The ultimate all-in-one studio |
|
| |
|
It's like having a professional recording
studio on your desk. The MRS-1266 has ten independent tracks plus a stereo
Master channel. It has a full-function mixer section, programmable drum and
bass machines, a huge array of effects and an optional CD burner for final
cuts. When inspiration strikes, you have all the tools you need to record,
edit, mix and master your compositions. With 44.1 kHz sampling, 16-bit linear
un-compressed data, 24-bit A/D D/A conversion and 24-bit processing, you
are building songs on a professional level digital foundation.
|
|
| |
10 physical tracks x 10 V-takes = 100 tracks |
|
| |
|
Not even the pros
get every track right the first time. With 10 Virtual "V-Takes"
per channel, you get 10 chances per track to get it right. Select the best
take from several sessions, choose a favorite set of effect and rhythm variations,
and combine them for a final mix. With a 20 GB hard drive, you can record
up to 60 hours of music, up to 1,000 songs or "projects," use all
your V-Takes and still have memory left over. |
|
| |
6-track simultaneous recording |
|
| |
|
For live recording,
the MRS-1266 offers all-new flexibility. With 6 channel simultaneous input
capability you can mic a rehearsal or performance with up to six microphones.
Using virtual tracks, you can record 10 takes with a guide rhythm, and then
pick the best take for each instrument for the final mix. Vocal groups can
be evaluated objectively when they record on separate tracks. Elaborate drum
and percussion recordings can be made. Record drums like the studio pros using
six microphones, and mix them down to a stereo drum track. |
|
| |
Track edit |
|
| |
|
Mess up a guitar
solo? Flub the lyrics? No problem. Simply use the punch in/out to fix your
mistakes. Specify precise start and end points using the Scrub and Preview
functions, practice the lead using the rehearsal function, then hit record.
You can compare your takes before and after, using the Capture and Swap function.
If you are running out of tracks, "Bounce" everything to one empty
track. Because it's digital audio, you won't lose any sound quality. Combine
usable portions of a different takes, Copy/ Erase/ Exchange whole tracks,
and Copy/ Move/ Erase/ Reverse just a specified part of track. |
|
| |
Phrase loop |
|
| |
|
With the optional
CD-R/RW drive, you can import sample phrases from pre-recorded drum beat or
sound sample CD-ROMs. Store up to 100 phrases per project. Cut and paste to
create loops. Specify the start point, number of measures, end point and sound
level, and you can modify the length of a phrase without changing the pitch.
Thanks to Zoom's various editing features, you can drop loops in and out of
songs quickly and easily. |

Built-in CD-R/RW drive |
|
| |
|
The MRS-1266 CD comes equipped with a reliable, high performance CD-R/RW drive. Master and burn your own CD, or backup and restore project data. If you want to backup your entire internal hard drive, multiple disc saves can be accomplished. The CD-R/RW also allows you to import WAV/AIFF data from sample collection CDs or import audio from standard music CDs. A standard CD player function is also built-in. The 1266 is also available without the drive, and the CD-02 CD-R/RW drive is available as an optional accessory. |

13 track playback |
|
| |
|
Up to 13 tracks can be played
back simultaneously, including 10 audio tracks, stereo drums, and a mono bass
track. Track 1-8 has independent faders, track 9-10 are linked to one stereo
fader. Two more faders are dedicated to drum and bass. Track parameters such
as EQ and effect send level can be adjusted for stereo linked odd and even
tracks, which correspond to a stereo source such as an external synthesizer.
|
|
|
| |
Track parameters |
|
| |
|
Each track has parameters including a
two band (variable frequency) EQ, a Chorus/Delay send level, Reverb send
level, and L/R Pan controls. Pressing the solo switch will mute all other
tracks except the specified one track.
|
|
| |
Transport |
|
| |
|
You can put up
to 100 locate markers in a song or "project." The Scrub/Preview
function is a tool for locating a precise mark point on a track. The A-B repeat
lets you repeat a desired section of a project easily, for rehearsing that
tricky Punch In/Out. |
|
| |
Scene memory |
|
| |
|
Automation used to be a tool found only
in high-end studios. Not anymore. Save your fader positions, effects patches,
send-return effects and key status as a "Scene". Up to 100 scene
settings can be stored for one project. Call them up anytime to compare and
contrast. Or assign different scenes to different location markers in your
project. The MRS-1266 will automatically switch levels and effects within
your song during playback or mix-down.
|
|
|
| |
Insert effects |
|
| |
|
The MRS-1266 comes
with an awesome array of built-in effects. They are sub-divided into five
major categories, or "algorithms": Guitar/bass, Microphone, Line,
Dual input(i.e. guitar and vocal mic) and Mastering. Each algorithm is built
from four major effect modules (compressor, pre-amp/drive, equalizer and modulation/delay).
94 different effects are selectable beyond that. Six effect types can be used
simultaneously, and saved as effect "patches". Up to 280 patches
can be stored for each project. You can insert your effects at different points
in the signal path: at instrument level, track level or master track level.
