INCLUDES FREE SHIPPING, SUPPORT & 60-DAY FREE RETURN / REPAIR / EXCHANGE!!** A massive upgrade from their original MRS-1044, Zoom's MRS-1608 is a 16-track digital multitracker offering a wealth of features! Released in 2005, the MRS-1608 retailed for a whopping $2,549, making it one of the premium workstations of the day!The MRS-1608 is a direct descendant of the Zoom's MRS-1266 and can exchange audio track data and rhythm data with both previous models. It boasts a Rhythm section providing a stereo drum machine and bass synth, both of which can be sequenced and played together with recorded audio. There is also a Phrase Loop facility for building tracks from samples and a Pad Sampler which can be used to build custom drum kits. The effects section has, among other things, amp modelling and a tuner, so guitarists/bassists can simply plug in and play. There is also a built-in CD-RW drive, plus all the other basic digital I/O and editing features you'd expect to find on a digital multitracker.

Condition:This beautiful mixer is in "Very Good" condition with minor signs of use and a bright, crisp display! With a nice, clean control panel, the only thing worth mentioning is a few light scuffs to the cabinet, most too faint to make out well in the pics. All the original knobs and feet are present & complete and all LED indicators are crisp & clear. The original Zoom power supply and Owner's Manual are also in excellent condition! A set of bonus MIDI & RCA to 1/4" Audio Cables are also included! Please do inspect all the pictures thoroughly for actual condition. Service: There were no issues found with this workstation, but these decks do have a common issue with the CD drive not opening consistently. This is why, even if working, we always service the CD Drive. Not just cleaning the optics, but also lubricating the transport and installing a new belt. Also, all faders are treated with DeoxIT F5, specifically designed to both clean & lubricate fader controls. It's this kind of thoughtful, preventative servicing that makes it smart to buy from a company with an experienced, in-house technician!Testing:This mixer was set up on our test bench and all switches, functions and LED indicators work correctly, with all inputs and outputs confirmed as operational. The CD player was also tested with several discs and exhibited no skipping at all. More testing was done, there are a multitude of features on this unit, so we can't test them all. If there is a particular function you would like to know more about just let us know before buying. What a great find on a beautiful piece of professional equipment!**FREE SUPPORT MUST BE UTILIZED BEFORE RETURN IS REQUESTED!Manufacture Product Information:(sample photos) Zoom MRS-1608 MultiTrack Mixer/Digital Recording Studio (2005) Features:Recorder16 physical tracks x 10 V-takes = 160 virtual tracksComes standard with a 40GB hard drive. This translates into 120 hours of high-quality recording.Simultaneous live recording on eight tracksBOUNCE key for instant mixdownMarker function, A-B repeat, punch-in recordingContinuous project playback -- The master tracks of several projects can be played back in succession. This function--called sequence play--is handy to preview an album that you want to burn onto a CD, or to provide automated accompaniment during a live performance.Track Edit10 types of track edit functionsCOPY Copy & paste. Easily repeat the contents of a phrase.MOVE Assemble the best takes from various sources onto a single track.ERASE Mute any specified range, for example to eliminate noise or clean up mistakes.TRIM Remove unwanted portions before and after a stretch of recorded data, to keep only the parts that matter.FADE I/O Select from three curves for fade-in and fade-out, and specify the time for the fade interval.REVERSE Get wild and wonderful sound by reversing audio data.TIME STRECH Change the tempo without altering the pitch. Great for tweaking the master data before burning a CD.PITCH FIX Match the pitch of vocal passages or provide pitch correct effect.HARMONY GENERATE Create a 3-part harmony from the vocal track that matches the programmed chord.DUO HARMONY Add a third up or down harmony component to the melody.Scrub / preview function to find exactly the right spotInternal 24-bit processing and mixing automation support -- The digital mixer handles a total of 27 channels: 19 playback tracks including internal drum and bass, plus 8 input channels. Parameters such as volume, panning, EQ, phase, and effect send level can be adjusted individually for each track. The convenient "scene" function saves up to 100 different setups, for instant recall of all parameters. By assigning a scene to a marker point of the recorder, it is even possible to change the mixing balance or effect settings automatically as the song progresses. A solo function that lets you monitor a single track also comes in handy.Digital Mixer3-band parametric equalizerSeparate SUB-OUT parameter settings for a different mixRhythm Machine50 drum kits and 13 bass sources -- By freely combining 36 sound sources, you can also create your own drum kits while using the 12 mixing faders as drum mixer controls.475 preset drum patterns ready to goTruly "FAST" rhythm programming -- FAST (Formula Assisted Song Translator) is an innovative programming method developed by ZOOM that lets you build rhythm patterns using simple calculator-like symbols. With the drum pads serving as a numeric keypad, you can quickly enter a drum program for an entire song. For example, to play pattern number 010 eight times and then pattern number 020 sixteen times, you enter 10 x 8 + 20 x 16. After a song has been written with FAST, you can edit patterns and change event information in the same way as with a regular song.High-performance sequencer also incorporates SMF player (Standard MIDI Files) -- The built-in rhythm sequencer can operate in sync with the recorder section, letting you create rhythm accompaniment and audio tracks in an interactive environment. If you import existing SMF (Standard MIDI Files), you can control the built-in rhythm sound sources or external multi-timbre sound sources connected via the MIDI link.Phrase LoopBy freely combining parts of an audio track or WAV/AIFF file phrases imported from a sampling CD-ROM, you can create a loop track. Program the phrase sequence for an entire song using FAST, and then write the result to any track as audio data. Or go a step further and create multiple loop tracks with drums, bass, rhythm guitar and other instruments played by professional musicians.Pad SamplerThe pads on the MRS-1608 can also be used to play parts of V-takes or WAV/AIFF files. Add samples and sound effects to a song, and play them in the drum track sequence. Up to 1000 samples can be stored in a "sample pool" on the internal hard disk. A project can contain up to 10 sampler programs, each using 36 samples (total playing time 22 seconds).EffectsInsert effect -- Nine types of effect algorithms optimized for various input sources, such as guitar / bass, synthesizer, vocals, and mic recording of acoustic instruments are built into the MRS-1608. The algorithms are configured using six effect modules with 103 effect types.8-channel COMP EQ for dynamic multi-miking -- The 8-channel COMP EQ algorithm applies compression and equalization to eight input channels, with individual settings for each.BPM sync effectsSend / Return effect -- Two types of send / return effect (chorus / delay and reverb) can be used simultaneously.Mastering effect -- When you are creating the final mix, you have access to quality effects such as the high-performance equalizer and the multi-band compressor with individual parameters for each band.CD BurnerCD-R/RW drive for creating audio CDs and backing up dataDisc-at-once for efficient CD writingInterfaceXLR input with phantom power supply and digital output -- Up to eight mics can be plugged in at once. Four channels are equipped with a +48V phantom power supply. Hi-Z jacks for guitar/bass and RCA type jacks are also available. An optical S/P DIF output lets you send a digital signal to a DAT or MD master recorder.Synchronization with MTC and MIDI clockUSB 2.0 support ensures high-speed data transfer -- The optional USB interface board UIB-02 lets you connect the MRS-1608 to a computer (Windows or Mac) equipped with a USB port.
