It appears to be in brand new condition and is complete with its original shipping box and manual.
Product DescriptionHandsome, sleek MD8 is a self-contained personal digital 8-track recording and mixing system designed to let you push your music to ever higher levels of creativity with clean sound, without getting lost in layers of complicated technology, or adding unwanted noise as you do your thing. You can be multi-tracking in minutes. Simply connect it to an amp and speakers, hook up 1 or 2 of your favorite effects processors, plug in some microphones, synthesizers, samplers, and guitars. Then go for it!Superior Audio FidelityWith the MD8, tape hiss is a thing of the past. Crystal clean, dynamic sound quality, on par with compact discs, is where it’s at. The MD8 records digitally to a small but durable MD DATA disc with a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, delivering flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz with inaudible 0.02% total harmonic distortion (at 1kHz), at a signal-to-noise ratio of 96dB. The MD8 has zero wow and flutter and zero pitch fluctuation, ensuring that sound quality will never degrade over time.MD Data Disc FormatThis formatting permits 18-minutes of 8-track recording, 37-minutes of 4-track recording, 74 minutes of stereo recording, and 148-minutes of mono recording all with the same superior, dynamic audio quality. The MD8 also lets you record and play in stereo or monaural using a standard Mini Disc. Convenient disc and song naming functions help you keep track of your expanding music archives.Simultaneous 8-Track RecordingWith the MD8, up to 8 tracks can be recorded simultaneously, which means you have the option of laying your band’s live performance down as is, as well as overdubbing additional parts to your heart’s content.All-Track Ping-PongingIf 8 tracks are simply not enough to handle your creative powers, you can “ping-pong” it down to 2 or more tracks and keep on building up layer upon layer of sound from there. Because it operates in the digital domain, the MD8 offers far more flexible ping-ponging than analog-based multi-track recorders, including no signal degradation from multiple ping-ponging, plus the unique ability to play back all 8 tracks and mix them down to 2 tracks, rather than mixing 6 tracks to 2.Precise Punch In/OutThere are various track punch-in/punch-out recording options, which let you re-record a specific segment of a track to spot-fix a mistake or brush-up a key passage in an otherwise perfect take. You can punch the MD8 in and out manually using the panel controls or a footswitch, or set specific record start and stop points for automatic punch-in and -out recording. A rehersal mode lets you practice the take as many times as you want before actually recording.Pre-Roll and Post-RollYou can even set the pre-roll and post-roll, or how many seconds the song plays before recording starts and after recording stops, so you can “fall in” naturally with the dynamics of the music to achieve the smoothest possible take. What’s more, you can record up to 99 takes and then choose the best one.Multiple ControlsFull compliment of panel controls give you direct and immediate access to record, playback, and editing functions intuitively, with only one hand. Functions like Record, Play, and Stop, plus convenient Direct/Group track assign buttons for each track, and a pitch function that lets you adjust the pitch for playback and recording. Handy Jog/Shuttle dial lets you fast-forward at half speed, or fast-forward/rewind through a song at 2,4,8,16, or 32x speeds, as well as locate a specific beat or frame.Large Fluorescent DisplayThe large fluorescent display provides ample feedback of current operating status, including selected tracks for recording, current operating mode, disc, and song titles, and level meters (with clipping indicator) for each track as well as the stereo output. A song time indicator gives you the option of displaying song location in minutes, seconds, and frames, either as Elapsed time, Total time, or Remaining time, or by measure/beat.MIDI Control OptionsEquipped with MIDI In, Out, and Thru terminals, plus various MIDI control options such as MIDI Time Code (MTC) transmit, which permits the MD8 to control play of an MTC-compatible music sequencer or desktop music system, plus MIDI Machine Control (MMC) receive which permits an external MIDI sequencer to control play of the MD8. A Tempo Map function lets you determine up to 26 Meter change and 26 Tempo change events per song, thus giving you flexible options for precise control of playback timing.Channel Inputs and InsertsHigh-quality 8-channel mixer section is designed not only for great sound but flexibility in the field. Channels 1 and 2 are balanced XLR inputs and phone-type jacks, plus I/O jacks for direct in/out connection to an external EQ, compressor, or other effect of your choice. Channels 3-8 sport unbalanced phone-type jacks. Each channel has a continuously variable Gain control from microphone to line level, thus permitting accurate level matching with the widest possible range of input sources.3-Band EQ With Mid SweepEach channel has a 3-band EQ section giving you considerable control over the sound of your tracks during recording and during mix-down. EQ lets you optimize the sound of each track by boosting certain frequencies and cutting the others, bringing a guitar forward in the mix, fattening up a thin bass, or