Fostex D2424LVMKII manual Program, Time Base

Model D2424LVmkII Quick Operation Guide

When you format the hard disk one Program (*1) is automatically set up, and “ABS 00M 00S 00F” (ABS Time Base

-*2) appears, indicating that the top of the Program is located. Now, you can start recording, playback, and editing on this unit using the installed hard disk.

(*1) Program:

You can set up a maximum of 99 Programs, limited by the available space on your hard disk.

You can select any Program to perform recording, playback, and edit (Program Select function).

You may also name the Programs to facilitate managing individual songs (Program Title Edit function). You can delete unnecessary Programs (Program Delete function).

For more information, refer to the Reference Manual.

(*2) Time Base:

This document and the Reference Manual use the word “Time Base” frequently. This refers to the units to indicate the current transport position of the recorder, in other words, Absolute Time.

This recorder also uses MTC (MIDI time code) and BAR/BEAT/CLK (bar/beat/clock). An MTC value is a relative time value calculated by adding an MTC offset value to the ABS time value. BAR/BEAT/CLK indicates a position within a song of this recorder’s tempo map based on the MIDI clock position pointer. You can switch to any of these units as follows.

For more information on the Time Base, refer to the Reference Manual.

•When ABS Time Base appears on the display, hold down the [SHIFT] key and press the [DISP SEL] key repeatedly to switch among these units.

Checking the available recording time (REMAIN) on a formatted disk

It is a good idea to check the available recording time after you format the disk. To do so, press the [DISP SEL] key to display the REMAIN time indication, which indicates the available recording space in the selected Time Base unit. Press the [DISP SEL] key to return to the previous Time Base display.

<Note>

The REMAIN time values are based on a mono track recording. If you wish to record on multiple tracks, you can find out how many minutes of a song you can record by dividing the REMAIN time value by the number of tracks. Check the REMAIN value each time before you make a new recording.
