Fostex VF160EX - Manual (Page 90)

90
By setting any desired meter at any desired point of the programmable tempo map contained in the VF160EX, and
by output of a MIDI clock and song position pointer according to the setting, a hardware type MIDI sequencer can
be synchronized as a MIDI clock slave. Consequently, in this system, the VF160EX will be the master and the MIDI
sequencer the slave.
Check adat signal and adjust monitor
1. Press the [RECORD] key.
All tracks go to the input monitor status.
If signals are input from the VC-8 (or D824mkII) in this state,
the input level appears on the level meters 1-8.
To monitor the adat signals, turn the ch1-ch8 channel
fader up to "
0 ", and then turn up the [MON OUT] knob or
[PHONES] knob.
There is no need to adjust the REC level on the VF160EX.
The channel fader procedures only adjust the monitor
sound.
Setting the analog input signal setting
1. Set the channel fader of ch9 - ch16 to "0".
2. Adjust the input level with the [TRIM] for which each
sound source is input.
Fine tune the input with the channel fader if necessary.
The monitor sound can also be heard at this time.
Starting to record
1. To start recording, press the [PLAY] key while the
[RECORD] key is depressed.
When recording starts, the adat digital signals from VC-8
(or D824mkII) are input along with the signal input of the
analog sound source.
This allows recording of 8 analog signals (8 channels) and
8 adat digital signals (8 channels) for recording on 16
tracks at the same time.
Setting the VC-8 or D824mkII
1. Set the VC-8 or D824mkII so it outputs adat digital signals.
For more details refer to the VC-8 or D824mkII User's
Manual.
Setting "Digital In" on the VF160EX
1. Set the "Digital In" menu in the SETUP mode to "adat".
For more details refer to the SETUP mode on page 141.
REC Track and Master Fader settings
1. Press the [INPUT SEL] key.
Check to see that ch9-ch16 are set to “ TRK (Track)”.
If there is any channel that is set to “ IN (Input)” switch it
to “ TRK ”.
2. Press the [DIRECT-REC TRK] key, so all tracks are
READY.
The REC track selected will appear on the display.
3. Press the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of ch1-ch16 so all
tracks are READY.
Now the adat digital signals (ch1-ch8) from VC-8 (or
D824mkII) are recorded on tracks 1-8 and the input
signals from
[INPUT] A to H are recorded on tracks 9-16.
4. Press the [EXIT/NO] key and return to the Normal
Display.
If normal adat digital signals from VC-8 (or D824mkII) are
input into VF160EX, “
” lights up on the Normal
Display.
5. Set the master fader to "0".
