Introduction
This documentation serves both as "MRS-1044CD Supplemental Manual" for users who have purchased the MRS-1044CD model and as "MRS-1044 Series version 2.0 Supplemental Manual" for users who have upgraded the MRS-1044 from version 1.x to version 2.0.
Information for users of the MRS-1044CD model
Thank you for purchasing the ZOOM MRS-1044CD
Multitrack Recording Studio (subsequently referred to as "the MRS-1044CD"). In addition to containing the same features as the MRS-1044, the MRS-1044CD also incorporates a CD-R/RW drive for further enhanced versatility.
The MRS-1044CD comes with the following two manuals.
MRS-1044 Operation Manual
Explains all features and functions that are common to the MRS-1044 and the MRS-1044CD. We recommend that you read the entire manual to familiarize yourself with multitrack recording principles and concepts.
MRS-1044CD / MRS-1044 version 2.0 Supplemental Manual (this document)
Explains the parts of the MRS-1044CD and describes functions added in version 2.0 of the MRS-1044 series.
Version 2.0 is installed by default in the MRS-1044CD model. Therefore you should refer both to the MRS-1044 Operation Manual and to this document for information on operating the device.
NOTE 
•For connection of an external ZIP drive, MO drive, or other SCSI device mentioned in this manual, the separately available SCSI Interface Board SIB-01 is required.
•The SIB-01 may be supplied with a CD-ROM for updating the system to Version 1.2, but if the current system is already running Version 2.0, there is no need to perform this update.
Information for users who have upgraded from MRS-1044 version 1.x to version 2.0
The section starting on page 6 of this manual explains
functions and operation steps that are added in version 2.0.
NOTE 
•For connection of an external CD-R/RW drive, ZIP drive, MO drive, or other SCSI device mentioned in this manual, the separately available SCSI Interface Board SIB-01 is required.
•The SIB-01 may be supplied with a CD-ROM for updating the system to Version 1.2, but if the current system is already running Version 2.0, there is no need to perform this update.

0.2 version Series 1044-MRS of Features
Features of MRS-1044 Series version 2.0
Version 2.0 of the MRS-1044 series adds the following functions.
● Additional master track
Separately from the normal record/play tracks (1 – 10), there is a stereo master track. The signal recorded on this pair of tracks is the same as supplied at the [OUTPUT] jacks.
For example, you could use tracks 1 – 10 and the rhythm section (drum kit + bass program) as sources for bouncing onto the master track, which serves as a dedicated mixdown track.
Master track
Bounce
The master track again comprises 10 V-takes, letting you create multiple versions of a final mix. Later, you can compare the versions and pick the best one.
● Creating an audio CD
Using the CD-R/RW drive, you can write the master track of one or several projects to a CD-R/CD-RW disc to create an audio CD. Audio data for up to 99 songs can be stored on a single CD-R/CD-RW disc, provided there is enough space on the disc.
An audio CD created in this way can be played on a regular CD player after the finalizing operation has been performed.
Because the MRS-1044CD model incorporates a
CD-R/RW drive, an audio CD can be created
CD
without any external equipment.
To create an audio CD with the MRS-1044 model, the separately available SCSI Interface Board SIB-01 and an external CD-R/RW drive are required.
● Project backup/restore
You can copy selected projects or all projects from the hard disk of the MRS-1044 to media such as a CD-R/CD-RW disc, ZIP disk, MO disk, or to another hard disk for backup. Stored data can be read back (restored) to the MRS-1044 series at any time.
When using CD-R/CD-RW discs or other removable media such as MO or ZIP, large projects can be split to span multiple volumes for backup and restore.
With the MRS-1044CD model, connection of an
external ZIP drive, MO drive, or hard disk
CD
requires the separately available SCSI Interface Board SIB-01, but backup/restore using CD- R/CD-RW discs can be performed with the integrated drive.
With the MRS-1044 model, connection of an external ZIP drive, MO drive, hard disk, or CD- R/RW drive requires the separately available SCSI Interface Board SIB-01.
● V-take trimming
A new option is added to the track edit menu, allowing fine adjustment of V-take start position and end position. For example, when creating an audio CD, silent passages at the start or end of the V-take can be cut.

