Welcome to the MD4S
MD4S Features
Mixer
The mixer section is an analog mixer with four MIC/LINE and four LINE inputs.
Continuously variable GAIN controls are provided on input channels 1–4, accepting signals
ranging from mic input to line level.
Of the four MIC/LINE inputs, two are balanced, allowing the use of either TRS phone plugs
or XLR plugs.
Input channels 1 and 2 provide INSERT I/O jacks that allow external effects such as a
compressor to be connected.
Input channels 1–4 provide three-band EQ (HIGH/MID/LOW) that has been specially
engineered for musical applications.
Two AUX SEND jacks allow external effects such as reverb to be connected.
Signals sent from input channels 1–4 to the CUE bus (a signal route for monitoring) can be
monitored in stereo.
The mixer features an in-line design that allows the input signal and the track playback sound
to be controlled simultaneously. While using the CUE bus to monitor each track, you can
make full use of input channels 1–4 as you record. During mixdown, a total of eight sources
(including track playback signals) can be mixed.
TRACK DIRECT OUT jacks are provided for direct output of the playback from each track.
Recorder
The recorder features a 4-track recorder based on the MD DATA audio format. This provides
many advantages over tape-based multitrack recorders.
You can choose from three recording modes: 4 track, 2 track, monaural.
Negligible decrease in audio quality even after repeated ping-pong operations.
Ping-pong is possible even if all four tracks have been recorded.
A variety of locate functions allow you to move instantly to any location in the song.
Accurate auto punch-in/out can be performed with 11.6-millisecond accuracy.
A variety of editing functions allow you to copy or erase songs and tracks.
A variety of repeat functions allow songs or portions of a song to be repeated seamlessly.
The multi-take auto punch-in/out function lets you repeat auto punch-in/out several times,
and select the best take afterward.
Shuttle playback allows rapid playback / reverse-playback at speeds of 1/2, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, or
32x normal speed. (Forward playback only for 1/2 speed.)
Program Play function lets you program the playback order of songs. In addition, Cue List
Playback lets you freely program the playback order between markers.
10
Welcome to the MD4S
—Owner’s Manual
The recording/playback pitch can be adjusted up to a maximum of
±
10%. In addition, you
can use the x1/2 play function to playback at half-speed with a pitch that is one octave lower.
MIDI Time Code (MTC) / MIDI Clock data can be transmitted from the MIDI OUT
connector. This allows synchronization with a MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine without
using up a recording track. In addition, MTC from an external device can be received at the
MIDI IN connector, allowing the MD4S to be synchronized to external video/audio devices.
MIDI Machine Control (MMC) can be received, allowing the transport of the MD4S to be
controlled from a MIDI sequencer or other external device.
Buying discs for the MD4S
The MD4S can use two types of disc: MD DATA and MiniDisc. MD DATA discs can be used
for 4-track recording/playback, and MiniDiscs can be used for recording/playback of up to
two tracks. (They cannot be used for 4-track recording/playback.)
MD DATA and MiniDisc
MD DATA are widely used for computer data storage, and the MD4S uses the audio format of
this type of disc.
MiniDiscs (also known as MD) are used only for music.

Notes
These discs are for computer stor-
age applications, and can be pur-
chased at computer shops. Two
types are available: playback-only
and rewritable. Use the rewritable
type with the MD4S.
MD DATA discs recorded on the
MD4S cannot be played back on a
conventional MD player.
MD DATA discs that have been
used to store computer data can-
not be used as is by the MD4S.
Such discs must first be formatted
for audio use. See
“Erasing a disc
(Disc Erase)”
on page 86 for more
information.
Songs that were recorded in 8-
track mode on a recorder such as
the MD8 cannot be played back
on the MD4S.
These discs are for music. Two
types are available: playback-only
and rewritable. If you use the
rewritable type, you can record up
to two tracks.
MiniDiscs recorded on the MD4S
can be played back on a conven-
tional MD player.
MiniDiscs recorded on a conven-
tional MD recorder can be edited
on the MD4S, but if the music
includes a song that was digitally
copied from a copy-protected
music CD, editing will not be pos-
sible.
MD4S TOC
11
—Owner’s Manual
MD4S TOC
TOC refers to the Table of Contents area on the disc. The TOC contains information about
what is recorded on the disc, the disc title, song titles, and so on.
When you record a new song or edit the song title, the TOC EDIT indicator of the MD4S will
light to indicate that the TOC needs to be updated.
If the TOC EDIT indicator is lit, you must update the TOC before turning off the power of the
MD4S. If the power is turned off when the TOC EDIT indicator is lit, the data you recorded or
edited will be lost.
To update the TOC
Press the STOP button, and with the MD4S stopped, press the TOC WRITE button. (The
STOP button and the TOC WRITE button are the same button.)
The display will show “Writing TOC, indicating that the TOC is being written to disc. When
the TOC has been updated, the “Writing TOC” display and the TOC EDIT indicator will go
dark.
Recording modes and recording times
The MD4S offers three recording modes: 4-track (4TR), 2-track (2TR), and monaural
(MONO). The times available for recording on a single disc will depend on the recording
mode. Available recording/playback times will be 37 minutes in 4TR mode, 74 minutes in 2TR
mode, and 148 minutes in MONO mode. You can use a different recording mode for each
song, which allows you to make the most efficient use of each disc.
Note: If you press the EJECT button while the TOC EDIT indicator is lit, the TOC will
automatically be updated before the disc is ejected.

