2 track simultaneous recording
built-in digital effects inc Mic and Amp simulations
USB Host function for CD burning with 'off-the-shel' CD burner

All the major controls and functions are right there on the top panel instead of buried in a confusing menu system, the MR-8 Mk II, unlike some other recorders. In addition there’s built-in digital effects, guitar amp and mic simulators, handy mix-down effects, plus the ability to hook up to a PC for data editing, and backing up your songs.
New for the Mk II is the USB host feature which allows for the easy connection of an 'off-the-shelf' CD-R burner via USB.
