MR-8mkII Owner’s Manual (Track bouncing)
You can bounce tracks 1 through 6 to tracks 7/8.
As described earlier in "Bouncing tracks 1 through 4 to tracks 5/6", you can rehearse track
bouncing as many times as you like before executing actual track bouncing.
Before executing track bouncing, you can rehearse it. While rehearsing track bouncing, you can
control the playback level, panning and reverb (or delay) send setting of each source track, as
well as apply the mastering effect to the mixed L/R signals. We recommend to make rehearsal
thoroughly until you are satisfied with the sound.
The following assumes that the song you are going to execute track bouncing is loaded.
Rehearsal of track bouncing
1) Use the [1-4 > 5/6, 1-6 > 7/8] key to select the
"1-6 > 7/8" bounce mode.
Selecting this bounce mode automatically arms
tracks 7/8 and changes the monitoring mode
for these tracks to input monitoring mode.
The display looks like this:

2) Raise the [5/6] fader and [MASTER] fader to the
"
" position. Set all the other track faders
down to the minimum position.

3) Press the [PLAY] key to start playback from the
beginning of the song.
4) While playing back the song, adjust playback levels
of tracks 1 through 6 using the track faders.
You can also adjust panning for tracks 1
through 4 and apply the reverb or delay to
these tracks, as well as apply the mastering
effect to the mixed sound.
During rehearsal and actual track bouncing,
the track faders and [MASTER] fader control
the following signals.
