Can you link two of these for four track recording? I wonder if there would be drift if not linked.

does the mr-1000 have digital inputs?

i see mytek is now now offering DSD firmware on some of their units ( http://www.mytekdigital.com/dsd/index.htm ). theoretically, one DSD converter should 'sound' like the next, correct?

No.  What we know of as 'digital in/out' is PCM.  The Korg's are DSD.

Dear Jerry...

can we expect a 8 channel rackmount recorder with DSD digital interface in the near future?

I assume Grace or Sound Devices could offer a new A/D board with DSD support.. Just a question of customer demand.

No.  What we know of as 'digital in/out' is PCM.  The Korg's are DSD.

while this is true...there are DSD transports and DSD DACs out there that run proprietary digital cables.
Sony XAC9100 > STR-DA7100 for example.  thats the cheapest way to do it.  (at around $5k new...I think?) the next up are dCS and Meitner, but you're into the 10-20k range for a new rig there.
and then i'm sure there are digital consoles that can take a DSD signal from some outboard DSD ADC.
ohhhh, how I wish there was a way to play DSD "on the cheap".
I've even contemplated snagging one of them tascam rack mount jobies w/a fat HDD in it and using it solely for a jukebox.

I brought up this thread on rec.audio.pro, asking for the best way to listen to DSD masters.  the million responses I got were useless. "convert it to redbook stupid, you can't tell the difference anyway"..was the most common (and polite) response I received.
LMA recordings and what-not


Live music: hauling around a Marshall stack whose output will get squeezed through a single SM57, then mangled by a Guinness-soaked mixer and shoved through suspicious-smelling power amps into a pair of grungy cabinets whose best days were before they left the factory, all of which are under the control of an engineer who would much rather be at home watching television.

Well I am a sucker, I ordered my MR-1000 last night. Let's hope some of these issues get addressed in a timely manner.
I know you like, tape for people's approval and stuff, and wave your tapes around like they're your dick...  but even you can't actually think section tapes from philips sound good.  



Recording: AKG C34 & AKG CK1X or CK2X > MK46 > 460 > Aeta Mix2000 > Sound Devices 702

No problem - I was just joking - I didn't take any offense. We can enjoy our time here, not always being so serious, right?

:-)

regards,

Jerry

Jerry, I don't mean any offense by that.  Forgive me if you read it this way.  The sensitivity statment was in regards to the MR-1000 based on the mic pres being so sensitive, not you.   ;D

The design of the deck is great in my opinion and have had wonderful sucess with it so far.  I never was looking at this as a one box soln, as I have an external mic pre that I would use anyway.

Thanks for all your help and support and keeping an eye out over here for how the reviews are going.

Re: Korg MR-1000 ~ question for Jerry

The USB port couldn't do this - it allows te internal hard drive to be mounted as a "class storage device" but it could not be both a master on one device and a slave on another.

Sorry. But having this type of feature in future products would be a good idea, I agree.

Regards,

Jerry

So I have a question for you...

Wouldn't it be *theoretically* possible to link multiple MR-1000s through the USB port to allow for synched multi-track 1-bit recording and playback??? (firmware)

This would be a very very very good thing!

Thanks!

You'll learn that I'll never answer these types of questions. I can't talk about future plans etc. But I will always listen and pay attention to your wants/needs/requests.

OK?

regards,

Jerry

Yes, and then a burner and some blank disks too if you don't mind.

Hmm.

How about a new accessory device with usb ports that would act as a master control + master clock for multiple units ~ so the usb ports of those multiple units would all be slaves.

Possible???

 ;D
