Major new functions
Backup/restore on CD-R/RW
A
Restore D8 song data
Audio data which has been stored on an external SCSI drive by the D8 Digital Recording Studio can be restored to the D16V2 for playback and further editing.
Import and export WAV files
WAV format audio files can be loaded from a DOS for- mat (FAT 16) external drive connected to the [SCSI] connector into a D16V2 song. Audio data from the clip- board of the D16V2 can now be exported to a DOS for- mat (FAT 16) external SCSI drive as a WAV format audio file.
MTC slave, MMC transmission
The D16V2 can receive and synchronize to MTC (MIDI Time Code) transmitted from another D16V2 or exter- nal sequencer. MMC (MIDI Machine Control) message can now be received, allowing the D16V2 to be con- trolled by a connected external
This makes it possible for two D16V2 units to be oper- ated in synchronization.
MIDI control of mixer parameters
Mixer data (fader and pan etc.) of the D16V2 can be transmitted and received via MIDI control change mes- sages.
This allows the D16V2 to be controlled by automation from an external MIDI sequencer.
Fade Track
A new Fade Track command has been added to track editing, allowing audio data recorded on a track to be
Normalize Track
A new Normalize Track command has been added to track editing.
This allows the level of audio data recorded at an unin- tentionally low level to be boosted to a more appropri- ate level.
Sort scenes by time
Scenes are normally arranged in the order in which they were stored/created, but you can now use a “Sort” button to rearrange them in the order of their time loca- tions.
Scene “EdtFiltr” button has been added
An “EdtFiltr” button has been added to the [SCENE] “ReadDel” tab page. By pressing this button you can view and modify the filter settings that have been recorded for each scene.
Guide indicator added to scene “MixView” page
A guide indicator has been added to the “MixView” tab page, showing the difference between the current set- ting of the selected fader or pan, and the value recorded in the scene.
Selectable undo levels
The number of undo levels had been fixed at 99 in the previous version, but now you can select from 1, 8, or 99 levels.
By setting this to a lower level than 99, you can avoid creating unwanted undo data, and make more effective use of the hard disk capacity.
“Erase” button added to the “CDR/RW” page
Data such as audio tracks written to a
Changes to the “Rename” page
“Insert,” “Delete,” and “BackSpace” buttons have been added.
These additions make it much easier to use the "Rename" function.
Forcible initialization for a protected song
A “Force” button has been added, allowing you to forc- ibly initialize even a protected song. This is helpful when choosing to initialize a drive after you have backed up your song data, avoiding having to unpro- tect each song individually.
