Addendum for D-160 V ersion 2.0

The software of this product has been upgraded to version 2.0 and the following functions have been added. This addendum describes only the added functions. For information regarding basic operation of the D-160, refer to the main Owner’s Manual.

1. Using a SCSI drive as the current drive, in addition to E-IDE disks. (See page

4.)

In addition to an E-IDE hard disk, you may use an external SCSI device as the current drive. Up to two SCSI drives (current and backup) can be connected to the SCSI terminal on the D-160.

2. Formatting has been changed. (See page 5.)

The format function for the current drive disk (E-IDE or SCSI) and the backup drive disk (SCSI) has been changed.

3. A Preview function has been added, and the RECALL key function has been expanded. (See page 1 1.)

Pressing a Memory key while holding down the RECALL key enables you to preview fade-in or fade-out at a point stored in the corresponding Memory key.

4. The Envelope function has been added, and the STOP button function has been expanded. (See page 13.)

Pressing a RECORD RACK select key while holding down the STOP button enables you to perform digital scrubbing. you can simultaneously check the signal envelope of the corresponding track displayed on the screen.

5. Storing function for the Locate points (edit points) has been updated. (See page 14.)

Now up to 99 (01-99) Locate points can be stored.

6. The Save/Load function for song data has been enhanced. (See page 18.)

You can use a SCSI device as the current drive. This means that you can save and load using a SCSI device, as well as an E-IDE hard disk. You can also use a DOS-formatted backup disk to save and load .wav files (RIFF WAVE file format).

<Note>

Due to version update, the procedure described in the “Saving and Loading Song Data” section of the original manual does not apply any more. Please refer to the procedure on page 18 of this addendum for information on saving and loading song data.

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0

“The SCSI drive and media checked for function” are products that have been selected from the Fostex recommended list. They have been connected to an D-160 and their correct operation confirmed. However, in some cases, there is a subtle difference in performance from unit to unit, even in the same model from the same manufacturer, and therefore, this is not a guarantee of the performance of all recommended products on the list. This is also not a evaluation of the SCSI drive and their performance. The D-160 has two types of “Recording Mode” and there is a limit to the equipment which can be used (Refer to page 5).

Connecting a SCSI device

You may now use a SCSI device (removable or fixed) as the current drive. This section explains how to connect a SCSI device as the current drive, and provides some guidelines. Follow the guidelines below to learn how to use SCSI devices correctly. For more information on the type of SCSI devices that can be used as the current drive, refer to page 3 “List of SCSI drive and media checked for function” in this Manual.

Connections

You can connect a SCSI device to the D-160 Version 2.0 in one of three configurations:

1.Using one SCSI device as the current drive

2.Adding a SCSI device when an E-IDE hard disk is already installed

3.Connecting a backup SCSI device to the current SCSI device

1. Using one SCSI device as the current drive

As shown in the diagram, connect a SCSI device to the SCSI terminal on the D-160 Version 2.0. Be sure to install a SCSI terminator on another SCSI terminal on the SCSI device. (If the SCSI device uses a termination switch, be sure to turn it on.) You can connect only one SCSI device as the current drive. (You may connect an additional SCSI device as a backup drive.) When you turn on the power to the D-160 and the SCSI device, the D-160 will recognize the connected SCSI device as the current drive.

Select any number from 1 to 5 EXCEPT “6” for the ID number of the SCSI device. (ID number “6” should be used for a backup SCSI device.) Earlier versions of the D-160 automatically recognized the ID number set for the backup SCSI device. Therefore, no such restriction was necessary . However , due to a version update, a SCSI device can now be used as a current drive, and this restriction must apply .

2. Adding a SCSI device when an E-IDE hard disk is already installed

Connect a SCSI device to the SCSI terminal on the D-160 Version 2.0. Follow the steps described above to install a SCSI terminator and set the ID number. When you turn on the power to two current drives and the D-160, the D-160 will recognize the connected E-IDE hard disk as the current drive. If you wish to use the SCSI device as the current drive, use the [Drive Sel.?] menu in Setup mode to switch the current drive.

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0

Formatting the BACKUP disk (SCSI disk)

In the D-160, song data recorded in the current drive can be saved /loaded by using the backup SCSI drive disk, not to mention DAT and adat. In addition to the current drive, when a backup SCSI drive is connected to D-160, the ID number for the backup SCSI drive must be set to “6” and the disk must be formatted in the backup exclusive recording mode. Even if the backup disk is loaded in the SCSI drive, the disk information cannot be displayed such as by the current drive. For this reason, in order to format the backup disk, same as with the aforementioned current SCSI disk formatting, it must be forcibly executed by the SETUP mode [Disk Format?] menu. In this example, assume that the current drive and backup drive are connected as shown below and that it is in the time base for the E-IDE hard disk.

