MR/ZR GETTING STARTED GUIDE 

Sequencing and Scoop editing

 

Your next thought might be, “wow I got so many great sounds. How do I begin 
sequencing?" Just in case you don’t know, sequencing, simply put, is a recording of your 
performance on the instrument. The 16 Track recorder remembers the notes you play, 
and plays the notes back for you. The cool part is that if you want to edit or change 
anything you played, it can be done. There are features to do this such as Scoop editing 
and quantizing. We will talk about quantizing in a moment. First, let’s sequence! 

 

Sequencing 

 

Select Track 1 
Press Enter 
Select a sound and press Enter 
Press and hold the Record button  
Press Play and release both buttons 
There will be a 1 measure (4 counts if you are in 4/4 time) intro 
Start Playing, Press Stop when finished recording 
 

To record yourself playing along with the first track

Press the Track 2 button  

(The screen will display the Selected track number in the upper left of the screen, TK01, 
TK02 etc.) 

Repeat the above steps 

 
“What if I played a note that I do not like? Can I erase it?” 
Yes! There are TWO ways to get rid of a single note after it has been recorded. You can 

Scoop

 the note out of the recording. 

 

Scoop Editing 

 

Option 1> 
Press and hold Record 
Play the key that you want to erase

*Play the key and hold it. As long as you hold the key down, it is erasing the note from the 
sequence.
