8 track recorder with ATRAC 3.5. Supports MD-Data but not MD-Data2. There is an MD8S as well.

  • A new “jog/shuttle dial” has been added for speedy cueing and editing, making it easy to perform “skip cue playback” (fast forward/rewind while listening to sound) from 2x to 32x.
  • If there is a partial mistake in the recorded content, “punch-in/out” recording is possible by re-recording only that part and correcting it. Depending on the available disk space, you can record as many times as you like up to 99 times, and select the optimum recording.
  • Equipped with a “mark search” function that allows you to mark any point up to 10 points for each song and instantly cue. The specified point can be specified in approximately 1/100 second units. In addition, a “cue list play” function that specifies the repeat and playback order of any section between 12 points including the beginning and end of the song, and a “part play” function that copies the specified section of any track to another position The copy function allows you to freely change the composition and length of the song.
