    Operation Manual Introduction Thank you for selecting the ZOOM PS-02 Palmtop Studio (simply called the "PS-02" in this manual). In order to get the most out of this sophisticated product, please read this manual carefully before use. We recommend that you keep the manual at hand for future reference.

  • Page 2: Safety Precautions

    Caution Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the PS-02. About power • Since power consumption of this unit is...

  • Page 3: Features

    Up to six effects can be combined in an effect program, and 120 effect programs can be stored in the memory of the unit. The PS-02 is handy as a stand- alone effect device for guitar or as an effect device for guitar/bass/vocal recording.

  • Page 4: What The Ps-02 Can Do

    The PS-02 is digital MTR (multi-track recorder) using SmartMedia for recording. You can store up to 100 songs on a single SmartMedia card. A song can consist of two rhythm tracks from the built-in rhythm machine (drums and bass) and three audio tracks.
  • Page 5 You'll get the hang of it in a few minutes and create great backing tracks, even without any sequencer experience. The PS-02 incorporates more than 200 ready-to-use drum and bass rhythm patterns for all sorts of musical genres, including rock, blues, dance music, and many more. Just line up the patterns in the desired order for playing and specify the chords.
  • Page 6 The audio tracks 1 - 3 of the PS-02 each have ten virtual tracks (called "takes"). For recording or playback, you select a take. For example, you might record several takes of a guitar solo and then compare these later to choose the one you like best.
  • Page 7 The effect output signal is present not only to the internal recorder but also appears at the OUTPUT jack, so that you can record the processed signal or use the PS-02 as a stand- alone effect device. The mixdown effect lets you apply special processing on a completed song.

  • Page 8: Names And Connectors

    To use the PS02, SmartMedia is required. Before turning on the power, insert the supplied SmartMedia card into the [DATA CARD] slot, as shown in the illustration. Note that the PS-02 will not operate correctly if no SmartMedia card is inserted.

  • Page 17: Operation Guide

    Operation Guide This section describes how to create a song, starting from zero. The process can be divided into four main steps: • Step 1 (PATTERN) • Step 2 (CHORD) • Step 3 (RECORD) • Step 4 (MIXDOWN) At the top of each page in the operation guide, you will see a diagram with four blocks corresponding to the four steps.

  • Page 18: Program Pattern Change Information

    PATTERN CHORD Program pattern change information On the rhythm track of the song, you can program information about switching patterns (pattern change information).

  • Page 19 PATTERN CHORD When you select an empty song and press the [REC] key, a 2-measure rhythm track is automatically created. Measure 1 contains the "oo" pattern change information and the "Am" (A Minor) chord change information. Press the cursor [ ] key twice. With the cursor [ ]/[ ] keys you can move backward and forward from the current measure in the rhythm track.
  • Page 20 Using sliders 1/2/3, select "MAIN08 / ROCK / M8-1-1" as rhythm pattern for measure 1. Patterns incorporated in the PS-02 are divided into the three elements section/style/variation, which can be selected with slider 1/2/3. In this example, you use sliders 1/2/3 to select MAIN08 / ROCK / M8-1-1 in sequence.
  • Page 21 PATTERN CHORD • For information on available rhythm patterns, see the "Rhythm Pattern List" on page 83. • During programming, you can use the [ the pattern. • When pattern change information is entered in a measure, that pattern will be repeated until the measure where the next pattern change information is input.
  • Page 22 PATTERN CHORD When the pattern change information of measure 1 was deleted, the pattern for playback will be "MAIN08 / ROCK / M8-1-1". Deleting unneeded measures To delete an unneeded measure, use the pattern input display and go to the first measure you want to delete. Then press the [INS/DEL] key twice.

  • Page 23: Program Chord Change Information

    PATTERN CHORD Program chord change information After the pattern has been input, you should program chord change information following the diagram on page 18. Unlike pattern change information, chord change information can be specified in beat units. Entering chord change information At the pattern input display, press the cursor [ ] key (or [ ] key).
  • Page 24 PATTERN CHORD Root erase Setting slider 1 to the full down position erases the chord change information • Each pattern is preprogrammed with a dedicated bass phrase which is based on the root of the chord and transposed up or down. For some chords, partial phrase transformation is also employed.

When the rhythm track or audio track information of the PS-02 was changed, the change is automatically saved on the SmartMedia. There is no need for the user to perform a manual save. (However, when the contents of an effect patch were changed, the change must be saved by the user.)

  • Page 27: Record Guitar Signals On The Audio Tracks

    PATTERN CHORD Record guitar signals on the audio tracks Now that rhythm track programming is completed, you are ready to record effect processed guitar signals on audio tracks 1 - 3. Recording rhythm guitar 1 First, let's record some rhythm guitar backing as shown below on audio track 1.