creating unusual effects on a vocal. And much more. Equalization controls have high and low shelving type bands, a peaking type mid band with 250Hz~5kHz sweep that permits fine control.Flexible Signal RoutingThe MD8’s signal buss circuit design makes signal routing to recorder tracks as simple as the flick of a switch and twist of a knob. Each mixer input channel has 2 group assign switches and a pan pot which work in conjunction with the recorder’s Direct/Group assign buttons and the group master level controls to let you assign the channel signal to any track, or to any stereo pair (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8), with continuous stereo pan control.Cue SectionA cue section lets you adjust level and panning of each channel for a monitor mix sent to a separate monitor system, or a cue mix sent to a performer’s headphones. During mix-down the pan pots are used to position each track in the stereo mix.2 Aux Sends With Stereo ReturnConnect up to 2 external effects devices to greatly expand the on-board sound processing capabilities by adding specific amounts of reverb, delay, chorus, pitch change, or other effects to each track. Each channel has two Aux Send controls for designating level of input channel signals sent to the Aux Send 1 and 2 outputs. Stereo effect signals can be “returned” from the external processors via the stereo channel 9/10 and 11/12 input jacks, added to the mix via the 9/10 and 11/12 Level controls.Group Assign SwitchesGroup Assign switches let you route the returned stereo signals to the recorder tracks at will. You can also use the 9/10 or 11/12 jacks to input stereo signals from an external sound source such as a sampler or submixer.Monitoring FeaturesFlexible monitoring capabilities are designed to help simplify recording and mixing operations by letting you hear exactly what you want at all times. You can monitor the MD8 with a pair of stereo headphones plugged into the front-panel phones jack, as well as with an external amplifier and speaker system connected to the stereo monitor out jacks, overall output volume is controlled by the monitor level control.The monitor select switches let you hear Group signals, stereo signals received at the 2-TRACK IN jacks (such as a 2-track recorder, external submixer or sampler), the stereo output buss, or the cue signal from the recorder tracks. By using the cue level controls for each recorder track you can set up a separate monitor mix, thus leaving all 8 mixer output channels open for connecting additional audio sources such as external MIDI instruments.Direct OutputsDirect outputs for each recorder track let you bypass the on-board mixer entirely by connecting them to an external mixer capable of additional sound processing options.Search and LocateBoasts fast and accurate search and locate features that greatly speeds up recording and mixing processes. With a variety of controls to help you jump directly to any song location you want. Song Search buttons let you cue instantly to the beginning of each song, Last Record Search buttons let you go directly to the point at which recording was last started or ended, Mark Search buttons let you locate “markers,” or up to 12 specific points within each song which are freely assignable.Time Entry SearchThe MD8 also has a Time Entry Search function which lets you locate a specific point within a song by entering the exact time position in minutes, seconds, and frames (or by measure and beat), as well as quickly find your location aurally using the Job/Shuttle dial.Fine Tune the Details of Your CreationSong Copy makes a safety backup copy of a song-including title, marks, and tempo map-before track ping-ponging, so if you’re not happy with the result, you can always go back to the duplicate version and try again. You can determine track mode for 4- or 8-track recording. Song Divide divides a song into several independent songs, which can then be arranged as a program for playback. Song Combine combines adjacent songs that were divided using the Song Divide function.Other Song and Track Editing FeaturesSong Move moves a song to a specified blank area on the disc, and Song Renumber reorganizes the songs so that each song number matches its actual order on the disc. Other edit functions include Part Copy, which allows you to copy a part of a track between the record in and out points to another track. Track Copy copies an entire track to another track. A rehearse mode lets you perform a dry run before activating the actual recording operation.Song RepeatThe MD8’s nonlinear approach to song and marker location and playback gives you unique listening and even arranging options. The Repeat function lets you designate either a single song to play repeatedly, or all songs to repeatedly play one after another, in a loop. An A-B Repeat function lets you play a specific section of a song repeatedly, looping between designated A and B points.Cue List and Program PlayThe Cue List Playback function lets you create a completely different version of a song by compiling a Cue List of up to 26 steps (a sequence of cues for playback) using markers. You can specify the start marker and end marker for each step, plus the number of times you the step to repeat. The Program Playback function works in a similar way, letting you compile a “Program” of songs to play in a specific order, by assigning a song number to each step in a Program list containing up to 36 steps.
