<Note>
The D-160 will still run the time counter in PLAY mode even after the ABS END. Thus, it will
continue generating the MTC even if you have not recorded anything.
2-10. MTC Offset Time Setting (“MTC Offset”)
If you choose the MTC as the MIDI sync signal in the previous section “2-8. MIDI Sync
Signal Output Setting”, you need to set up this mode.
You can set up the offset time between the MTC output and internal ABS time.
In the case of the initial setting, MTC will output 00h 59m 57s 00f 00sf at the ABS 00h
00m 00s 00f 00sf point which is ABS 0. You can also set the MTC offset based on the
001BAR 1BEAT 00CLK position rather than ABS 0.
Refer to the next section “2-11. MTC Offset Mode Setting” for details.
* See “Before Operation” section “3. Time base” for the time relation between MTC and
ABS or BAR/BEAT/CLK.
* See page "120" MIDI synchronization function for details of the MTC sync.
* Initial setting : 00h 59m 57s 00f 00sf
* Available setting : 00h 00m 00s 00f 00sf ~ 23h 59m 59s 29f 99sf
* This setting is applicable song by song.
* This setting can be saved or loaded as a part of the song data.
* The setting is memorized even when the power is off.
* Make sure to choose the right program before setting up this mode.
1. Press the DISP SEL key and choose the flashing SETUP mode on the display. Then, press the
EXECUTE/YES key.
The SETUP display will stop flashing.
2. With the JOG dial, choose “OFFSET”.
The display will show the current setting. In the case of initial setting, it will show 00h 59m 57s
00f 00sf.
3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The “s” , second digits, display will start flashing which is asking you to specify the second digit
of the offset time you want.

4. Use either the HOLD/> key or SHUTTLE dial to choose time digits, i.e. “h”, “m”, “s”, “f”, “sf”.
Then, use the JOG dial to enter the required time value that you want to register.
The available setting is from 00h 00m 00s 00f 00sf to 23h 59m 59s 29f 99sf.
5. Press the EXECUTE/YES key after you have entered the required Offset.
The MTC Offset will now be registered and the display will then go back to Item 2 above.
* Press either the “STOP” button or EXIT/NO key to return from the second step menu to the
first or to quit SETUP mode. The menu will go backwards each time you press either key.
<Note>
We recommend you set about three seconds of preroll time because in the MTC OFFSET of
00h 59m 57s rather than 01h 00m 00s, considering the preparation time to start the external
sequencer in the event that you have chosen “ABS” in the MTC OFFSET mode.