NOTE 
•"Confirmed" refers to the fact that normal operation was confirmed with a production unit purchased by ZOOM Corporation. It is not guaranteed that all functions will operate with these specific models.
•ZOOM Corporation does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any kind of damage arising from the use of the above SCSI devices, whether they be direct or indirect from any third parties.
When the SIB-01 is installed in the MRS-
1044CD and an external CD-R/RW drive is
CD
connected, it is not possible to use this drive simultaneously with the integrated CD-R/RW drive.
To connect the MRS-1044 series (with SIB-01 installed) to a SCSI device, proceed as follows.
1.Make sure that power to the MRS-1044 series and the external SCSI device is turned off. Then connect the SCSI connector on the SIB-01 to the SCSI connector of the SCSI device, using a SCSI cable.
The SCSI cable should be a high-impedance type and should be as short as possible. The use of an inferior cable can lead to malfunction and damage.

2. Mount the terminator on the external SCSI device.
The "terminator" is a special resistor that must be present on the last device in a SCSI chain. Some devices have a terminator built in. In such a case, set the switch for the terminator to ON.
3.Set the SCSI ID of the external device to any number from 0 – 6.
The "SCSI ID" is a number from 0 to 7 that serves to identify a device in a SCSI chain. Because the SCSI ID of the MRS-1044 series (SIB-01) is fixed to "7", the setting range for an external SCSI device connected to the MRS-1044 is 0 – 6.
4.Turn power on in the following sequence external SCSI device MRS-1044 series.

NOTE 
•While a SCSI device is connected, make sure that its power is turned on when using the MRS-1044 series. Otherwise, operation of the MRS-1044 series may become instable.
The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected to the MRS-1044 is two (one CD-R/RW drive and one other SCSI device). Take care that there are no SCSI ID conflicts. For optimum operation stability, it is highly recommended to connect and use only one SCSI device at a time.

Master Track Operation
This section explains how to use the master track capability that has been added in version 2.0.
What is the master track?
The master track is a stereo track that is separate from the normal tracks 1 – 10. It is designed to be used as a mixdown track for the final stereo mix, and it can also be used for creating an audio CD.
When the master track is set to the recording mode, it will record the signal after the MASTER fader (the same signal as supplied at the [OUTPUT] jacks). For example, you could mix tracks 1 – 10 and the rhythm section (drum kits + bass program) and bounce the result onto the master track.
Master track
In the MRS-1044 series, one master track can be used per project. Like ordinary tracks, the master track also comprises 10 V-takes. This lets you create multiple versions with a different mixing balance, and select the best V-take later. A master track recorded in this way can be used as source material for creating an audio CD. (The selected V-take of a master track in a project can be written to CD-R/CD-RW.)

Creating an Audio CD
This section describes how you can create an audio CD by writing the master track of a project onto a CD-R/CD-RW disc in the CD-R/RW drive.
To create an audio CD with the MRS-1044 model, the separately available SCSI Interface Board SIB-01 and an external SCSI CD-R/RW drive are required.
|
Writing audio data |
|
About CD-R/CD-RW discs |
|
|
|
|
When writing audio data onto a CD-R/CD-RW disc, the currently selected V-take of the master track of each project is used as the source. Therefore the entire project must first be bounced onto the master track. (For information on the bounce procedure, see page 11.)
There are two ways of writing audio data to a CD-R/CD- RW disc.
● Writing by project
This method involves selecting a single project and writing the master track of that project to disc. When using this method, as long as the CD-R/CD-RW disc has not been finalized, it is possible to call up another project and add audio data later.
● Writing by album
This method involves first creating a list for the audio CD (called an "album") which contains information about master tracks from various projects that are to be included. The CD is then written in one operation, and finalizing is automatically performed, so that no more audio data can be added later.
HINT
"Finalizing" an audio CD refers to the procedure of making it playable on an ordinary CD player. After it has been finalized, no more data can be added to a CD-R/CD-RW disc.
NOTE 
•The waveform data of the currently selected V-take of the master track is recorded as is on the audio CD. Note that the setting of the MASTER fader has no effect on the recorded data.
•It is not possible to specify just a portion of the master track for recording. If necessary, use the trimming function (p. 12) to cut unneeded sections before and after the desired portion.
When creating an audio CD in the MRS-1044 series, you can select either CD-R or CD-RW discs as media. The features of the two disc types are described below.
● CD-R
This media type allows only one-time recording or adding of data. Once data has been written, it cannot be changed or erased. CD-R discs are available in 650 MB and 700 MB capacities.
To newly write audio data to disc, a blank CD-R is required. As long as the disc has not been finalized, it is possible to add further audio data.
● CD-RW
This media type allows recording, adding, and bulk-erasing of data. CD-RW discs are also available in 650 MB and 700 MB capacities.
To newly write audio data to disc, a blank or completely erased CD-RW is required. (For information on how to erase a CD-RW, see page 18.) As long as the disc has not been finalized, it is possible to add audio data.
An audio CD created with a CD-RW disc cannot be played in an ordinary CD player.
Recording audio data by project
You can select one project and write the contents of its master track to a CD-R/CD-RW disc.
Verify that the CD-R/RW drive is connected to the SIB-01 and turned on.
1.Verify that a suitable disc is inserted in the CD- R/RW drive.
To write new audio data, use a blank CD-R/CD-RW or a
completely erased CD-RW.
MRS-1044CD/MRS-1044 ver2.0
14
To add audio data, use a CD-R/CD-RW which has not been
finalized.
2. Select the project to be used as write source.
Verify that a recorded V-take is selected for the master track of that project. If necessary, use the trimming function to cut unneeded sections before and after the desired portion of the V-take.
3.In the main screen, press the [PROJECT/UTILITY] key.
The display will indicate "PROJECT".
4.Use the cursor [E]/[R] keys to make the display indicate "UTILITY CD-R/RW", and then press the [ENTER] key.
If the above menu does not appear, the MRS1044 has not properly recognized the CD-R/RW drive. Check the power on/off condition of the drive and the SCSI connection.
5.Use the cursor [E]/[R] keys to make the display indicate "CD-R/RW BURN CD", and then press the [ENTER] key.
The duration of the source V-takes is shown at the bottom of the display in hours (H), minutes (M), seconds (S), and milliseconds (MS).
6.To check the remaining write capacity of the disc, press the cursor [W] key.
The indication at the bottom of the display changes to show
the remaining capacity of the disc. Pressing the cursor [Q]
key returns to the previous display.

