RHYTHM
The MR-8mkII provides the metronome function which can output the rhythm guide click dur-
ing recording. You can easily output the guide click from the [STEREO OUT] jacks by pressing the
[RHYTHM GUIDE] key on the top panel. Two types of the rhythm guide are available: one has the
constant time signature/tempo throughout a song, while the other has the programmed time
signature/tempo map.
Setting the time signature and tempo
To output the rhythm guide click,
turn on the [RHYTHM GUIDE]
key. By default, the guide click
is output at time signature=4/4,
tempo=120.
You can output the rhythm guide
click according to the desired
constant time signature and
tempo, as well as the pro-
grammed rhythm guide click
based on the conductor map.
You can set the default rhythm guide (time signature: 4/4, tempo: 120), output level, etc. using
the "Rhythm Guide" menu in the menu mode.
2) Rotate the JOG dial to select "Rhythm Guide",
and press the [MENU/ENTER] key.
The display now shows the screen for setting
the rhythm guide, where "<< Back" is
highlighted.
1) While the recorder is stopped, press the
[MENU/ENTER] key to enter the menu mode.
The display now shows the first page of the
menu selection screen, where "<< Back" is
highlighted initially (selecting "<< Back"
returns to the previous screen).
<Tip>: While the home screen is shown and
the recorder is stopped, long press of the
[RHYTHM GUIDE] key directly brings up the
screen for setting the rhythm guide.
When recording starts, the MR-8mkII simultaneously starts feeding the rhythm guide
click from the [STEREO OUT (L, R)] jacks at the selected level (the default is 80). Note
that the rhythm guide click is not output during track bouncing. The output level of
the rhythm guide click is shown on the L and R level meters.
Note that you can monitor the rhythm guide click via headphones or (a) monitor
speaker(s). You cannot record the rhythm guide click to any MR-8mkII track(s). If you
do not want to output the rhythm guide click, turn off the [RHYTHM GUIDE] key.
