Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the Fostex MR-8mkII digital multitracker. The MR-8mkII is a digital multitracker which records and plays back audio on a CompactFlashTM Card. You can record audio at 44.1 kHz/16 bits (in the normal mode) or 22.05 kHz/16 bits (in the LP mode). Up to two tracks can be recorded simultaneously. The MR-8mkII is also equipped with an 8-channel digital mixer, digital effects including the delay/reverb, mastering effects and insert effects (simulation effects). It allows you to carry out all the process for digital multitrack recording including overdubbing, track bouncing and mixdown within the digital domain, ensuring no loss of sound quality. Read this manual thoroughly for using all functions the MR-8mkII provides correctly.
MR-8mkII main features
· You can record high quality audio to the built-in high performance CompactFlashTM Card. You can also edit recorded audio later without sound deterioration. Up to 99 songs can be recorded. · Provides two analog input channels and up to two tracks can be recorded simultaneously. · You can bounce all eight tracks to a new song, which is automatically created in the bouncing process. · An ASP digital effect processor (delay/ reverb) with the algorithm newly developed by Fostex is built in, allowing effect processing to tracks 1 through 4 during track bouncing. In addition, the MR-8mkII also provides insert effects for microphone and amplifier simulation for coloring sounds. · The dedicated mastering effects are built in for the stereo buss, allowing you to process sounds during track bouncing or final mixdown. · The adoption of self-illuminated keys allows intuitive operation. · User-friendly LCD screen configuration allows you to make recording intuitively. · Phantom power is built in, allowing direct connection of condenser microphones. · The rhythm guide function is provided. You can make global time signature/tempo setting for a simple song or create a conductor map for a more complicate song, and output the guide click. · Song data (on mono WAV files on tracks 7 and 8) mastered by the MR-8mkII can be converted to a stereo WAV file easily. You can export the converted file to a personal computer and create an audio CD using the CD burn function of the PC. You can also create an audio CD using an external CD-R/RW drive connected via the [USB HOST] port of the MR-8mkII.
: Song data recorded in the
LP mode cannot be burned to a CD-R/RW disc in the audio CD (CD-DA format) using an external CD-R/RW drive.
· The whole or a part of track data can be edited (i.e. copied, pasted, moved, exported, exchanged and erased). · The [MIDI OUT] port is provided. You can synchronize the MR-8mkII with external MIDI devices (MIDI sequencer, etc.) using MTC or MIDI clock. · A large 132 x 64 dot graphic LCD display allows you to check the recorder status and various settings easily. · Built-in compact and high quality microphone allows you to record microphone sound without an external microphone. · Two ways of receiving power. You can drive the MR-8mkII by batteries (AA-type) or from the supplied AC adaptor (AD-12A).

MR-8mkII Owner's Manual (Read this chapter first!)
Precautions before using
About power supply
· The MR-8mkII runs on the supplied AC adaptor (Model AD-12A) or batteries (six AA batteries). When running on the AC adaptor, Be sure to connect the MR-8mkII to the power supply specified in the Specifications section of this owner's manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage. When running on batteries, use alkaline batteries. Do not use manganese batteries. · Do not connect the MR-8mkII to the same AC outlet to which devices that could generate noise (such as a large motor or dimmer), or the devices that consume a large amount of power (such as an air conditioning system or large electric heater) are connected. · If you use the MR-8mkII in an area with a different power voltage, first consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station. · You do not use the MR-8mkII for a long time, we recommend unplugging the AC adaptor from the AC outlet. · It is very dangerous to use a power cord of the AC adaptor that is frayed or damage. In such a case, stop using the MR-8mkII immediately and ask your dealer to repair the cord.
Notes on repair
· The MR-8mkII does not use any parts that user can repair easily. Contact your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station to ask about repairs. · Use the original packing carton of the MR-8mkII when you transport or send the MR-8mkII to the dealer or Fostex service station for repair. If you have discarded the packing carton, pack the MR-8mkII using shock absorbing materials. Fostex is not responsible for malfunction or damage due to incomplete packaging or caused during transportation. · Because the MR-8mkII is a consumer product, Fostex does not offer on-site service or provide a loaner unit while your MR-8mkII is under repair.
About copyrights
· It is prohibited by law to use any part of a CD recording or video images or audio data for which copyright is possessed by a third party for commercial purposes such as contents, broadcasts, sales, or distribution-any purpose other than for your personal pleasure.

About damages
· Fostex is not responsible for any "direct damage" or "indirect damage" caused by using the MR-8mkII.
Notes on audio interruption
· If you make recording or editing to a song many times, audio may be occasionally interrupted when the song is played back, due to data fragmentation. Note that this is not a malfunction.
Precautions upon installing the MR-8mkII
· Do not install the MR-8mkII in locations subject to the following: * Extremely high or low temperature, or significant changes in temperature. * Excessive humidity or dust. * Excessive changes in power supply voltage. * Unstable or significantly vibrating or shaking surfaces. * Near a strong magnetic field (such as a TV or speaker).
Note on USB connection with Mac OS
· Before you connect the MR-8mkII to a Macintosh computer, make sure that the OS is Mac OS X or higher. The MR-8mkII supports only Mac OS X or higher. If you connect the MR-8mkII to a Macintosh computer with Mac OS lower than "OS X", song data on the MR-8mkII may be damaged.

About song
To understand songs, imagine separated rooms as shown below. Each room can be regarded as a song. With the MR-8mkII, you can create up to 99 rooms (songs) on the CompactFlashTM Card (although the available space may limit the number of songs).
Song01
Song05
Song02
Recorded track data is stored in a song as mono WAV files, as shown below.
Song03
Song98

Song01
WAV files
Song99
Song04
Each song is independent on a CompactFlashTM Card and you can record, play back or edit a song without affecting other songs. You can give a desired song name for managing recorded songs (see pages 23 and 91). Recorded track data is stored in a song as mono WAV files. The MR-8mkII can convert the two WAV files recorded on tracks 7 and 8 (L and R) to a stereo WAV file (see page 115). You can export the converted stereo WAV file to your USB-connected personal computer, and use the file by a music software application or make an original audio CD on the computer using a CD burn software application. You can also burn an audio CD by using an external CD-R/RW drive connected via the [USB HOST] port of the MR-8mkII (see page 115 and 123).
Remain (recordable space left on the CompactFlashTM Card)
"Remain" shows how much time you can further record audio data to the available space left on the CompactFlashTM Card. As described earlier, the MR-8mkII stripes ABS time from 0m 00s 000ms to 99m 59s 999ms at maximum for each song. However, the remaining time (= available recording time left) depends on the available space on the CompactFlashTM Card in actual use. The remaining time is shown as in the screen example below during recording or record standby. Note that it shows the remaining time for recording onto a mono track.
Remain value
A "mono" track means a single track. Therefore, you can calculate the remaining time for recording to more than one track by dividing the displayed time by the number of tracks. Note that the remaining time shown on the screen is an approximate time.
13
MR-8mkII Owner's Manual (Read this chapter first!)
Time base
The term, "time base", is used as the reference of recorder position information. Using the [TIME BASE SELECT] key, you can select from among two time base modes: ABS time and bar/beat mode. Each screen example below shows the recorder is located at the beginning of a song in each time base mode.
