Fostex D-160 Installation and operating instructions

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0
The software of this product has been upgraded to version 2.0 and the following functions
have been added. This addendum describes only the added functions. For information
regarding basic operation of the D-160, refer to the main Owner’s Manual.
<Additional Functions>
1. Using a SCSI drive as the current drive, in addition to E-IDE disks. (See page
4.)
In addition to an E-IDE hard disk, you may use an external SCSI device as the current
drive. Up to two SCSI drives (current and backup) can be connected to the SCSI
terminal on the D-160.
2. Formatting has been changed. (See page 5.)
The format function for the current drive disk (E-IDE or SCSI) and the backup drive
disk (SCSI) has been changed.
3. A Preview function has been added, and the RECALL key function has been
expanded. (See page 11.)
Pressing a Memory key while holding down the RECALL key enables you to preview
fade-in or fade-out at a point stored in the corresponding Memory key.
4. The Envelope function has been added, and the STOP button function has
been expanded. (See page 13.)
Pressing a RECORD RACK select key while holding down the STOP button enables you
to perform digital scrubbing. you can simultaneously check the signal envelope of
the corresponding track displayed on the screen.
5. Storing function for the Locate points (edit points) has been updated. (See
page 14.)
Now up to 99 (01-99) Locate points can be stored.
6. The Save/Load function for song data has been enhanced. (See page 18.)
You can use a SCSI device as the current drive. This means that you can save and load
using a SCSI device, as well as an E-IDE hard disk. You can also use a DOS-formatted
backup disk to save and load .wav files (RIFF WAVE file format).
<Note>
Due to version update, the procedure described in the “Saving and Loading Song Data” section of the original
manual does not apply any more. Please refer to the procedure on page 18 of this addendum for information on
saving and loading song data.

<List of SCSI drive and media checked for function (as ofAug. 1998)>
<SCSI drive and media checked for function>
“The SCSI drive and media checked for function” are products that have been selected from the Fostex recommended list. They have
been connected to an D-160 and their correct operation confirmed. However, in some cases, there is a subtle difference in performance
from unit to unit, even in the same model from the same manufacturer, and therefore, this is not a guarantee of the performance of all
recommended products on the list. This is also not a evaluation of the SCSI drive and their performance. The D-160 has two types of
“Recording Mode” and there is a limit to the equipment which can be used (Refer to page 5).

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0
Connecting a SCSI device
You may now use a SCSI device (removable or fixed) as the current drive. This section explains how to connect
a SCSI device as the current drive, and provides some guidelines. Follow the guidelines below to learn how to use
SCSI devices correctly. For more information on the type of SCSI devices that can be used as the current drive,
refer to page 3 “List of SCSI drive and media checked for function” in this Manual.
Connections
You can connect a SCSI device to the D-160 Version 2.0 in one of three configurations:
1.Using one SCSI device as the current drive
2.Adding a SCSI device when an E-IDE hard disk is already installed
3.Connecting a backup SCSI device to the current SCSI device
1. Using one SCSI device as the current drive
As shown in the diagram, connect a SCSI device to the SCSI terminal on the D-160 Version 2.0. Be sure to install
a SCSI terminator on another SCSI terminal on the SCSI device. (If the SCSI device uses a termination switch, be
sure to turn it on.) You can connect only one SCSI device as the current drive. (You may connect an additional
SCSI device as a backup drive.) When you turn on the power to the D-160 and the SCSI device, the D-160 will
recognize the connected SCSI device as the current drive.
<Notes on setting the SCSI ID number of the SCSI device (IMPORTANT!!)>
Select any number from 1 to 5 EXCEPT “6” for the ID number of the SCSI device. (ID number “6” should be used for a backup
SCSI device.) Earlier versions of the D-160 automatically recognized the ID number set for the backup SCSI device. Therefore,
no such restriction was necessary. However, due to a version update, a SCSI device can now be used as a current drive, and
this restriction must apply.
2. Adding a SCSI device when an E-IDE hard disk is already installed
Connect a SCSI device to the SCSI terminal on the D-160 Version 2.0. Follow the steps described above to install
a SCSI terminator and set the ID number. When you turn on the power to two current drives and the D-160, the
D-160 will recognize the connected E-IDE hard disk as the current drive. If you wish to use the SCSI device as
the current drive, use the [Drive Sel.?] menu in Setup mode to switch the current drive.

