THE EVOLUTION OF RECORDING

Everyone should be able to record their music just the way they imagine it.

The new MRS-1266 Recorder from Zoom is so powerful and easy to use

that with a little practice any musician can become a composer, engineer, and producer.

With the 1266's digital audio quality and an incredible array of recording tools,

anyone can now create professional-quality recordings with just one incredible machine.

Phrase loop

With the optional CD-R/RW drive, you can import

sample phrases from pre-recorded drum beat or

sound sample CD-ROMs. Store up to 100 phrases

per project. Cut and paste to create loops. Specify

the start point, number of measures, end point and

sound level, and you can modify the length of a phrase

without changing the pitch. Thanks to Zoom's various

editing features, you can drop loops in and out of

songs quickly and easily.

Insert effects

The MRS-1266 comes with an awesome array of

built-in effects. They are sub-divided into five major

categories, or "algorithms": Guitar/bass, Microphone,

Line, Dual input (i.e. guitar and vocal mic) and

Mastering. Each algorithm is built from four major

effect modules (compressor, pre-amp/drive,

equalizer and modulation/delay). 94 different effects

are selectable beyond that. Six effect types can be

used simultaneously, and saved as effect "patches".

Up to 280 patches can be stored for each project.

You can insert your effects at different points in the

signal path: at instrument level, track level or master

track level. This gives you the option to record 'dry'

and adjust the effect type and depth after recording.

By using dual algorithms, you can simultaneously

insert different effects on instrument combinations

such as guitar + mic, mic + mic, or guitar + bass.

Send / Return effects

Send/Return allows you add an effect to all your tracks.

All the effect algorithms, plus 30 pre-set effect patches

are included so that any kind of hall, room, or studio

sound can be simulated.

Mastering effects

Mastering is the key to making a professional-

sounding recording. By using the MRS-1266's

mastering effects, such as a 3-band Compressor, 3-

band EQ, a Normalizer, Dimension, Lo-Fi, and

Resonance, you can add flavor and sound pressure

to a master track that has been mixed down to stereo.

These effects can also be routed as insert effects on

each track.

VAMS

(

Variable Architecture Modeling System

)

refers to ZOOM's amplifier modeling system. It

accurately simulates the sound of classic amplifiers

and cabinets. This hybrid analog / digital processing

allows you to plug in a guitar, bass or any other

instrument direct, and get a rich, accurate amp tone

without having to mic a real cabinet.

Auto Chromatic Tuner

A riff that is out-of-tune can't be fixed later--no matter

how hard you try. The MRS-1266 has a built-in bypass

line tuner that quickly and easily tunes you up.

Built-in CD-R/RW drive

The MRS-1266 CD comes equipped with a reliable,

high performance CD-R/RW drive. Master and burn

your own CD, or backup and restore project data. If

you want to backup your entire internal hard drive,

multiple disc saves can be accomplished. The CD-R/

RW also allows you to import WAV/AIFF data from

sample collection CDs or import audio from standard

music CDs. A standard CD player function is also built-

in. The 1266 is also available without the drive, and

the CD-01 CD-R/RW drive is available as an optional

accessory.

13 track playback

Up to 13 tracks can be played back simultaneously,

including 10 audio tracks, stereo drums, and a mono

bass track. Track 1-8 has independent faders, track 9-

10 are linked to one stereo fader. Two more faders

are dedicated to drum and bass. Track parameters

such as EQ and effect send level can be adjusted for

stereo linked odd and even tracks, which correspond

to a stereo source such as an external synthesizer.

Track parameters

Each track has parameters including a two band

(variable frequency) EQ, a Chorus/Delay send level,

Reverb send level, and L/R Pan controls. Pressing

the solo switch will mute all other tracks except the

specified one track.

Transport

You can put up to 100 locate markers in a song or

"project." The Scrub/Preview function is a tool for

locating a precise mark point on a track. The A-B

repeat lets you repeat a desired section of a project

easily, for rehearsing that tricky Punch In/Out.

Scene memory

Automation used to be a tool found only in high-end

studios. Not anymore. Save your fader positions,

effects patches, send-return effects and key status

as a "Scene". Up to 100 scene settings can be stored

for one project. Call them up anytime to compare and

contrast. Or assign different scenes to different location

markers in your project. The MRS-1266 will

automatically switch levels and effects within your song

during playback or mix-down.

Mastering

In addition to 10 audio tracks for recording, a separate

maser track is provided as a target channel for stereo

mix-down. The master track has 10 V-Takes available,

so you can try different mixes and mastering effects.

