You can use the undo/redo functions while the D-160 is in the stop mode. Under the following circumstances, you will be unable to use the undo/redo functions:
1.If you make a new recording, 2.If you make a new edit (Copy & Paste, Move & Paste, Erase), 3.If the Auto Punch In point was passed in play or record mode while Auto Punch mode

was on, or

4. If you turned off the power to the D-160, then turned it back on. 5. If you use the Program Change function.

2. Move & Paste

The Move & Paste function moves sound data to the Clipboard, and pastes the data in the same track or another track. You can specify the number of repeats of the paste operation (1-99) to paste data repeatedly. The difference between the Copy & Paste and the Move & Paste operation is that, after the Move & Paste operation, the source data and the data on the Clipboard will be removed. You can use this function with any Time Base.
* To perform the Move operation, you first need to set the start point (Clipboard In point) and the end point (Clipboard Out point) of the data to be moved, and the move source track. To perform the Paste operation, you need to set the start point (Auto Punch In point) and the paste destination point.

2-1. Moving

Saving all Programs (Save ALL)
1. Follow Steps 1 through 5 of the Saving an individual Program procedure. 2. Use the JOG dial to select Save ALL? (? flashes.).
Selecting Save All? will cause the following display to appear.
Save All? (nn/nn) (nn=number)
The number on the right of the slash (/) is the number of all Programs, and the number on the left is the number of Programs that can be saved. For example, 03/03 means that all three Programs can be saved. 01/03 means that one Program out of three Programs can be saved. 00/03 means that no Programs can be saved. If you press the EXECUTE/YES key at this point, Void Command! appears and you cannot proceed with the save operation. If you have selected Save All, you cannot use multiple disks to save. In this case, chose the save operation for an individual Program.
3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key (SAVE light up.)
Data will be saved as Song data. Therefore, Program 1 (P1) on the internal hard disk will be saved as Song 1 (S1), Program 2 (P2) as Song 2 (S2). After the save operation is complete, COMPLETED! lights up. Press the STOP button or the EXIT/NO key to return to the previous Time Base display.
* You cannot abort a save operation while it is in progress. * To enter title for a SCSI disk, go to 2-20. Drive Sel.? menu in Setup mode and change the current drive to SCSI, then go to 2-4. Title Edit? menu in Setup mode to enter the title.
If an error occurs during execution of save and "Error 35" appears in the display, carry out the following steps:
1. Press the EXIT/NO key.
"Retry?" will appear in the display.
2. If save is to be executed again, press the EXECUTE/YES key upon display of "Retry?."
Save will be executed again. If ALL save was carried out in this process, save will be executed again from where the error occurred. Also, if several disks are used for the save, it will save again from the head of the disk in which the error occurred.
3. If it is to be canceled without executing save, press the EXIT/NO key upon display of

"Retry?."

Loading Song data
Use the Load PGM? menu in the Setup mode to load Song data.

2. Use the JOG dial to select Load PGM? (? will flash.). 3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key. (LOAD will light.)
An indication of the type of the digital signal to be loaded will flash on the display.
4. Rotate the JOG dial to select a flashing SCSI. 5. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.

4. Set the SETUP mode "MIDI device ID setting," to "01" in D-160 (#2), and to "02" in D-160 (#3).
5. Using the SETUP mode "Slave mode setting," set slave mode to "On," and the SETUP mode
"Slave mode type setting," the slave type to "adat."
* Slave mode initial setting: Off * Permissible setup item: On, Off * Slave type initial setting: SP DIF * Permissible setup item: Vari, SP DIF, adat, Free * This item can be set for each program. * The setting can be saved/loaded as song data. * This setting will be held even though power is switched OFF.
# Refer to page "154", SETUP mode "2-12. Slave mode setting" , and to page "155", SETUP mode "2-13. Save mode type setting", for operating procedure and details.
6. Press the DISP SEL key while pressing the EXECUTE/YES key to change the time base display
After this setup, check the following in D-160 (#2) and D-160 (#3). * Blinking of "CHASE" in the display: This will change to constant lit upon completing chase lock in later operation. * "DIGITAL" is lit in the display: This means it is externally synchronized against the input digital signal.
Do not insert or remove the optical cable connected to DATA IN when the slave mode is set to "On." Doing so could generate noise and affect external equipment.
Check chase lock 1. When the master unit (D-160 (#1)) is played back, MTC IN LED of the slave unit (D-160 (#2) and D160 (#3)) will be lit, "CHASE" in the display will immediately change from blinking to lit and chase lock will be completed.
Check that the MTC time on display are same in both master and slave units.
2. When the master starts recording, the slave will also start recording upon completing chase
3. When the master is stopped, the slave will also stop as MTC from the master will be interrupted.
"CHASE" in the display will change from lit to blinking.
4. During FF/REW, the master only will be in the FF/REW mode and the slaves will remain
stopped but when playback/recording is started, the slaves will immediately chase lock.
The D-160 re-chase window is fixed at "10 frame." In other words, when MTC of the master and slave drifts apart more than 10 frames, it will assume that chase lock is disengaged and the slave will match the position again with the master (re-chase operation). During the re-chase operation, sound output will be muted. If the drift is within 10 frames, the slave will recognize this and continue to travel. Because the master supplies digital signal to slave in this system, re-chase is rarely carried out following chase lock.

