Export multiple WAV files
When exporting WAV files, clipboard data containing two or
more tracks can now be exported simultaneously as multiple
monaural WAV files.
Change for the TRACK: “Export” tab page (→D1600,
D12; p.87)
Audio track data copied to the clipboard can be output as
WAV files to an external SCSI device or CD-R/RW drive.
When exporting 24-bit mode clipboard data, you can select
either 16 bit or 24 bit. If you select 16 bit at this time, you can
also select whether to apply dithering.
If dithering is applied, quantization noise will be less
noticeable.
When using an external SCSI device (other than the CD-
R/RW), FAT16 DOS format is supported. (refer to
“Format/DOS”)
When exporting a WAV file to CD-R/RW, ISO 9660
level 1 format is supported.
3. Rename ..................................................................
Press the “Rename” button to access the dialog box, and
specify the name of the WAV file. A WAV file name up to 6
characters can be input.
The 7th and 8th characters of the filename will auto-
matically be input with the following characters,
depending on the number of tracks being exported.
MN: When exporting 1 track (monaural file)
ST: When exporting 2 tracks (stereo file)
01: When exporting 4 or more tracks, a number in the range
of 01–16 will be added automatically. (monaural files)

Additional WAV files can be exported successively to a
CD-R/RW, but if this WAV file will be the last one
written, turn this item On.
On some drives such as early CD-ROM drives, the data
cannot be read unless the CD has been finalized.
If there is no more storage space available on the
CD-R/RW media, the finalize operation will be
executed automatically.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
DOS Format and CD-RW Erase
added to the “DiskUtil” tab page
DOS formatting (FAT 16) of an external SCSI device (as
required before WAV files can be exported to the external
device) can now be performed by the D1600/D12 itself.
In addition, the “Erase” button that allows you to erase CD-
RW data in the [SONG] “CDR/RW” tab page has also been
added to the “DiskUtil” tab page, and you can now select
complete erasure/rapid erasure when erasing data.

Add to the SYSTEM: “DiskUtil” tab page
(→D1600, D12; p.79)
4. SelOperation.......[EjectRMD, CheckDrive, Initialize,
Format, LoadSystem, Format/DOS, EraseCD-RW]
Format/DOS: Execute DOS formatting (FAT) on an external
SCSI device.
If you DOS-format a drive that is larger than 4 GB, the
capacity will be a maximum of 4 GB.
When you execute “Format/DOS,” all data on that
drive will be lost.
It is not possible to execute Format/DOS on the drive of
the currently selected song.
5. Exec. ......................................................................
Execute DOS formatting.
5a
5a. Quick SW ......................................... [On, Off]
Select the DOS format type.
On: Select this if the media has already been physically
formatted. Since only the system area need be initialized,
this will not require much time.
Off: Select this when formatting media that has not been
physically formatted.
If “Quick” is turned “Off,” a certain amount of time
will be required for DOS formatting. Executing
Format/DOS on a 100 MB Zip disk with “Quick”
turned “Off” will take approximately 10 minutes.
EraseCD-RW:
Data written to CD-RW media will be erased. If the data has
been erased in this way, the entire capacity of the disc will be
available once again as blank media.
When you execute “EraseCD-RW,” all data on that
media will be erased.
It is not possible to execute “EraseCD-RW” on a drive
other than CD-RW.
5. Exec .......................................................................
Execute erasure of a CD-RW.
5a
5a. Quick SW ......................................... [On/Off]
Select how the CD-RW will be erased.
On: High-speed erasure will be performed on the entire
CD-RW media. Since only track-information data will be
erased, this allows the disc to be erased quickly. This will
not affect rewriting. Normally you will select this setting.
Off: The entire CD-RW media will be erased. All the
written contents will be lost.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Options added to CheckDrive
The Disk utility “CheckDrive” now allows you to choose
from three types: “Full” which checks the entire area,
“CurSng” which checks the currently selected song, and
“Unused” which checks the area available for further
recording.
Change “CheckDrive” in the “DiskUtil” tab page
(’D1600; p.80, D12; p.79)
5a
5a. Area ............................. [Unused, Full, CurSng]
Specify the area that will be checked by the CheckDrive
operation.
Unused: Check and repair the 2 GB of unused area that
will be used next.
Full: Check and repair the entire area.
CurSng: Check and repair the area used by the currently
selected single song.
The CheckDrive command requires a certain
amount of time. If the “Area” is set to “Full,”
approximately the following times will be required
(when using the internal hard disk drive).
6.0 GB: approximately 100 minutes
20 GB: approximately 240 minutes
If the “Disk Busy” message appears even after
CheckDrive has been executed, you will need to
execute the [TRACK] “EditTrk” tab page command
“Optimize Track” to optimize the track data.
Sometimes, ultra-low-frequency sounds such as
occurring in a studio may cause “DiskBusy” errors.

