1.1 Creating a new project
On the MRS-8, song data are managed in units called
"projects". A project comprises recorded audio data as
well as various rhythm and effect settings. By loading a
project, the same condition as when the song was last
saved can be recreated.
To start recording with the MRS-8, you must first create
a project.

Connect the instrument to record and the
monitor system to the MRS-8 ( → p. 12).
2.
Insert the SD card to use for recording
( → p. 13).
3.
Turn power on in the order MRS-8 →

When the MRS-8 starts up, the last handled project is
automatically loaded.