The D-90, D-80, D-80 Ver. 2, DMT-8 Ver. 2, DMT-8VL, and DMT-8 can play back only the recorded area (ABS 0 through ABS END). Therefore, if nothing is recorded, they cannot output the MTC or perform the Chase Lock (sync).
At this point the devices are not chase-locked, but recording separately. Follow the procedure below so that the two units will chase-lock to each other.
Setting the D-160 (Master)
1. The D-160 will output the MTC for the sync operation. Set the MIDI sync output signal setting in the Setup mode to MTC.
# Refer to 2-8. MIDI sync output signal setting in the Setup mode on page "150" for the procedure and additional information.
2. Set any frame rate for the MTC Frame rate setting in the Setup mode.
# Refer to 2-9. MTC Frame rate setting in the Setup mode on page "151" for the procedure and additional information.
3. Select ABS for the sake of compatibility with the DMT-8 Ver. 2 for MTC offset mode setting in the Setup mode.
# Refer to 2-11. MTC offset mode setting in the Setup mode on page "153" for the procedure and additional information.
4. Set an offset time for MTC offset time setting in the Setup mode.
# Refer to 2-10. MTC offset time setting in the Setup mode on page "152" for the procedure and additional information.
5. Set the MIDI device ID setting in the Setup mode to 00.
# Refer to 2-18. MIDI device ID setting in the Setup mode on page "161" for the procedure and additional information.
6. Select SP DIF as the digital output signal for the Digital output track setting in the Setup mode. * Only an S/P DIF digital signal can be used with the D-80, D-80 Ver. 2, DMT-8 Ver. 2, DMT-8 VL, and DMT-8.
# Refer to 2-16. Digital output track setting in the Setup mode on page "159" for the procedure and additional information.
7. Press the DISP SEL key while holding down the EXECUTE/YES key to select MTC as the Time Base indication.
Setting the DMT-8 Ver. 2 (Slave)
# Refer to the DMT-8 Users Guide for the procedure and additional information.
1. Use the same frame rate as the D-160 for the MTC frame rate setting in the Setup mode. 2. Use the D-160s offset time for the MTC offset time setting in the Setup mode. There is no MTC offset mode setting on the D-80, D-80 Ver. 2, DMT-8 Ver. 2, and DMT-8 VL. When you use the D-160s setting, the MTC offset mode will automatically become ABS. 3. Set the MIDI device ID setting in Setup mode to 01 on the DMT-8 Ver. 2. 4. Set the Slave mode to On for the Slave mode setting in the Setup mode. You can set the Slave mode on the D-80, D-80 Ver. 2, DMT-8 Ver. 2, and DMT-8 VL, but you cannot select a sync signal (SLAVE TYPE). If you use the D-160s setting, SP DIF will be automatically selected. 5. Press the DISP SEL key while holding down the EXECUTE/YES key to select MTC as the Time Base indication.

6. Press the EXECUTE/YES key once again to proceed.
After swapping the recorded data on track 2 with one on track 8, the display will show "COMPLETED!". Then go back to the normal time base display as before you entered SETUP mode.
2-2. Time Signature Setting ("Signature Set?")
This mode sets up the time signature of a song. The way it sets this up is, for example, to start a song with a 4/4 beat from the first bar, then to change it to a 2/4 beat at bar number 17. The time signature and next section tempo setting make up a tempo map. After the tempo map is figured out by completing the time signature and tempo setting, the D-160 will be able to handle "BAR /BEAT/ CLOCK" and the metronome function. You need to set up the time signature and tempo to generate the MIDI Clock & Song Position Pointer.
* Refer to page "117" for details of "MIDI Clock Synchronization".
The D-160 will still run the time counter in PLAY mode even after the ABS END. Thus, it will continue generating the MIDI Clock & Song Position Pointer even if you have not recorded anything, provided a tempo map has been set up.
* Initial Setting: 001Bar 4/4 Beat * Available bars: 001 ~ 999 * Available time signature: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 8/8, - -/- - (Delete) * Maximum setting points : 64 * The setting is applicable song by song. * The setting can be saved or loaded as a part of the song data * The setting is memorized even when the power is off. * Make sure you choose the right program before setting this mode.
1. Press the DISP SEL key and choose the flashing SETUP mode on the display. Then, press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The SETUP display stops flashing.
2. Choose "Signature Set?" with the JOG dial. The "?" display will start flashing. 3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The D-160 will display "SIGNATURE" and the last recalled bar number with the time signature that has been registered. In the case of the initial setting, as only the first bar is registered with a 4/4 beat, it will show "001 bar 4/4 beat".
Time Signature Setting Check
4. Turn the JOG dial when the D-160 displays "SIGNATURE".
If there are some setting changes registered in a song, you can see the next set up point by rotating the JOG dial clockwise. ("*** bar */* ) If you turn the JOG dial fully clockwise, "- - BAR - -/- - " will be displayed. This means there are no more time signature changing points registered.
The D-160 counts a beat with the last registered time signature, i.e. one bar before the "- - bar - -/- - ". In the case of the initial setting, because only the first bar is registered with a 4/4 beat, the beat counts with a 4/4 beat until the end unless you register a different time signature after the second bar.