3. Connecting a backup SCSI device to the current SCSI device
To use another SCSI device as a backup drive, connect two SCSI devices in chain as shown below. There is no
restriction regarding which device comes first. However, be sure to install the terminator on the second SCSI
device (the device at the end of the chain). Refer to the “Notes on setting the SCSI ID number of the SCSI device
(IMPORTANT!!)” section on the previous page for more information on setting the ID number of each SCSI
device.
Changed Format function
The format of the current drive disk and backup disk has changed. The format of the current drive disk is as
follows, depending on the type of devices:
E-IDE hard disk 16-track format
SCSI device Select from 8-track format, 4-track format
[Backup format] is used for a backup disk (which is used to save and load song data). Refer to the table below

SCSI drive for the current drive is connected. E-IDE hard disk for the current drive is installed.
Formatting of both E-IDE and SCSI equipment
In a situation where both the E-IDE hard disk and a SCSI drive are used for the current drive, each current drive disk will
be formatted here. Normally, when power is switched ON to equipment using both types as the current drive, the E-IDE
hard disk will automatically become active as the current drive.
In the D-160, regardless to which is the current drive, the presently active current drive can format the other current
drive. In the procedure below, it is assumed that the E-IDE hard disk had been formatted in according to the above
“FORMATTING THE CURRENT DRIVE (E-IDE HARD disk” and this, then will format the SCSI drive. It is also assumed
that the E-IDE time base is shown in the display.
After switching to the SETUP display by pressing the
DISP SEL key, press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The D-160 will enter the SETUP mode and the display will
change to the SETUP menu which was in effect prior to
switch OFF of power.
Select the [Disk Format?] menu by rotating theJOG
dial and press the EXECUTE/YES key.
[IDE] will change to blinking and as the JOG dial is rotated.
This will alternately switch and allow a choice between the
blinking [IDE] and blinking [SCSI #] (# = ID of the SCSI
equipment).
After selecting [SCSI #] with the JOG dial, press the
EXECUTE/YES key once again.
No matter whether an unformatted or formatted disk is
loaded in the SCSI drive, the ID number and drive name
will be displayed and [SURE?] will blink.
Press the EXECUTE/YES key once again.
The display will change to selecting the recording mode
and [8 track format] will blink.
Select the desired recording mode with the JOG dial.
Either [8 track format] or [4 track format] can be selected
alternately by rotating the JOG dial. Only when the SCSI
drive is used for the current drive, either the [8 track format]
or [4 track format] can be selected. Normally, the [8 track
format] is selected for formatting when recording with the
D-160. Depending on the purpose of the recording, it can
also be formatted in the [4 track format].
After selecting the recording mode, press the
EXECUTE/YES key while pressing the RECORD
button.
Formatting will start in the selected recording mode.
[REMAIN] will be lit during formatting, the disk unformatted
area (capacity) displayed and will count down with progress
of the formatting. After formatting is completed,
[COMPLETED!] will light and the disk will stop.
Exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the EXIT/NO
key (or STOP button).
The display will change to the time base shown prior to
entering the SETUP mode.
InordertoconfirmREMAINuponcompletingtheformatting,
enter the SETUP mode [Drive Sel.?] menu while the E-

mention DAT and adat. In addition to the current drive, when a backup SCSI drive is connected to D-160, the ID
number for the backup SCSI drive must be set to “6” and the disk must be formatted in the backup exclusive recording
mode. Even if the backup disk is loaded in the SCSI drive, the disk information cannot be displayed such as by the
current drive. For this reason, in order to format the backup disk, same as with the aforementioned current SCSI disk
formatting, it must be forcibly executed by the SETUP mode [Disk Format?] menu. In this example, assume that the
current drive and backup drive are connected as shown below and that it is in the time base for the E-IDE hard disk.
< Note>: Adisk intendedfor save/load by WAV file cannotbe formatted by the D-160[Disk Format?] menu. TheWAV file
(DOS format) disk must be formatted beforehand in another computer (PC/AT type).
After switching to the SETUP display by pressing the
DISP SEL key, press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The D-160 will enter the SETUP mode and the display will
change to the SETUP menu which was active prior to switch
OFF of power.
Select the [Disk Format?] menu by rotating the JOG
dial, then press the EXECUTE/YES key.
[IDE] will change to blinking and when the JOG dial is
rotated, the alternately blinking [IDE] and [SCSI 6] can be
easily selected (If a current drive SCSI is also connected,
[SCSI #] (# = ID number of the SCSI drive) will also be
displayed).
After selecting [SCSI 6] with the JOG dial, press the
EXECUTE/YES key again.
Even though an unformatted or formatted disk is loaded in
the SCSI drive, the ID number and drive name will be
displayed and both [?] and [SURE?] will blink.
Then, press the EXECUTE/YES key again.
[Backup format?] will be displayed and both [?] and [SURE?]
will blink. This is an indication that it is in standby for
formatting the backup disk by the [Backup format].
Press the EXECUTE/YES key while pressing the
RECORD button.
Formatting will start in the backup format mode. During
formatting, [REMAIN] will be lit in the display, the disk area
(capacity) not yet formatted will be displayed and count
down will continue with progress of formatting. After
formatting is [COMPLETED!] will be lit and disk will stop.
Exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the EXIT/NO
key (or the STOP button).
The display will change to the current drive time base prior
to entering the SETUP mode.

