Hard disk recorder, drum and bass machine, sampler, digital mixer, multi-effects, CD-R/RW drive--you name it, the MRS1608 has got it. Everything you need to create incredible sounding recordings is right here, in a user-friendly and accessible package.
The MRS-1608 is a 16 track digital audio workstation that records to a 40 GB internal hard drive, and features the power of seamless digital editing and Zoom's famous signal processing, while still being the only digital multi-track recorder on the market with programmable drum and bass sections with a complete bank of touch-sensitive pads.
The 1608 has 16 physical tracks, each with 10 virtual tracks. The new machine also has 8 XLR/phone combination input jacks, with four of them being able to provide phantom power for condenser microphones, with the capability of recording up to eight simultaneous tracks at once, that's two tracks more then the latest 1266, as well as having the ability to insert compression and EQ on all eight of those input channels
Like all Zoom multi-tracks you get the drum and bass sections with 12 touch sensitive and backlighted playable pads. The 1608 now includes a sampler function that allows you to assign part of V-takes or WAV/AIFF flies to those drum pads. With over 100 different drum and bass sounds, the 1608 has 40 real sampled drum kits as well as 20 real sampled bass sounds, giving you real drum and bass recordings that you can program into your project, with 500 user programmable patterns available per song
Like the other MRS Series recorders, the 1608 has literally hundreds of customizable digital effects for mics and instruments, as well as Zoom's VAMS' (Variable Architecture Modeling System) guitar amp modeling. With the 1608 you are now able to use up to seven simultaneous effects to give your tracks that professionally polished sound
The 1608 has adjustable EQ and pan controls for each channel, as well as a complete array of adjustable 24-bit mastering effects such as Reverb, Chorus, Modulation, Delay and Compression
