Fostex owner manual 134, Procedure for the Chase Lock operation, Setting the D-160 Master

D-160 Owner's Manual (MIDI sync function)

Procedure for the Chase Lock operation

1.Press a RECORD TRACK select key on both machines to set the tracks in the “READY” mode.

2.Press the RECORD and PLAY buttons on the D-160 to start recording.

The DMT-8 Ver. 2 will also start recording. This is because the master device will send a RECORD command.

This procedure is used to create an area that can be played back on the DMT-8 Ver. 2; you do not need to input audio (silence recording). If you make a silent recording of almost the same length as the song to be recorded, sync operation can be started at any point in the song.

3.Press the STOP button on both machines.

*If something has been previously recorded, you do not need to perform this procedure.

<Note>

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.