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0
The preview function enables you to repeatedly audition the rise (fade in) or the fall (fade out) of the sound data
at a locate point (edit point) that is stored in the AUTO PUNCH IN/OUT, AUTO RTN START/END, or CLIPBOARD
IN/OUT key. This is also called “point rehearsal.”
With this function, you can check the locate points in real-time. You can also use this function to fine-tune the
position of the locate points while previewing the sound. This function is effective only when the D-160 is
stopped.
Addition of the Preview function
The D-160 repeats playback of the “fall sound” at the
locate point (edit point). As shown in the diagram, one-
second of data prior to the locate point is played back,
then muted (fade out) at the locate point. The muted
playback continues for one second. The D-160 will repeat
this operation until you quit the Preview function.
The D-160 repeats playback the “rise sound” at the locate
point (edit point). As shown in the diagram, one-second
of data prior to the locate point is muted during
playback. The mute is off (fade in) at the locate point
and the sound is played back for one second.
The D-160 will repeat this operation until you quit the
Preview function.

You can trim the position of the locate point (edit point) using the JOG dial while you preview the sound.
At this time, you can also adjust the size of the trimming steps (the amount of offset controlled by the JOG dial).
Trimming allows you to fine-tune the position of the locate point stored in the memory keys while previewing the
sound. Use this function to change the Auto Punch In/Out points, the start point of Copy & Paste and Move & Paste,
and the start and end points of the Erase function.
1. Start previewing the sound by following the steps
described on the previous page.
2. Use the JOG dial to trim the position.
When previewing starts, the unit of JOG trimming flashes
on the screen. For example, value of SF (sub-frame) flashes
if ABS Time Base or MTC Time Base is selected. CLK (clock)
flashes if BAR/BEAT/CLK is selected. The flashing value
also indicates the position you can trim.
3. To change the unit of trimming, press the HOLD/>

Digital scrubbing using the envelope function
4. Press the RECORD TRACK select key of the desired
record track to select another track.
[Please Wait!] will briefly appear and then go to the
envelope indication of the selected track. The following
example shows the case when the indication is switched
from track 4 to track 8.
You may perform digital scrubbing using the “Envelope Function” of the D-160 while the recorder section is
stopped. The envelope function allows digital scrubbing for each track recorded. The display will show the
envelope indication of the track selected.
1. While the D-160 is stopped, depress the STOP
button and then press the RECORD TRACK select
key of the desired record track.
This turns ON the envelope function. The envelope
indication of the selected track will appear on the
display. The following example shows the indication of
track 4 envelope, after RECORD TRACK select key 4 is
pressed. At this time the recorder section is in the STILL
status (scrub mode is in still status) and the REWIND LED
and F FWD lights up.
2. You can use the JOG dial to digitally scrub the
performance of the track selected.
The envelope of the performance recorded on the track
variates in real-time. During forward direction scrub the
F FWD LED lights up, and during rewind direction scrub
the REWIND LED lights up.
3. Adjust the monitor sound of the selected track so
that it can be monitored on the mixer.
5. Press the STOP button to stop the envelope
function.
Doing so will turn OFF the envelope function. The D-160
will return to the time base indication prior to turning

Addition of the Envelope function
The envelope function is the ability to reproduce in the display the signal level recorded in the real track, and
digital scrub untilizing this function becomes possible. As digital scrub can be executed by selecting any single
real track while D-160 is stopped, the desired point can be accurately confirmed with your eye and ear, and
therefore, quickly located.
The prerequisite of the following operation is that the time base isABS, however, the operation can be executed in any time base. To execute
this function with a non-ABS time base there is a need to priory switch over to the desired time base.

