OTHER IMPROVEMENTS

Signal processing of PITCH CORRECTOR effect type improved.
Even when the effect type of Pitch Corrector is selected, the multiple FX channels and/or the selection of other effect types can now be used simultaneously, as other effect types.
Remain time display improved.
With the large capacity disks, the remaining time longer than 24 hours can now be displayed properly. The time over 100 hours will be displayed without the minute display, e.g. 123h, however.
MTC Slave Sync operation changed.
The operation in MTC Slave sync mode has been changed. The external MTC signal is accepted only while the DPS16 is in Play-standby mode (pressing the PLAY key makes the PLAY LED to flash) or in Record-standby mode (pressing the PLAY key while holding the REC key down makes the REC and PLAY LED’s to flash) and the play/record is initiated when the proper MTC signal is received. On the contrary , when the MTC signal is introduced while the
DPS16 is in stop mode, the MTC signal is ignored and the DPS16 will remain in stop mode.
NOTE: When the MTC Slave mode is enabled (ON) by pressing the [F2] key, it will go into Play­standby mode with flashing PLAY LED. T o disable the MTC Slave mode (OFF), it is necessary to press the STOP key before pressing the
[F2] key when the DPS16 is in either Play-standby mode or Record-standby mode.