—Owner’s Manual
MD4S songs and blank areas
On the MD4S, recordings are made in units called “songs. Each song is assigned a number
indicating the order in which it was recorded. For example if you have recorded two songs on
a disc, song 2 will be recorded immediately after song 1, as shown in the following diagram.
When you record a new song or record additional material onto a previously-recorded song to
lengthen it, the new recording is done only on the unrecorded portion of the disc; the “blank
area. In the diagram above, it is possible to record a new song (song 3) in the blank area, or to
record additional material onto song 2 to lengthen it. However since there is no blank area
immediately after song 1, it is not immediately possible to record additional material to song 1
to lengthen it.
If three songs (songs 1, 2, and 3) are recorded consecutively on disc as shown in the following
diagram, and the middle song is erased, there will be a blank area corresponding to the length
of that song.
* Blank areas are also assigned a “blank area number” in the order in which they are created.
If you then record a song in the situation shown above, you will be able to select either blank
area 1 or blank area 2 in which to record. However if you select blank area 2, the time available
for recording will be limited to the length of the song that was erased.
Tip: If you wish to lengthen song 1, you will need to use a song editing function to move
song 1 to the blank area.

Mono Inputs
A GAIN control
This adjusts the input sensitivity of the MIC/LINE input jack (jacks 1 and 2 on the top
panel). Input channels 1–4 can accommodate signals of any level from mic input to the
line level signals produced by devices such as synthesizers.
B FLIP switch
This switch selects the signal source for the input channel and the signal source that is
sent to the CUE bus for monitoring.
When this switch is in the MIC/LINE position ( ), the signal from the MIC/LINE jack
will be sent to the input channel, and the track signal (the signal currently being recorded
or played back) will be sent to the CUE bus.
When this switch is in the PB position ( ), the signal from the track will be sent to the
input channel, and the signal from the MIC/LINE jack will be sent to the CUE bus.

C CUE PAN/CUE LEVEL controls
These two controls adjust the pan and signal level of the signal that is sent to the CUE bus. The
signal that is sent to the CUE bus will depend on the setting of the FLIP switch
2.
D EQ controls
These controls are used to adjust the high, middle, and low frequency bands. Each can boost
(amplify) or cut (attenuate) the frequency bands shown below over a range of ±15 dB. Each
knob is detented at the 12 o’clock position, which produces a flat response (no boost or cut).
HIGH (high range): 10 kHz (shelving)
MID (mid range): 2.5 kHz (peaking)
LOW (low range): 100 Hz (shelving)
E AUX control
This control sends the signal from the input channel to the AUX SEND jacks. Rotating the
knob toward the “1” position will sent the signal from the input channel to the AUX SEND 1
jack, and rotating the knob toward the “2” position will send the signal to the AUX SEND 2
jack. The knob is detented at the 12 o’clock position, and at this position no signal will be sent
to either AUX SEND jack 1 or 2. The AUX controls are normally used to adjust the signal level
that is sent to external effect devices.
F PAN control
This control adjusts the pan (left/right position) of the input channel signal that is sent to the
ST bus. If you are recording via the ST bus, rotating this control to the L position will assign
the input signal to odd-numbered tracks (tracks 1 and 3), and rotating it to the R position will
assign the input signal to even-numbered tracks (tracks 2 and 4). During mixdown, use this
control to adjust the stereo position of the playback for each track.
G Fader
During recording (when the FLIP switch is at MIC/LINE), use the fader to adjust the input
level of the signal being recorded on the track. During mixdown (when the FLIP switch is at
PB), use the fader to adjust playback level of each track. The fader will be at unity gain when
located between 7 and 8.
Unity gain: This refers to a condition where the output signal and input signal levels are the
same, which will produce the least distortion and the optimal S/N ratio.
Note: The AUX control is “post-fader”; i.e., it adjusts the level of the signal that has passed
through the fader
7. This means that if the fader has been lowered, the AUX control will
have no effect.

Stereo Inputs
H Level (5/6), (7/8) controls
These controls adjust the level of the signals input from STEREO
INPUT jacks 5/6 or 7/8. These input signals are always sent to the
ST bus, and are mixed with the signals from input channels 1–4
and the playback signals of the tracks.
Monitor/Master section
I CUE MIX TO STEREO switch
This switch turns the cue mix function on/off. When the switch is
pressed in ( ), the CUE MIX indicator in the display will light,
and the signal from the CUE bus will be mixed into the ST bus.
The cue mix function can be used only during playback, and is
normally used when adding sounds during mixdown (page 42).
J MONITOR SELECT switches
These switches select the signal that will be monitored from the
MONITOR OUT jacks (rear panel
4) and the PHONES jack
(front panel
1). When the switch is pressed in, the
corresponding source is selected (on). When the switch is up, the
signal will not be selected (off). The three switches can be turned
on/off independently.
2TR IN................... Monitor the signal that is input from the 2TR
IN jacks (rear panel
6).
STEREO ............... Monitor the ST bus signal that is output from
the STEREO OUT jacks (rear panel
5).
CUE....................... Monitor the CUE bus signal.
K MONITOR LEVEL control
This control adjusts the output level of the monitor signal that is
sent to the MONITOR OUT jacks (rear panel
4) and the
PHONES jack (front panel
1).
L STEREO fader
This adjusts the output level of the ST bus that is output from the
STEREO OUT jacks (rear panel
5). The fader will be at unity
gain when located between 7 and 8.
Unity gain: Refer to the explanation of 7 Fader.
