Main Features of D-160

The D-160 is equipped with the following functions:

*Employs a 3.5 inch E-IDE type removable hard disk system. With an optional 9041 (1.3GB removable hard disk cartridge), 16-track (plus additional 8 tracks) recording and playback. Total 240 minutes recording/playback time based on a single track calculation.

*Non-compression recording/16 bit linear quantization and sampling rates of 44.1kHz and 48kHz (assignable for each Program and each playback), achieving true CD quality.

“Adat optical I/O” (switchable to S/P DIF), enables 16-track simultaneous recording (8 analog, 8 digital). Connecting adat output (x2) of a digital console and adat optical inputs (x2) of the D-160 allows for 16-track simultaneous digital recording.

*Employs a new disk management method, “FDMS-3” (Fostex Disk Management System-3). With this method, only the recorded part consumes the disk space, which allows highly efficient multitrack recording.

*Program Change function for managing up to 99 Programs (each Program title editable).

Non-volatile locate memory for each Program, with a pre-roll time of 0 - 10 seconds.

*Bar/beat Resolution function for storing memory in Bar/Beat units.

*Significantly improved efficiency with an FL display that features a high-visibility 16-character indication.

*Erase Program function and Delete Program function, convenient for efficient song management.

*MIDI IN/OUT/THRU terminals support the output of MIDI clock and Song Position Pointers via an internal Tempo Map, as well as support MTC/MMC. They also support advanced recorder control via FEX (Fostex System Exclusive) for advanced functions. These terminals, along with the functions to store the MTC output offset by Bar/Beat, to store 24-hour MTC offset, and to display external MTC (or LTC), will facilitate configuring an integrated MIDI environment.