When the write process is finished, the display indication changes to "COMPLETE".
HINT
•If you press the [EXIT] key instead of the [ENTER] key, the display returns to the condition of the previous step.
•The fastest writing speed supported by the connected CD-R/RW drive will automatically be selected.
10. When writing is complete, press the [EXIT] key.
The system returns to the condition of step 5. To add more audio data, select the project with the desired source data and then repeat the above steps.
NOTE 
•When a new track is added, a pause of 2 seconds is created automatically.
•As long as the CD-R/CD-RW disc has not been finalized, the disc cannot be played on an ordinary CD player. (For information on how to audition a non-finalized CD-R/CD- RW disc, refer to the next section.)

Project Backup/Restore
This section describes how to copy projects of the MRS-1044 series to a CD-R/CD-RW disc, to another media type, or to an
external hard disk for backup/restore.
Storing single projects on external media (backup by project)
You can copy a specific project to a disc in the CD-R/RW drive or to an external SCSI device for backup. The following devices can be used.
•Internal CD-R/RW drive (MRS-1044CD only)
•External CD-R/RW drive (MRS-1044 only)
•MO (Magneto-optical disk) drive (128 MB, 230 MB, 540 MB)
•ZIP drive (100 MB, 250 MB)
•Hard disk (2.1 – 80 GB)
Depending on the type of media used for backup, you can have a large project span several media volumes, or add backup data for a separate project on one media volume. The following table shows the available backup methods for various media.

Troubleshooting
If there are problems during MRS-1044 series or SCSI device operation, check the following points first.
■MRS-1044 series does not recognize SCSI device
•Check whether SIB-01 is correctly installed.
•Check whether MRS-1044 series system has been updated to version 2.0
•Check whether SCSI cable is correctly connected, and whether SCSI device is powered.
•Check whether SCSI ID setting is appropriate.
•Check whether terminator is installed in the last device, or internal terminator has been set to ON. In rare cases, removing the terminator may improve operation stability.
■Audio CDs created with the MRS-1044 series cannot be played on an ordinary CD player
•Check whether the disc was finalized.
•Check whether the CD player is an old model.
On some old CD players, audio CDs created with CD-R discs will not play properly, even if the disc was finalized.
Audio CDs created with CD-RW discs will not play on normal CD players.
■Audio data cannot be written to the CD- R/CD-RW media
• Check whether the disc has already been finalized.
■ Backup cannot be performed
•Check whether the CD-R/CD-RW disc already contains other audio data.
•Check whether the hard disk has enough capacity.
■A backup spanning multiple volumes cannot be restored
•Was the correct disc inserted?
When the backup was performed by project, insert disc number 1. When the entire hard disk was backed up, insert the disc which contains the first project to be restored.
■While UIB-01 is being used, access indicator remains lit.
•When the UIB-01 is installed in the MRS-1044CD model and the unit is in USB mode, the disc access indicator may remain constantly lit. This does not consist a problem, and you can use the USB mode normally.
