32     Operation Manual
NOTE
·If audio signals that cannot be synchronized with the Word 
Clock Source are sent to the MR816 CSX/MR816 X, the Word 
Clock Source lamps flash. In this state, make sure to send 
appropriate audio signals to the jack specified as the Word 
Clock Source. Alternately, change the Word Clock Source to a 
different value so that synchronization is possible.
·When the “Digital I/O, External FX” parameter is set to “S/PDIF 
(opt) + S/PDIF (coax)” and the “Clock Source” (page 31) 
parameter is set to “S/PDIF (opt)” or “S/PDIF (coax),” sending 
audio signals that cannot be synchronized (such as different 
data format or unstable sample rate) to the jack specified as 
the Word Clock Source results in both the OPTICAL IN jack and 
S/PDIF IN jack being unable to accept any audio signals. 
·When the “Digital I/O, External FX” (page 31) parameter is set 
to “External FX,” the “Clock Source” (page 31) parameter can 
be set to only “Internal” or “WCLK In.” If the “Clock Source” 
(page 31) parameter has been set to something other than 
“Internal” and “WCLK In,” the parameter will be automatically 
set to “Internal” in that case. 
3Sweet Spot Morphing Ch. Strip 
Determines the channels to which the Sweet Spot Mor-
phing Channel Strip effect is inserted. 
4External FX Type (MR816 CSX only)
By setting this parameter, you can determine how the 
MR816 CSX works as an external effect unit for the DAW 
software. This parameter is available only when the Digital 
I/O. External FX parameter (
page 31) is set to “External 
FX”, or in other words, when the MR816 CSX is set to the 
External Effect mode. When using the MR816 X, this 
parameter is not available since only the REV-X is built 
into the MR816 X. 
5Identify
Clicking this will flash the lamps of the Multi Function 
Encoder knob on the front panel of the MR816 CSX/
MR816 X which is currently being controlled from a com-
puter. This operation lets you confirm which device is 
actually controlled from a computer when two or more 
devices are daisy-chain connected.

MR Editor
The included MR Editor (see the “Getting Star ted” printed manual) gives you versatile tools for mixing the audio signal 
inputs of the MR816 CSX/MR816 X.
IMPORTANT
The MR Editor is used when you use a DAW other than Cubase or you want to set the necessar y settings for using the 
MR816 CSX/MR816 X without connecting a computer. Note that Cubase and the MR Editor cannot be active simultaneously 
because Cubase controls the mixing parameters of the MR816 CSX/MR816 X.
On the MR Editor, the mixing operation for each output can be per formed by selecting the output at the right end in the main 
window then setting the parameters such as volume and pan for each of 16 input channels in the Mixer section. For monitor -
ing the mixed sound, up to two outputs can be heard from the headphone jacks 1 and 2 simply by clicking the headphone 
icon (page 14) after selecting the desired output. 
The settings made on the MR Editor will be stored (overwritten) to internal memory in the MR816 CSX/MR816 X automati-
cally by executing the Scene Store operation, and will be maintained even if the power is tur ned off. Turning the power on 
the next time will transfer the settings on the MR816 CSX/MR816 X to the MR Editor on the computer automatically. Even 
when two or three MR816 CSX/MR816 Xs are connected to the computer in daisy-chain fashion, the MR Editor can contr ol 
them individually.
The MR Editor can be called up via the following operations.
Windows: 
·Select [Start] ➝ [All Programs] ➝ [Steinberg MR] ➝ [MR Editor]
·From the driver icon indicated on the Taskbar Notification area, right-click this icon then select “MR Editor.” 
Macintosh: 
·[Application] ➝ Double-click [MREditor]
The MR Editor consists of the Main window and Setup window. The explanations below cover the functions of these win-
dows. 
■Main window
The Main window lets you adjust various parameters such as mixing and inter nal effects (REV-X and Sweet Spot Morphing 
Channel Strip) related parameters for the input signal from the external audio device and computer. The input signals mixed 
with the controls in the center of the window are output from the output channels specified at the right of the window. Note 
that the External Effect mode is available when using the MR Editor as well as Cubase. You can set the MR816 CSX/
MR816 X to the External Effect on the MR Editor. 
To close the MR Editor window, click the [X] button at the top left cor ner.
