Using the reverb or delay
The MR-8 incorporates the original reverb/de-
lay effects featuring the newly-developed algo-
rithm. You can apply the reverb or delay to play-
back signals of tracks 1 through 4 during
mixdown and track bounce.
Selecting an effect type
You can select an effect type from among three
reverb options (ROOM, HALL and PLATE) and a
delay (DELAY) by using the [EFFECT] keys shown
below. The selected key is lit.
