Main Features of D-160
The D-160 is equipped with the following functions:
* Employs a 3.5 inch E-IDE type removable hard disk system.
With an optional 9041 (1.3GB removable hard disk cartridge),
16-track (plus additional 8 tracks) recording and playback.
Total 240 minutes recording/playback time based on a single
track calculation.
* Non-compression recording/16 bit linear quantization and
sampling rates of 44.1kHz and 48kHz (assignable for each Program
and each playback), achieving true CD quality.
“Adat optical I/O” (switchable to S/P DIF), enables 16-track
simultaneous recording (8 analog, 8 digital). Connecting adat
output (x2) of a digital console and adat optical inputs (x2) of the
D-160 allows for 16-track simultaneous digital recording.
* Employs a new disk management method, “FDMS-3” (Fostex Disk
Management System-3). With this method, only the recorded
part consumes the disk space, which allows highly efficient
multitrack recording.
* Program Change function for managing up to 99 Programs (each
Program title editable).
Non-volatile locate memory for each Program, with a pre-roll time
of 0 - 10 seconds.
* Bar/beat Resolution function for storing memory in Bar/Beat units.
* Significantly improved efficiency with an FL display that features
a high-visibility 16-character indication.
* Erase Program function and Delete Program function, convenient
for efficient song management.
* MIDI IN/OUT/THRU terminals support the output of MIDI clock
and Song Position Pointers via an internal Tempo Map, as well as
support MTC/MMC. They also support advanced recorder control
via FEX (Fostex System Exclusive) for advanced functions. These
terminals, along with the functions to store the MTC output offset
by Bar/Beat, to store 24-hour MTC offset, and to display
external MTC (or LTC), will facilitate configuring an integrated
MIDI environment.