This gives you the option to record 'dry' and adjust the effect type and depth
after recording. By using dual algorithms, you can simultaneously insert different
effects on instrument combinations such as guitar + mic, mic + mic, or guitar
+ bass. |
|
 |
| |
Send / Return effects |
|
| |
|
Send/Return
allows you add an effect to all your tracks. All the effect algorithms, plus
30 pre-set effect patches are included so that any kind of hall, room, or
studio sound can be simulated. |
|
| |
Mastering effects |
|
| |
|
Mastering
is the key to making a professional-sounding recording. By using the MRS-1266's
mastering effects, such as a 3-band Compressor, 3-band EQ, a Normalizer, Dimension,
Lo-Fi, and Resonance, you can add flavor and sound pressure to a master track
that has been mixed down to stereo. These effects can also be routed as insert
effects on each track. |
|
| |
VAMS |
|
| |
|
(Variable Architecture Modeling System)refers
to ZOOM's amplifier modeling system. It accurately simulates the sound of
classic amplifiers and cabinets. This hybrid analog / digital processing allows
you to plug in a guitar, bass or any other instrument direct, and get a rich,
accurate amp tone without having to mic a real cabinet. |
|
| |
Auto Chromatic Tuner |
|
| |
|
A riff that is
out-of-tune can't be fixed later--no matter how hard you try. The MRS-1266
has a built-in bypass line tuner that quickly and easily tunes you up. |
|
|
| |
Create rhythm and audio tracks interactively |
|
| |
|
It's tough to lay down
a final drum track before you work out your melodies. With the MRS-1266,
you create a temporary rhythm guide by choosing from the library of 400 factory
preset patterns, and setting the tempo. Then specify a bass chord progression,
and start recording your ideas. Once you have nailed a few tracks, you can
fine-tune the rhythm tracks. Also, by importing SMF (Standard Midi File),
you can use a variety of existing rhythm patterns.
|
|
|
| |
Zoom's exclusive "FAST" rhythm programming |
|
| |
|
(Formula Assisted Song Translator)is
a brand-new programming method for building rhythm patterns and structuring
your songs. Pattern information can be entered like an algebraic equation.
After assigning numbers to different rhythm patterns, you simply input an
equation. For example, "1+ ( 2 x 8 + 3 x 8 + 4 x 8 + 5 x 8 ) x 3 + 6,"
is a song that starts with an introduction ( 1 ) , repeats the song pattern
( 2 x 8 + 3 x 8 + 4 x 8 + 5 x 8 ) three times, and finishes with an ending
pattern ( 6 ) . Once you have built a song using FAST, it is simple to add
or remove sections, cut, insert, change tempo information, and otherwise edit
the rhythm portion of your composition. |
|
| |
12-key touch sensitive pad bank |
|
| |
|
Up to 10 songs
-drum and bass patterns- can be stored in one project, and different rhythm
arrangements can be assigned to each of the 10 V-Takes. You can choose step
or real-time recording for creating original patterns; up to 20,000 steps/events
can be recorded. With either method, the 12 key (full chromatic scale) pad
bank makes recording drum or bass patterns easy. And with variable sensitivity,
your playing sounds even more real. |
|
| |
The best electronic drum & bass sounds anywhere |
|
| |
|
Zoom
has been making drum machines for years, and they are well known for having
the best electronic drum sounds in the business. 127 drum sounds have been
recorded as 16-bit linear PCM, 30 polyphonic. 26 varieties of ultra-real bass
guitar sounds are also provided. |
|
| |
Build your own drum kits |
|
| |
|
There
are 50 factory preset drum kits built-in to the MRS-1266, each with a distinctly
different sound. Each drum kit is made up of 36 different drum sounds. You
can also built custom kits using the faders as a drum kit sub mixer, and even
add effects like EQ, reverb and chorus to individual drums. These kits can
be saved and modified as you wish. |
|
|
| |
Comfortable logical operation |
|
| |
|
The MRS-1266 was
designed with ergonomics in mind. All the functions and buttons are logically
positioned. Level meters and tracking info is displayed on dedicated back-lit
displays. The inputs and outputs you use the most-guitar/bass, headphone,
sub-out, expression pedal, and foot switch--are all located on the front of
the chassis. |
|
| |
Wide array of inputs and outputs |
|
| |
|
The MRS-1266 has
two balanced XLR terminals for low-noise mic input. Six 1/4 jacks are included
for mic or line input. XLR Phantom power allows you to use high quality condenser
mics. In addition to stereo RCA PIN jacks, an S/P DIF optical digital output
is available, so that digital data can be transferred directly to DAT or Mini-Disk
recorder. Any number of tracks can be assigned to the front panel sub-out
for a separate monitor mix, or you can use the sub out for a second pair of
headphones. |
|
| |
Expandability |
|
| |
|
The MRS-1266 is
fully MIDI compatible. With MIDI IN/OUT you can use external MIDI devices
to program the 1266's drum and bass patterns, or use MIDI out to control external
devices. By installing an optional USB interface, you can access all the data
on the hard drive from Windows or Macintosh computers. Data back-up and data
file storage, as well as data exchanges with DAW software, can be performed
smoothly. |
