Zoom MRS-1044 - Manual (Page 6)

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.
