3. Program Change function

The D-160 features a Program Change function, which enables you to setup as many as 99 Programs on a single hard disk, and record and edit up to 99 separate songs.

You can also name (title) each Program.

Using an analogy, imagine that each Program has its own room on the hard disk. You can record, play, and edit each Program without affecting other Programs.

Assume that you have made a six-minute mono-track recording in Program 1, then you have setup Program 2 and made a 10-minute, mono-track recording to the Program. Now, the hard disk contains two rooms (total 16 minutes). (You can setup a maximum of 99 Programs.)

Program 1	Program 2	Program 3	Program 4
Program 5	Program 6	Program 7	Program 8
Program 9	Program 10	Program 11	Program 12

Individual rooms (You can setup a maximum of 99 Programs.)

In the default setting, one Program has been setup. If you wish to setup more Programs, refer to “Recording/Playback, 2-1. Setting up a Program.”

Please remember, however, that regardless of the number of Programs you setup, the total recording time of the Programs cannot exceed the maximum available time of the hard disk.

For example, if you are using a Model 9041 (1.3GB), you can record up to about 15 minutes on all 16 tracks (with a sampling rate of 44.1kHz), or up to 240 minutes on a single mono track. Therefore, if you have already recorded a 15-minute, 16-track song in Program 1, the available recording time will remain 0, and you will be unable to record data to other Programs.
