Writing A Phrase Loop To A Track - Zoom MRS-1608 Operation Manual

HINT
If the formula does not fit on two lines, the indication scrolls
by one character each. If you use the cursor keys to move
the input position, the line scrolls accordingly.
If you make a mistake during input, correct it as follows.
●
Inserting a number or symbol
Use the cursor left/right keys to move the flashing
position to where you want to insert a new number/
symbol. Then enter the new number/symbol.
●
Deleting a number or symbol
Use the cursor left/right keys to move the flashing
position to the number or symbol that you want to delete.
Then press the [DELETE/ERASE] key.
When formula input is completed, specify the track/V-
take to which the phrase loop is to be written as audio
data.
HINT
• The entered formula will be stored as part of the project
also after writing the phrase loop. This allows you to later
call up the formula, edit it, and write the data again.
• After writing the phrase loop, it is not possible to write only
a part of the data or add a phrase to the loop. To make
changes, enter the new formula from the beginning to the
end and then perform the writing operation.

display, and press the [ENTER] key.
The display indication changes as follows. This screen
lets you select a track/V-take for writing the phrase loop.
CREATE CREATE
TR 1- 1 TR 1- 1
5.
Use the cursor up/down keys or the status
keys and the dial to select the track/V-take
to which to write the phrase.
CREATE CREATE
TR16- 1 TR16- 1
When track 16 is selected, turning the dial further to the
right selects tracks in odd-numbered/even-numbered
pairs (1/2, 7/8 etc.) or the master track. (Pressing two
status keys for odd/even-numbered tracks together selects
the tracks as two mono tracks.) When a stereo track, two
mono tracks, or the master track is selected, the V-take
currently selected for the two specified tracks or the
master track becomes the writing target.
NOTE
• By repeatedly pressing the status key of a stereo track,
you can select the odd-numbered track, even-numbered
track, and stereo track.
• If the phrase is mono and the selected write target track is
stereo, the same data will be written to both tracks.
• If the phrase is stereo and the write target track is mono,
the left and right channels of the phrase will be mixed
when the data are written to the track.
• When a V-take which already contains audio data is
selected, the existing data will be completely erased and
overwritten by the new audio data.
