MR16
Owner’s Manual (Read this chapter first!)
• Audio CD burning capability
If your MR16 does not have an internal CD-R/RW drive, you can burn an audio CD
(CD-DA) from song data (stored in the 2 MIX folder) by connecting an external
CD-R/RW drive to the [USB HOST] port of the unit.
If your MR16 has the internal CD-R/RW drive, you can burn an audio CD (CD-DA)
from song data using the internal CD-R/RW drive. See the "Using the CD-R/RW
drive" supplement for details.
• Capability of exporting/importing a WAV file
(CD-R/RW drive built-in model only)
If your MR16 has the internal CD-R/RW drive, you can convert song data on the
internal hard disk to a mono WAV file and export (copy) to a CD-R/RW disc set on
the CD-R/RW drive, or import (copy) a WAV file from a CD-R/RW disc set on the
CD-R/RW drive to the internal hard disk. In addition, you can import track data on
a CD-DA disc (including a commercially available audio CD). See the "Using the
CD-R/RW drive" supplement for details.
• Capability of digital copy to an external digital device
The MR16 provides the [DIGITAL OUT] port (Toslink optical) which outputs S/P DIF
digital signals. By connecting an external DAT or MD to this port, you can copy song
data digitally (see page 43 for details).
• Synchronization to MIDI
The MR16 provides the [MIDI OUT] port (DIN 5-pin). You can synchronize the MR16
with external MIDI devices (MIDI sequencer, etc.) using MTC or MIDI clock fed from
the MR16 (see page 99 for details).
• Rhythm guide function for recording
The MR16 provides the rhythm guide function which is useful for recording.
You can hear the rhythm guide sound according to the signature/tempo or the
conductor map you set (see page 89 for details).
• Phantom power supply
You can supply the phantom power to the balanced XLR connector on Input A through
Input D, allowing direct connection of a condenser microphone. You can select on
or off of the phantom power (see page 144 for details).
• "2 MIX" file playback mode
The MR16 can play back a stereo WAV file which is necessary for creating an audio
CD, as well as can set CUE points for dividing into tracks. See the "Using the
CD-R/RW drive" supplement for details.
• TO STEREO BUSS function
During mixdown or track bouncing, you can add signals from Inputs A through D to
the mixed track signals.
• Two pairs of AUX OUT jacks
The MR16 provides two pairs of AUX OUT jacks for applying an external effect to the
selected track(s) or sending out the rhythm guide signal, allowing the MR16 to be
used in various situations. See page 149 for details.