Time stretch/compression allows you to adjust the

length of a song by + – 50 percent-a far wider range

than real-time vari-pitch functions allow. Use the

adjustable fade in/out function for professional-

sounding beginnings and ends. Increase the average

sound pressure level using the multi-band compressor

and multi-band equalizer in the mastering effect

section, and maximize the signal level using the

normalizer. Delete the silent areas using the trimming

function, and burn your new song to a CD. Or select

several different songs and burn an 'album'

automatically.

Create rhythm and

audio tracks interactively

It's tough to lay down a final drum track before you

work out your melodies. With the MRS-1266, you

create a temporary rhythm guide by choosing from

the library of 400 factory preset patterns, and setting

the tempo. Then specify a bass chord progression,

and start recording your ideas. Once you have nailed

a few tracks, you can fine-tune the rhythm tracks. Also,

by importing SMF (Standard Midi File), you can use a

variety of existing rhythm patterns.

12-key touch sensitive pad bank

Up to 10 songs -drum and bass patterns- can be stored

in one project, and different rhythm arrangements can

be assigned to each of the 10 V-Takes. You can choose

step or real-time recording for creating original patterns;

up to 20,000 steps/events can be recorded. With either

method, the 12 key (full chromatic scale) pad bank

makes recording drum or bass patterns easy. And with

variable sensitivity, your playing sounds even more real.

The best electronic

drum & bass sounds anywhere

Zoom has been making drum machines for years, and

they are well known for having the best electronic drum

sounds in the business. 127 drum sounds have been

recorded as 16-bit linear PCM, 30 polyphonic. 26

varieties of ultra-real bass guitar sounds are also

provided.

Build your own drum kits

There are 50 factory preset drum kits built-in to the

MRS-1266, each with a distinctly different sound. Each

drum kit is made up of 36 different drum sounds. You

can also built custom kits using the faders as a drum

kit sub mixer, and even add effects like EQ, reverb

and chorus to individual drums. These kits can be

saved and modified as you wish.

Win Mac

Zoom's exclusive "FAST"

rhythm programming

The

(Formula Assisted Song Translator)is

a brand-new programming method for building

rhythm patterns and structuring your songs. Pattern

information can be entered like an algebraic

equation. After assigning numbers to different

rhythm patterns, you simply input an equation. For

example, "1+ (2

3 x 8

6,"

is a song that starts with an introduction(1) , repeats

the song pattern(2

8) three

times, and finishes with an ending pattern(6). Once

you have built a song using FAST, it is simple to

add or remove sections, cut, insert, change tempo

information, and otherwise edit the rhythm portion

of your composition.

The ultimate all-in-one studio

It's like having a professional recording studio on your

desk. The MRS-1266 has ten independent tracks

plus a stereo Master channel. It has a full-function

mixer section, programmable drum and bass

machines, a huge array of effects and an optional

CD burner for final cuts. When inspiration strikes,

you have all the tools you need to record, edit, mix

and master your compositions. With 44.1 kHz

sampling, 16-bit linear un-compressed data, 24-bit

A/D D/A conversion and 24-bit processing, you are

building songs on a professional level digital

foundation.

10 physical tracks x 10 V-takes

100 tracks

Not even the pros get every track right the first time.

With 10 Virtual "V-Takes" per channel, you get 10

chances per track to get it right. Select the best take

from several sessions, choose a favorite set of effect

and rhythm variations, and combine them for a final

mix. With a 20 GB hard drive, you can record up to

60 hours of music, up to 1,000 songs or "projects,"

use all your V-Takes and still have memory left over.

6-track simultaneous recording

For live recording, the MRS-1266 offers all-new

flexibility. With 6 channel simultaneous input capability

you can mic a rehearsal or performance with up to six

microphones. Using virtual tracks, you can record 10

takes with a guide rhythm, and then pick the best take

for each instrument for the final mix. Vocal groups can

be evaluated objectively when they record on separate

tracks. Elaborate drum and percussion recordings

can be made. Record drums like the studio pros using

six microphones, and mix them down to a stereo drum

track.

Track edit

Mess up a guitar solo? Flub the lyrics? No problem.

Simply use the punch in/out to fix your mistakes.

Specify precise start and end points using the Scrub

and Preview functions, practice the lead using the

rehearsal function, then hit record. You can compare

your takes before and after, using the Capture and

Swap function. If you are running out of tracks,

"Bounce" everything to one empty track. Because it's

digital audio, you won't lose any sound quality.

Combine usable portions of a different takes, Copy/

Erase/ Exchange whole tracks, and Copy/ Move/

Erase/ Reverse just a specified part of track.
