Recording; Selecting Your Recording Device - Korg mr-1 Owner's Manual

6. Recording

When you record on the MR-1, date and time information is automatically added to the file so
that you can manage your projects more easily.
If you set the date and time on the MR-1 (→p.28), the date and time will be correct. However, if the
rechargeable battery does not have enough power to turn the MR-1 on and you let it sit for a few
days, the date and time settings will be reset, so you'll need to set them correctly after recharging
the battery.

Selecting your recording device

In addition to using the included mic (CM-2M) for convenient recording, you can record via a
commercially-available mic, or connect high output level devices such as keyboards or audio
equipment and record them.
Use stereo mini-plugs if you're connecting balanced devices to the input jacks, or monaural
mini-plugs if you're connecting unbalanced devices.

Recording using the mic inputs
Set the input switch to MIC. If the level is too low even after you've adjusted the gain (→p.16),
you may need to use a mic preamp (sold separately).
Using the included mic (CM-2M)
Connect the white-banded mic plug
to the L input jack, and the black-
banded mic plug to the R input jack.
You may use the included clip stand
as needed. Since the included mic is
plug-in power compatible, turn on
