Overview 

Thank you for purchasing the

 ZOOM MRS 802 multitrack recording studio

 (subsequently referred to as "

the MRS 802

"). The 

MRS 802 is a digital audio workstation with the following features: 

I Brings together all the functionality you need for complete music 

production 

The MRS 802 provides all the functionality you need for professional music production: hard disk 

recorder, drum machine, digital mixer, effects, CD R/RW drive and more. From creating the rhythm 

tracks to multitrack recording, mixdown, and burning an audio CD, the MRS 802 lets you do it all. 

I 8 track x 10 take recorder 

The recorder section provides eight mono tracks and a stereo master track for mixdown. Because each 

track has ten virtual tracks (V takes), you can record multiple takes for important parts such as vocals 

or guitar solos and select the best take later. 

A full range of editing functions is also provided, allowing you to copy or move audio data. Special 

functions include reversing of data and time stretch/compression. Data exchange and copy between 

regular tracks and the master track is also possible. 

I Bounce function allows ping pong recording of eight tracks 

simultaneously 

The bounce function makes it easy to consolidate multiple tracks into one or two tracks with just a few 

keystrokes. Even when there are no vacant tracks available, you can add the rhythm section parts and 

bounce the result onto two V takes. If you select the master track as bounce target, internal mixdown is 

possible without using up any of the regular tracks or V takes. 

I Phrase loop function for pasting audio material 

Using recorded audio data or audio files picked up from a CD ROM disc, you can create "phrase 

loops" for example drum licks and guitar riffs. The playback sequence and repetition count of phrases 

can be programmed easily and written to any track or V take as audio data. 

I Rhythm section can be used to provide guide rhythm or accompaniment 

The rhythm section provides more than 400 types of accompaniment patterns using the internal drum 

sound generator. This can be used as independent guide rhythm or in synchronization with the 

recorder. You can also program a pattern playback sequence to create the rhythm accompaniment for 

an entire song. In addition to conventional step input, the MRS 802 features an innovative concept 

called FAST input developed by ZOOM which lets you quickly build songs with simple steps.