< Note>:

(DOS format) disk must be formatted beforehand in another computer (PC/AT type).

Backup SCSI equipment

A disk intended for save/load by WA V file cannot be formatted by the D-160 [Disk Format?] menu. The WA V file

The D-160 plays the fall (fade in) of the sound at the locate point stored in the keys.

Operation

Note:

If data stored in each memory key is in the initial state, all memory keys will be in ABS time 00h 00m 00s. In other words, the program head value is in the memory. Should fade out preview be executed in this condition, the [Void Data !] message and memory data [00h 00m 00s] will alternately flash in the display as a warning. However, for fade in preview, this will function as the memory data [00h 00m 00s] point.

3. Press the STOP button or the EXIT/NO key.

Trimming the sound while previewing

You can trim the position of the locate point (edit point) using the JOG dial while you preview the sound. At this time, you can also adjust the size of the trimming steps (the amount of offset controlled by the JOG dial). Trimming allows you to fine-tune the position of the locate point stored in the memory keys while previewing the sound. Use this function to change the Auto Punch In/Out points, the start point of Copy & Paste and Move & Paste, and the start and end points of the Erase function.

<Notes>

• Y ou can audition the result of trimming during the next preview. That is, if you trim the position while previewing the sound for the first time, you can check the result when you preview the sound next time.

• If the locate point is shifted outside the range of the preview playback as a result of trimming, [Void Data!] and the locate point indication appear alternately . In this case, you cannot use the Preview function. Trim the position again so that it will be within the playback range.

• When Auto Punch mode is turned on and you trim the Auto Punch In or Auto Punch Out point while previewing the sound with [Void Data!] indicated on the display, Auto Punch mode will be cancelled.

1. Start previewing the sound by following the steps described on the previous page.

2. Use the JOG dial to trim the position.

When previewing starts, the unit of JOG trimming flashes on the screen. For example, value of SF (sub-frame) flashes if ABS Time Base or MTC Time Base is selected. CLK (clock) flashes if BAR/BEAT/CLK is selected. The flashing value also indicates the position you can trim.

Example: Time Base is ABS (value of SF flashes.)

Addition of the Envelope function

The envelope function is the ability to reproduce in the display the signal level recorded in the real track, and digital scrub untilizing this function becomes possible. As digital scrub can be executed by selecting any single real track while D-160 is stopped, the desired point can be accurately confirmed with your eye and ear, and therefore, quickly located.

The prerequisite of the following operation is that the time base is ABS, however , the operation can be executed in any time base. To execute this function with a non-ABS time base there is a need to priory switch over to the desired time base.

Digital scrubbing using the envelope function

You may perform digital scrubbing using the “Envelope Function” of the D-160 while the recorder section is stopped. The envelope function allows digital scrubbing for each track recorded. The display will show the envelope indication of the track selected.

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0

Enhanced Locate point storage

Now you can store up to 99 Locate points for a simple Locate function using the LOCATE key. The function of other Memory keys (*) has not changed. With the previous version, the last Locate data (except for ABS 0 LOCATE and REC END LOCATE) was always stored in the LOCATE key. This function has been enhanced, and now you can assign any Locate number (01-99) to the LOCATE key to simply locate the point. The last Locate point is stored in Locate number 00. Although the procedure for storing the points in the Memory keys has not been changed, part of the indication on the display has been changed. When you store a Locate point (edit point) in a Memory key, refer to the notes below. This addendum explains only how to store Locate data into the LOCATE key. For more information on other Memory keys, refer to the main User’s Guide.

(*) Memory keys

Memory keys are capable of storing time data for locating or editing points. There are six Memory keys (AUTO PUNCH IN/OUT , CLIPBOARD IN/OUT, AUTO RTN START/END).

Due to the version update, part of the indication on the display has changed. Follow the guideline below when you store Locate points (edit points) into the Memory keys: When you press the STORE key to store real-time or edited time data into a Memory key, the following indication appears. This parameter is used to assign a Locate number to the LOCA TE key, and is not related to storing data into Memory keys. Ignore this indication and press the desired Memory key .

Use of this parameter is explained in the following section.

Storing data to the LOCATE key

Up to 99 Locate points (time data) can be stored in the LOCATE key to perform simple Locate functions. You can assign any Locate number from 01-99 to mange the time data. You may then specify the desired Locate number to locate the corresponding position in the data. You can also edit this time data to locate a different point, or store the data into any other Memory key.

<Notes>

• The last Locate data (located via a Memory key or the LOCATE key) is stored as Locate number 00. This means that the data will be overwritten by new data each time a point is located. Therefore, do not use Locate number 00 as an independent Locate data.