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0
Use of this parameter is explained in the following section.
Enhanced Locate point storage
Now you can store up to 99 Locate points for a simple Locate function using the LOCATE key. The function of
other Memory keys (*) has not changed.
With the previous version, the last Locate data (except for ABS 0 LOCATE and REC END LOCATE) was always
stored in the LOCATE key. This function has been enhanced, and now you can assign any Locate number (01-99)
to the LOCATE key to simply locate the point. The last Locate point is stored in Locate number 00.
Although the procedure for storing the points in the Memory keys has not been changed, part of the indication
on the display has been changed. When you store a Locate point (edit point) in a Memory key, refer to the notes
below.
This addendum explains only how to store Locate data into the LOCATE key. For more information on other
Memory keys, refer to the main User’s Guide.
(*) Memory keys
Memory keys are capable of storing time data for locating or editing points. There are six Memory keys (AUTO PUNCH
IN/OUT, CLIPBOARD IN/OUT, AUTO RTN START/END).
<Notes on storing data to the Memory keys>
Due to the version update, part of the indication on the display has changed. Follow the guideline below when you store
Locate points (edit points) into the Memory keys:
When you press the STORE key to store real-time or edited time data into a Memory key, the following indication
appears. This parameter is used to assign a Locate number to the LOCATE key, and is not related to storing data into
Memory keys. Ignore this indication and press the desired Memory key.
Storing data to the LOCATE key
Up to 99 Locate points (time data) can be stored in the LOCATE key to perform simple Locate functions.
You can assign any Locate number from 01-99 to mange the time data. You may then specify the desired Locate
number to locate the corresponding position in the data. You can also edit this time data to locate a different
point, or store the data into any other Memory key.
<Notes>
• The last Locate data (located via a Memory key or the LOCATE key) is stored as Locate number 00. This means that the
datawill be overwrittenby new dataeach time a point islocated. Therefore, donot use Locatenumber 00 as an independent
Locate data.
• You cannot preview the data stored in the LOCATE key.
• If you wish to use any Time Base other than ABS time, first use the DISP SEL key and EXECUTE/YES key to select the
desired Time Base.
• Stored or edited Locate point data is effective only within the current Program.

New Save/Load function
The upgraded version enables you to save and load data using an E-IDE hard disk or a SCSI device as the
current drive. In this case, may use an external DAT machine, adat, or a backup SCSI device. When you
use a backup SCSI device to save and load data, you can use a DOS-formatted disk to save and load wav
files (RIFF WAVE file format). In this way, you can utilize the D-160 Ver.2.0 data with computer music
software.
Due to the version update, the format was changed and the procedure described in the “Saving and
Loading Song Data” section of the original manual no longer applies. Please refer to the procedure
described in this addendum to save and load song data. Note the followings when you save and load
data using an external DAT machine or adat:
<Notes on saving song data using a DAT or adat>
Refer to the following notes when you save all track data (Real tracks and Additional tracks) using a
DAT or adat.
The duration of the data that can be saved on the disk is calculated based on the duration of the song
data (ABS 0 - REC END) on the Real tracks. Therefore, if you try to save data on anAdditional track that
is longer in duration than the data on the Real track, only that part of theAdditional track (up to the same
time indication of the Real Track) will be saved.
For example, assume that you moved 10-minutes of data on a Real track to an Additional track (using
the Track Exchange function), then you recorded three minutes of data on the same Real track. In this
case, only three minutes of theAdditional track data will be saved. The rest (seven-minutes of data) will
not be saved.
If this happens, set the save time longer (up to 59 minutes and 59 seconds) using the save time editing
procedure (see Step 7 on page 20). Alternatively, move the longest data on the Additional track to a
Real track, then perform the save operation.At this time, be careful not to accidentally erase important
data on the Additional tracks. Refer to the main Owner's Manual for more information on the Track
Exchange function.

Saving the data using DATA OUT
* Restore the initial settings on the D-160.
* Set the same sampling rate on the external digital device and the D-160.
Connecting an external device
Connect DATA OUTPUT 1-8 connector of the D-160 to the digital input connector on the external digital device.
<Notes>
* The D-160 has DATA OUT connectors for an S/P DIF digital signal (OPTICAL) and for an adat
digital signal. These connectors have the same shape but carry different information.
* Use the DATA OUTPUT 1-8 connector to save data. Do not use the DATA OUTPUT 9-16
connector.
* If the external device has only COAXIAL type (RCA) digital I/O connectors, connect an optional COP-1
(optical/coaxial converter) to use an S/P DIF digital signal.
* Connecting both output and input connectors on the D-160 to the input and output connectors on the
external digital device respectively may generate a digital loop.
Setting up an external device
1.Set the same sampling rate to that of the D-160.
2.Select digital input on the external device so that the external device will accept a digital signal.
On some external devices, you may have to set up so that the external device will synchronize with the incoming
digital signal.
<Note>
If the external device does not accept the digital signal or if you notice digital noise, check the connection, cabling,
and the settings of the D-160 and the external device.
* Refer to the instruction manuals that came with any external digital device for details.
Executing the save operation
Use the “Save PGM?” menu in Setup mode.
* Output format available: adat, DAT, SCSI (6)
* Programs available: P01 - P99
* Track available: When using an adat or DAT: Tracks 1-8, Tracks 1-16, Tracks 1-24, Tracks 9-16,
Tracks 9-24, Tracks 17-24;
When using a SCSI disk: All tracks will be automatically selected.
S/P DIF digital signal (or adat digital signal) from the DATA OUT jack of the D-160 is saved. The prerequisite
is that an E-IDE hard disk is used as a current drive.

