/AIFF files from a computer. © SOUNDS folder Drum kit data
