Reference [Other Functions]

This section explains various other functions of the MRS-1608.
Playing several projects
continuously
(sequence play)
The MRS-1608 lets you line up the master tracks from
multiple projects saved on the hard disk and play them
continuously in a specified order (sequence play). This is
handy to record several projects on an external device
such as a MD recorder.
To use sequence play, you create a playlist which
specifies the order of projects. (Up to 10 different
playlists can be created.) You can also import playlist
information into an album used for creating an audio CD.

1.
Verify that the V-take you want to play is
selected for each project's master track.
2.
From the main screen, press the
[PROJECT] key in the display section.
The project menu for various project related functions
