The insert effect processes the signal from input 1/2 before it is sent to the tracks for recording. In

this example, you apply the insert effect on the guitar signal supplied to the INPUT 1 jack. If you

do not wish to use the insert effect, proceed to section 2-3 on page 15.

Press the [MIXDOWN] key and the [SEND/RETURN] key simultaneously.

The [MIXDOWN] key and [SEND/RETURN] key serve to select the effect to be used.

Pressing both keys simultaneously causes the keys to flash in red. This indicates that the

insert effect has been activated.

While the [MIXDOWN] key and [SEND/RETURN] key are both flashing simultaneously,

the mixdown effect and send/return effect cannot be used.

The display shows the currently selected algorithm (effect type).

The following algorithms are available for the insert effect.

Use the [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys to select the algorithm and the setting value.

ZOOM MRS-4

This section describes how to record an electric guitar connected to the [INPUT 1] jack on track 1

to create the first track of a recording.

Connect the instrument to the input of the MRS-4 and adjust input sensitivity.

Connect the instrument to the [INPUT 1] jack on the MRS-4 (

➜

p. 8).

Press the [ON/OFF] key 1 so that the key lights up.

The [ON/OFF] keys 1/2 serve to activate their respective inputs. When the key is lit, the

input is active.

To r ecord from an instrument with stereo output such as a synthesizer, connect the L/R

output of the device to the [INPUT 1]/[INPUT 2] jacks and set both [ON/OFF] keys 1/2 to

ON.

The MRS-4 can accept up to two simultaneous input signals.

While playing the instrument, use the [INPUT LEVEL] control 1 to adjust the input

sensitivity.

The signal input level appears on the level meter (IN) in the left part of the display. Adjust

the control so that the 0 dB indicator does not light when you play the instrument at the

loudest level.

LIMIT 0

LIMIT 9

This effect suppresses signal peaks to keep the input signal below a certain

level. During stereo recording, the effect monitors both inputs. Higher setting

values produce stronger limiter action.

Algorithm 1

( LIMIT 0 – LIMIT 9 )

Algorithm 2

( COMP 0 – COMP 9 )

Algorithm 3

( CAB CO, CAB BC, CAB ST )

COMP 0

COMP 9

This effect compresses the signal when the input signal exceeds a certain

level. During stereo recording, the effect monitors both inputs. Higher setting

values produce stronger compressor action.

This is a cabinet simulator that duplicates the sound of a guitar amplifier. It is

useful when a distortion effect is connected between the guitar and the input

of the MRS-4. The abbreviation on the right indicates the amp type.
