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.

5.When turning power off, proceed in the sequence MRS-1044 series external SCSI device.
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.)

When the master track is played, the signal is inserted just before the MASTER fader. (At this time, the DRUM, BASS, 1 – 6, 7/8, and 9/10 channels are muted.) The MASTER fader can be used to adjust the volume, and the signal can be monitored at the [OUTPUT] jacks.
Basic master track operation
To switch between recording and playback of the master track, the MASTER status key in the fader section is used. Each push of this key cycles through the following modes.

The UTILITY BOUNCE menu also comprises a REC TR screen for selecting whether recorded tracks are played when executing a bounce, but this setting has no effect when playing a bounce on the master track.
6. Press the display section [V-TAKE] key.
The [V-TAKE] key will light, and a screen will appear in which you can switch the V-take for each track.
Mixdown using master track
This section explains how to mix tracks 1 – 10 of the recorder section and the rhythm section (drum kit + bass program) onto the stereo master track (bounce).
Selecting the master track V-take
First, you must select the V-take of the master track that
yor plan to record onto.
1.In the main screen, press the [PROJECT/UTILITY] key.
The display will indicate "PROJECT".
2.Use the cursor [E]/[R] keys to make the display indicate "UTILITY BOUNCE", and then press the [ENTER] key.
3.Use the cursor [E]/[R] keys to make the display indicate "BOUNCE REC TAKE", and then press the [ENTER] key.
4.Verify that "CURRENT" is shown on the second line of the display.
This screen selects the V-take to be bounced to. When "CURRENT" is shown, the currently selected V-take will be used for recording. If another setting is shown, the bounced material may be recorded on an unexpected track.
7. Press the MASTER status key.
The master track is selected as the target track. The display shows the number and the name of the V-take currently selected for the master track. (For unrecorded V-takes, the name field reads "NO DATA".)