1.Press the DISP SEL key to select “SETUP”
(“SETUP” will flash), then press the EXECUTE/YES
key. (“SETUP” will light up.)
The D-160 enters Setup mode.
2.Use the JOG dial to select “Save PGM?” (“?” will
flash.).
3.Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The message “Save Device?” and an indication of the
digital signal to be saved (“DAT,” “adat,” or “SCSI”) will
flash on the display.
4.Rotate the JOG dial to select a type of digital signal
format to be used for the save operation.
Selecting “adat” will save data in the adat digital signal
format. Selecting “DAT” will save data in the S/P DIF
digital signal format. Select “SCSI” if you are saving or
loading data via SCSI. The following operation will be
that when "adat" or "DAT" is selected for "Save Device?."
5.Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
Selection of the digital signal format for the save operation
will be confirmed, and the existing Program numbers will
flash on the display.
6.Rotate the JOG dial to select a Program to save.
You can select any existing Program (up to 99) to save.
7.Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The length of the time (ABS 0 - REC END) of the program
recording selected appears and the time shown can be
edited. The time is usually saved according to the time
displayed, however, it is possible to shorten the time to
save at this stage when saving the time. In other words,
though the actual recording may be 9 minutes 00 seconds,
as shown in the example below, that time can be edited
to 5 minutes when saved.
As mentioned in the <Note> above, if the data on the
additional track is longer the time can be set to a longer
time and saved (however, the maximum time that can be
edited is 59 minutes 59 seconds).
8.Press the EXECUTE/YES key again.
“Save Trk ? 1-8” (“1” is flashing) appears on the display
and you can select tracks to save.
While “1” is flashing, rotate the JOG dial to select “1”->
”9”->”17.” To select “8”->”16”->”24,” use the SHUTTLE
or press the HOLD/> key to flash “16” and rotate the JOG
wheel.
9.Select the desired track range using the JOG dial.
You can select 1, 9 and 17 of the points that are flashing
(left). Use the SHUTTLE or HOLD/> key to move the
flashing cursor to the left, then turn the JOG dial to select
8, 16 and 24. You can select track saving combinations
from Tr1-16, Tr1-24, Tr9-16, Tr9-24 and Tr17-24, in
addition to Tr1-8.
<Note>
Refer to the <Note> on page 18 prior to saving data
including the additional track.
11. Confirm that the external device is syncing with
the digital input signal, and start recording on the
external device (DAT or adat).
Setting a START-ID (DAT) or a locate point at the recording
start point will facilitate future loading operations.
12. Confirm that the recording on the external device
has started, and press the EXECUTE/YES key.
(“REMAIN” will light.)
The save operation starts, and the time required for the
save operation appears on the display and a few seconds
later, it will start counting down. This few seconds delay
is due to the pilot signal which is recorded to mark the
beginning of the Program to facilitate future load
operation. Therefore, the actual save operation starts
when counting down starts. Two tracks are saved each
time in the order of Track 1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc. to a DAT
machine. Eight tracks are saved each time in the order of
Track 1-8, 9-16, etc. to an adat machine. The level meter
indication during save of DAT will always be for only
tracks 1 and 2 and always for tracks 1~8 in save of adat.
10. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
“Rec Start DAT!” (Start recording on the DAT) or “Rec
Start adat!” (Start recording on the adat) appears on the
display, and “SURE?” flashes.
13. When data is successfully saved a
"COMPLETED!" message will appear on the
display, and stop the external DAT or adat.
14. Press the STOP button or the EXIT/NO key to quit
the Setup mode.
The display will return to the previous time base
indication.
* To cancel the operation or restore the indication shown before you
pressed the EXECUTE/YES key, press the STOP button or the
EXIT/NO key. Pressing one of these keys repeatedly takes you to
the previous layer, finally quitting the Setup mode, and the display
willreturn tothe previous timebase indication.If you pressthe STOP
button or the EXIT/NO key any time after you execute the save
operationbutbeforeit iscomplete,thesavedsong datawillbeinvalid.
