I would like to record outdoor & indoor concerts, and ambient nature.  My concerns are the ability to burn cd's that showcase the recording capability of the MR1, and the short battery life.  I have been leaning toward the Sony PCM-D50, but am drawn to the ability to make 1-bit recordings.  Does anyone have both machines?  If so, which do you prefer and why?  Thanks for your guidance.

I've had chance to try both machines and would suggest the D50 as most compatible for your interests with easy powering, lower noise/more conventional minijack mic input, and immunity to physical movements that cause skips in MR-1. 

Most all the recording quality is with your choice and usage of external mics, not much if anything is audibly superior with 1-bit recording ability, and 1-bit format has to be converted to normal PCM anyway.  At least, this is my opinion at this time.

Thanks guysonic,  I was also looking at the DS 702 but figured for what I want to do something a bit smaller is better, and the 702 is a bit costly.  Yet, I am always wanting the best sound quality so who knows...

Ok here's the scoop, I still have not made it to an authorized repair shop to have my MR-1 fixed.

So I will be going to Langerado next week and the unit is functional except for the LCD, and I want to bring it as backup. What I need is an accurate flowchart on the menu structure. I remember some sightless member asking about the way the menu was layed out and whether it wrapped around, luckily it does not and I have been able to do some things, But what I would like to be able to do is set the record mode without hunting around for right settings. The manual does not provide a good detailed flowchart especially in this section. TIA

Hi guys,
Can someone say something about the boot time of the KORG MR 1? This is very important for me and if this behaves like the M-Audio microtrack, a absolutely no go for me.
Thanks in advance

Cheers

Takes about 5 seconds to go from off to record-ready.

Not great.  For anything over 1 1/2 hours I'd use external power.

I'm really happy with Mr. MR-1. You can make excellent recordings, it's small, flexible in terms of recording formats and I never had a single problem. The battery issue is not a big problem if you add an external one to your rig.

Has anyone tried sticking a solid state drive in one of these yet?  That should improve the run time on the stock battery and reduce heat quite a bit.  I remember some talk of doing that last year.