• You cannot preview the data stored in the LOCA TE key.

• If you wish to use any Time Base other than ABS time, first use the DISP SEL key and EXECUTE/YES key to select the desired Time Base.

• Stored or edited Locate point data is effective only within the current Program.

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0

New Save/Load function

The upgraded version enables you to save and load data using an E-IDE hard disk or a SCSI device as the current drive. In this case, may use an external DAT machine, adat, or a backup SCSI device. When you use a backup SCSI device to save and load data, you can use a DOS-formatted disk to save and load wav files (RIFF WAVE file format). In this way, you can utilize the D-160 Ver.2.0 data with computer music software. Due to the version update, the format was changed and the procedure described in the “Saving and Loading Song Data” section of the original manual no longer applies. Please refer to the procedure described in this addendum to save and load song data. Note the followings when you save and load data using an external DAT machine or adat:

Refer to the following notes when you save all track data (Real tracks and Additional tracks) using a DA T or adat. The duration of the data that can be saved on the disk is calculated based on the duration of the song data (ABS 0 - REC END) on the Real tracks. Therefore, if you try to save data on an Additional track that is longer in duration than the data on the Real track, only that part of the Additional track (up to the same time indication of the Real T rack) will be saved. For example, assume that you moved 10-minutes of data on a Real track to an Additional track (using the T rack Exchange function), then you recorded three minutes of data on the same Real track. In this case, only three minutes of the Additional track data will be saved. The rest (seven-minutes of data) will not be saved. If this happens, set the save time longer (up to 59 minutes and 59 seconds) using the save time editing procedure (see Step 7 on page 20). Alternatively, move the longest data on the Additional track to a Real track, then perform the save operation. At this time, be careful not to accidentally erase important data on the Additional tracks. Refer to the main Owner's Manual for more information on the Track Exchange function.

Additional Tracks 17~24

Saving the data using DATA OUT

S/P DIF digital signal (or adat digital signal) from the DATA OUT jack of the D-160 is saved. The prerequisite is that an E-IDE hard disk is used as a current drive.

* Restore the initial settings on the D-160. * Set the same sampling rate on the external digital device and the D-160.

Connecting an external device

Connect DATA OUTPUT 1-8 connector of the D-160 to the digital input connector on the external digital device.

<Notes>

* The D-160 has DATA OUT connectors for an S/P DIF digital signal (OPTICAL) and for an adat

digital signal. These connectors have the same shape but carry different information.

* Use the DATA OUTPUT 1-8 connector to save data. Do not use the DATA OUTPUT 9-16

connector.

* Connecting both output and input connectors on the D-160 to the input and output connectors on the external digital device respectively may generate a digital loop.

Setting up an external device

1.Set the same sampling rate to that of the D-160.

2.Select digital input on the external device so that the external device will accept a digital signal.

On some external devices, you may have to set up so that the external device will synchronize with the incoming digital signal.

<Note>

If the external device does not accept the digital signal or if you notice digital noise, check the connection, cabling, and the settings of the D-160 and the external device.

* Refer to the instruction manuals that came with any external digital device for details.

Executing the save operation

Use the “Save PGM?” menu in Setup mode.

* Output format available: adat, DAT, SCSI (6) * Programs available: P01 - P99 * Track available: When using an adat or DAT: Tracks 1-8, Tracks 1-16, Tracks 1-24, Tracks 9-16,

Tracks 9-24, Tracks 17-24; When using a SCSI disk: All tracks will be automatically selected.

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0

Loading the data using DATA IN

Load the data by S/P DIF digital signals (or adat digital signals) from the DATA IN jack of the D-160. The prerequisite is that an E-IDE hard disk is the current drive, as in the save conditions mentioned earlier.

* Restore the initial settings on the D-160. * Set the same sampling rate on the external digital device and the D-160.

Connecting the external device

Connect DATA INPUT 1-8 connectors of the D-160 to the digital output connectors on the external digital device.

<Notes>

* The D-160 has DATA INPUT 1-8 connectors for an S/P DIF digital signal (OPTICAL) and for an

adat digital signal. These connectors have the same shape but carry different information. * Use the DATA INPUT 1-8 connector to load data. Do not use the DATA INPUT 9-16 connector. * Do not remove the optical cable or perform any other operation that would disconnect the S/P

DIF signal until the session is complete. Otherwise, the D-160 will generate noise, and affect the

connected device.