Change in the Track View display
The Track View display has been changed so that it is always
centered on the current time. During playback, audio events
will scroll from right to left. Also, a scale change button has
been added, allowing a wider range to be displayed.
Change the display screen when “TrkView 1-8,”
“TrkView9-16,” or “TrkView1-16” is selected for
“SelectDisplayMode”(→D1600, D12; p.111)
ScaleChangeSW ........................... [(5, 10, 20, 40)]
Change the displayed range for track view. Each time
you press the button, the selection will expand or
contract in the range of 5 sec – 40 sec. The button is
disp ayed as “ ” when expanding and as “ ” when
contracting.
5 sec: The 5 seconds before and after the current location
will be displayed.
10 sec: The 10 seconds before and after the current
location will be displayed.
20 sec: The 20 seconds before and after the current
location will be displayed.
40 sec: The 40 seconds before and after the current
location will be displayed.
The following items have been changed to
improve operability
— Restart button has been added
A Restart button has been added, giving you the option of
restarting when turning the power off. This lets you clear the
Undo data to recover hard disk space, or to re-scan the SCSI
devices.
— Multi-step level meters
The level meters are displayed more smoothly than before.
— Change in counter display specifications for the
waveform screen
When using the tempo track, if the counter is set to measure
display (MBT), it will automatically be changed to time
display (MSM) in the waveform screen. This allows you to
scrub the waveform smoothly.
— Faster locate time for long recording data
Internal sound processing has been optimized, allowing
smoother locate operations for songs with long recording
times.
— Faster processing when a WAV file is previewed a
second time
The file will not be reloaded when you preview a WAV file
that you have already previewed, allowing you to preview it
immediately.
— No change in monitor bus settings when you change
songs
The monitor bus settings will no longer be initialized when
you change songs. This allows settings such as rhythm click
monitoring to be used for other songs as well.
— Note regarding Playback when creating an audio CD
In order to support the new CD-R/RW drive option, the
ability to play an un-finalized CD has been eliminated.
— “DiskChanged” display has been eliminated
A warning message of “DiscChanged” will no longer appear
when you exchange disks while performing CD-related
operations. This allows you to proceed without interruption.
— Changes in the Rename screen
The locations of the alphabet button and numeral button
have been exchanged, allowing you to select the alphabet
button and the “ ” button simply by up/down cursor
operations. This improves operability on the D12.
— Change in cursor movement in the waveform screen
The way in which the cursor moves in the up/down
direction has been changed. When the cursor is at the locate
counter, you can now use up/down cursor operations to
select the time axis expand/contract button. This improves
operability on the D12.

Upgrading the D16
When the D16V2 is upgraded to the D16V3, the following
additions and changes will occur in addition to those
explained above.
If you are upgrading from the D16, so please read “D16V2
Upgrade Guide” as well, since the D16V3 upgrade includes
the contents of the D16V2 upgrade.
— Larger waveform screen
The waveform display area in waveform screens (Scrub,
EditTrk, AutoPunch, Loop) has been increased, allowing you
to edit the waveform more visually. The waveform zoom-in/
out buttons now allow you to view the waveform in finer
detail, down to the level of an individual sample.
— 4x writing when creating an audio CD
— 4x writing when backing up to CD
When using an external CD-R/RW drive to create an audio
CD or backup, you can now use 4x writing. For details refer
to “D1600/D12 additions and changes.” However, since the
D16 and D16V2 can use only external SCSI-connected CD-R/
RW drives, only up to 4x speed is supported.
* Your drive and media must support 4x writing speed.
— Additional error messages
The following error messages have been added.
Can’t Play CD
Could not play an audio CD.
➝ If the CD has not been finalized, finalize the CD before
playing it.
➝ If the CD has been finalized, check the connections of the
drive. If there are no problems with the connections or
operation, try another disc.
Disc Full
When writing an audio CD, there was insufficient space
on the CD.
➝ Write to new CD media.
Track Full
When writing an audio CD, the number of tracks (the
number of songs) written to the CD has exceeded 99
songs.
➝ Write to new CD media.
Write CD Failed