The flashing display will move to " =*** " so that it allows you to change the tempo setting.
8. With the JOG dial, choose a required tempo.
If you choose "- - -", the tempo setting on the bar/beat will be deleted.
9. Press the EXECUTE/YES key after you have changed or deleted the tempo setting on the bar/ beat you wanted.
The setting will now be registered. Then, the display will go back to Item 5 and show "*** bar" flashing, which allows you to enter a new tempo setting. * Press either the STOP button or EXIT/NO key to return from the second step menu to the first or to quit SETUP mode. The menu will go backwards each time you press either key so that you can correct the setting, choose some other setup mode, or eventually return to the normal time base display.
You cannot register the "- - -" at the 001 bar 1.
Delete all Tempo Setting at once
If you proceed with "Delete all Time Signature Setting at once" as described in the previous section, the D-160 will erase all the tempo settings as well as the time signature settings.
* Refer to the "Delete all Time Signature Setting at once" section for details.
2-4. Program Title Setting ("Title Edit PGM?")
This mode gives a name to the individual program (maximum of 99 programs). Also, the registered name can be edited. Choose a required program before you enter to the SETUP mode if you are newly giving a title or editing a title.
2. With the JOG dial, choose "TitleEdit PGM?".
The "?" display will start flashing.
3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The D-160 will enter the second step menu of "TitleEdit PGM?" and show the current program title. In the case of the initial setting, the display will show "#0001" with "#" flashing. The flashing digit allows you to enter a letter. The available letters are a maximum of 16 digits of alphabet or numbers. The D-160 handles ASCII code.
4. Use the JOG dial to enter a required letter. Then, use either the HOLD/> key or SHUTTLE dial to move the flashing digit. 5. Press the EXECUTE/YES key after you have entered the required title.

When this command is received, D-160 will paste the sound data which have been move clipped in the clipboard, for the number of times specified by <repeat count> on the same track from the pre-registered auto punch in point as the starting point. At the same time, the move clipped original sound data will be erased (data "0" is written in). However, when sound data length in the clipboard is less than 10ms, specifying the <repeat count> will be limited to "01." Also, by specifying the <mmc track>, paste operation can be executed on other tracks in mono (one track unit) or stereo units (tracks 1&2, 3&4, 5&6. 15&16). Since time corresponding to length of the move clipped sound data is required to complete the move paste operation, D-160 will immediately reply with "32 4E (<edit message=02 (active)>)" after receiving the command. Following completion of the move paste operation, "32 4E (<edit message = 01 (completed)>)" will be sent.
D-160 Owner's Manual (MMC/FEX List/Maintenance/Specifications) If paste cannot be executed due to improper figures of the previously registered auto punch in point, insufficient disc capacity, no sound data is in the clipboard, etc., the corresponding <edit message> will be replied.

VF160 Digital Power T ool

Main Features

An internal CD-RW drive the CD-1A. .WAV file import/export via internal CD-RW ADAT Mixer Mode when using PC/Mac-based audio/midi software and an ADAT audio card, the VF160 can be used as a full function mixer with its high-quality mic amps, digital EQ and effects processing available for inputs and simultaneous monitoring of the audio on the PC, each with its own fader. Scrub Zoom allows zooming-in of the current waveform display by up to 16 times, so that editing points can now be selected more precisely. Fader Pairing allows channels be paired or ganged in stereo sets i.e. Ch 1-2, 5-6, etc. and have the stereo level controlled by the odd numbered respective fader. Channel Solo allows any number of channels to be placed into solo mode quickly and easily. In addition to individual track and 8 track modes, Track Exchange is now enhanced to include stereo pair exchange. BPM Delay will automatically calculate the feedback time of the delay according to any change of tempo as designated in the tempo map. Event Map Locate allows instant access to points displayed on the Event Map Screen. Locate to Last Rec Point will instantly return to the point where the last recording began.

Record. Mix. Burn.

Heres the next generation hard disk 16-track digital recording/editing/mixing/CD mastering power tool all wrapped up in one easy-to-use package. Based on the popular VF-16, the VF160 comes standard with a built-in CD-RW so you can burn CDs directly in the unit! No options, no gimmicks - simply record, master, and let it burn. The recording engine features a total of 16 tracks plus 8 virtual tracks for recording additional takes. The simultaneous 16-track recording to a large capacity 20GB internal E-IDE hard disk gives you hours of record time on all 16 tracks all under the control of Fostexs clever FDMS-3 technology. This technology enables more efficient disk and CPU usage so you get more recording track minutes per drive all without data compression, and with faster editing and DSP operations.
