Turning Program Change
messages on or off
You can specify whether Program Change messages will be
transmitted. Program Change are MIDI messages that
changes a sound number of MIDI device such as synthesizer.
Refer to steps 1 – 4 of "Basic procedure" to bring up the
indication "MIDI PRG CHG" on the display and press the
[ENTER] key. Then turn the dial to select one of the
following settings.

ON ON
● ON (Transmission on)
When the sound of the rhythm section is switched at the
MRS-1608, a Program Change message for the respective
MIDI channel is sent out (default setting).
● OFF (Transmission off)
Program Change messages will not be transmitted.
HINT
There is no item for turning Program Change receive on or off.
This function is always enabled, except when the drum kit/bass
program channel is off.
Turning MIDI Time Code (MTC)
messages on or off
You can specify whether MIDI Time Code (MTC) messages
used for synchronization will be transmitted.
Refer to steps 1 – 4 of "Basic procedure" to bring up the
indication "MIDI MTC" on the display and press the
[ENTER] key. Then turn the dial to select one of the
following settings.

30 30
● 24 (24 frames/second)
● 25 (25 frames/second)
● 29.97 (29.97 frames/second, non-drop)
ZOOM MRS-1608
● 30 (30 frames/second, non-drop)
When the MRS-1608 is running, MTC messages with the
respective frame per second setting are sent out.
● OFF (Transmission off)
MTC messages will not be transmitted.
MTC message output is based on recorder time information.
When using MTC to synchronize MIDI devices, the MRS-
1608 always functions as MTC master. Set up the other
device to operate as MTC slave which receives MTC
messages and functions accordingly.
An example for synchronizing the MRS-1608 with a
sequencer is shown below.

HINT
• MTC allows more precise synchronization than MIDI Timing
Clock messages.
• When MTC transmission is enabled, Timing Clock, Song
Position Pointer, and Start/Stop/Continue messages will all be
disabled.
