D-160 Owner's manual (SETUP mode)

6.Use either the HOLD/> key or SHUTTLE dial to choose "bar" or " beat". Then, use the JOG dial to enter the bar number or time signature you want.

The bar numbers you can enter are from 001 to 999. And the time signatures you can enter are "1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 8/8". For your information, the "- -/- -" means "No Signature registered" and can be used to delete a signature change point. When you turn the JOG dial while the display shows "*** bar" flashing, it will either show the time signature as "*/*" on the already registered bars or as "- -/- -" if a bar has no time signature registered.

7.Press the EXECUTE/YES key after you have entered a required bar number and time signature.

The setting will now be registered. Then, the display will go back to Item 5 and show "*** bar" flashing, allowing you to enter a new time signature setting.

8. Repeat the procedures described in items 5 ~ 7 to register further time signatures.

*Press either the STOP button or EXIT/NO key to return from the second step 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.

<Note>

You can register the setting up to 64 points. If you try to register over 64 points, the 65th point onwards will be ignored.

Time Signature Edit & Delete

Follow the procedures described as in Items 1 ~ 5.

6.When the display shows flashing "*** bar", choose the bar that carries the signature you want to edit with the JOG dial.

7.Press the HOLD/> key or turn the shuttle dial to choose the "*/* ".

The flashing display will move to the "*/* " and allows you to change the time signature setting.

8.With the JOG dial, choose a required time signature.

If you choose "- -/- -", the time signature on the bar will be deleted.

9.Press the EXECUTE/YES key after you have changed or deleted the time signature on the bar number you wanted.

The setting will now be registered. Then, the display will return to Item 5 and show "*** bar" flashing, which allows you to enter a new time signature setting.

*Press either the STOP button or EXIT/NO key to return from the second step 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.

<Notes>

* You cannot register the "- -/- -" setting on the 001bar.

* If the registered tempo changing point becomes unavailable, after you alter the time signature, the particular beat which used to carry some tempo changing will automatically disappear. For example, the registered tempo at 010 bar 4 will disappear if you edit the time signature at the 010 bar to 3/4 beat.

Delete all Time Signature Setting at once

Follow the procedures described as in items 1 ~ 5.

6.While the display shows "*** bar" flashing, turn the JOG dial fully counter clockwise.

The display will now show "All Clear?" and flashing "SURE?".

7.Press the EXECUTE/YES key to proceed.

All the registered time signature settings will be erased and go back to the initial setting. Then, the display will go back to item 5 and show "*** bar" flashing.

<Note>

Be careful because this procedure wipes out the tempo setting as well as time signature setting.
