Reference [Phrase Looping]
The MRS-1608 lets you handle part of a recorded track or an audio file on CD-ROM as a phrase that can be loaded and
played freely, in a preprogrammed sequence or for a specified number of times. The result can be written to any track/V-
take. This function is called “phrase looping”. For example, you could use a commercially available sampling CD to pick
up drum loops in any desired order, and use these to create a rhythm track.
This section describes the steps for phrase looping.
The MRS-1608 can manage up to 100 phrases in one
project. The phrases are stored on the hard disk in an area
called the “phrase pool”. The following kinds of data can
be used as a phrase.
(1) Any track/V-take in the currently loaded
project
You can select any track/V-take in the currently loaded
project and specify a range to be used as a phrase.
(2) Audio file on CD-ROM/R/RW
You can load a stereo or mono audio file (8-bit or 16-bit
AIFF or WAV file with sampling frequency 8 – 48 kHz)
from a CD-ROM/R/RW disc inserted in the CD-R/RW
drive and use it as a phrase. If the optional UIB-02 card is
installed in the MRS-1608, you can also copy audio files
from the hard disk of a computer to the hard disk of the
MRS-1608 and then use such files as a phrase.
NOTE
After loading, all audio files are played with a sampling
frequency of 44.1 kHz. If necessary, files with other
sampling frequencies can be converted (resampled) to
44.1 kHz.
Discs that do not comply to ISO 9660 Level 2
specifications will not be recognized.
CD-R or CD-RW discs that have not been finalized will not
be recognized.
(3) Phrase from another project
You can load any phrase from a project stored on the
internal hard disk of the MRS-1608.
HINT
It is not possible to directly load an audio track from an audio
CD as a phrase. You must first read it into a track 1 – 16 of
the MRS-1608 (
p. 160) and then load the audio track into
the phrase pool.
Once you have loaded phrases into the phrase pool, you can
specify various parameters such as playback range and
volume level, and then you can specify a playback sequence
and number of times each phrase is played. The result can
then be written to any track/V-take as a phrase loop.

be used?