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0

Saving the data using SCSI

This procedure will SAVE/LOAD using a SCSI hard disk that is a backup disk. A backup purpose SCSI hard disk is generally used after formatted in the backup format, however, a DOS formatted (computer format) SCSI hard disk can also be used to SAVE/LOAD in WAV. Data saved in WAV can be re-loaded and even directly be read by the computer. Therefore, this kind of data can be used as music software, as well. The prerequisite is that an E-IDE hard disk is the current drive as mentioned in the save section using a DAT or adat device.

About SCSI device

Be sure to use a drive and a disk with operation guaranteed by Fostex. For more information on disks supported by the D-160, refer to page 5 "Changed Format function" in this manual.

<Note>

These SCSI devices have already been tested for performance at Fostex. However, any product lot includes variance in quality. The test at Fostex does not include inspection for such variance. When you use external SCSI devices, check the operation carefully. Fostex is not liable for any damage (data loss or damage) caused by using the D-160 with external SCSI devices.

Connecting a SCSI device

Refer to the diagram to connect a SCSI device to a D-160.

* Before making connections, make sure that both the D-160 and the SCSI drive are turned off. * Up two SCSI drives may be connected on a SCSI chain with the D-160.

Connect one SCSI drive as a "current drive" for real-time recording/playback. (Refer to "SCSI ID number setting" below.)

* The SCSI connector on the D-160 is a 25-pin connector compatible with Macintosh computers.

Use a cable with connectors that conform to the standards for connecting a SCSI drive.

* The last SCSI drive on the SCSI chain should be terminated. Install a SCSI terminator, or turn the termination

switch to "on" if the drive has a termination switch (like a zip drive).

* Be sure to set the SCSI ID number for the SCSI drive correctly, according to the purpose of the drive (as a

current drive or a back-up drive). The ID setting is very important.

Using the SCSI drive as a current drive Select any number from 0 to 5, but not "6." Using the SCSI drive as a back-up drive Select "6."

* You must format the SCSI disk after you connect it to the D-160. Refer to the “Formatting” section on the next page

for the formatting procedure.

Be sure the install the SCSI terminator.

Formatting a SCSI disk

An unformatted disk or a disk used with the computer can also be used. Check to see that the data on the disk is no longer necessary prior to formatting a disk that was previously used with the computer. Once formatting is started it cannot be stopped. The formatting process will erase all data. Be especially careful not to erase the data that you still need. The prerequisite here is that a removable disk is used. The same procedures apply for a fixed SCSI hard disk, as well.

1.Connect the SCSI device to the D-160 and turn the power on to the both machines.

2.If you are using a removable disk, insert the disk into the drive.

3.Press the DISP SEL key to select the Setup mode, and press the EXECUTE/YES key.

Press the eject switch on the SCSI drive to remove the disk from the SCSI drive after the program has been successfully saved.

The instructions on the left was based on use of disks that were already formatted for backup use, when saving programs using several disks.

It is recommended that all the disks to save data on are already formatted prior to the save process. However, there may be times that you will unexpectedly not have enough formatted disks during the save process thus, forcing you to use an "unformatted disk" or a "used disk" that already has other data saved on it. Observe the respective procedures described when inserting the disk according to the [Insert Disk 2] or [Insert Disk 3] message that prompts you to "Insert another disk!!" as shown in the instructions on the left.

Song data will be loaded to the selected Program. If, for example, backup 1 is started for Program 1, then "B01>>P1 ***MB" will appear, "REMAIN" lights up, load proceeds, and "***MB (program size)" is counted down, when individual programs are loaded.

If the EXECUTE/YES key is pressed to load all programs, then the display will show "Delete ALL PGM?". Loading is started when the EXECUTE/YES key is pressed again.

When the load operation is complete, “COMPLETED!” will light and the D-160 will display the Time Base that was shown before the unit entered the Setup mode.

9.Press the STOP button or the EXECUTE/YES key, and “COMPLETED!” will turn off.

<Note>

You cannot abort a load operation on a SCSI device while it is in progress.

* If you have selected “Load All?(**/**):

The D-160 will indicate the destination Program number on the internal hard disk. Use the JOG dial to select a desired destination Program number into which to load data. If the destination hard disk already contains data and you select a Program, “DEL” (Delete) appears following the Program number.

Loading data saved on several removable disks

As an example here, we will load the data of a Program saved onto two removable disks.

1.Insert the first disk (Disk-1) into the SCSI device.

<Note>

Make sure that you insert the disks in the correct order. If you insert the wrong disk, the D-160 displays [Wrong disk] -> [Illegal No!] and ejects the disk. Follow the disk markings you made during the save operation.

2.Follow Steps 1-4 of the “Loading Song data” procedure.

3.Select “SCSI” and press the EXECUTE/YES key. (“LOAD” lights up).

The external digital device is set to “SCSI”. The display flashes the number of the existing Backup data in the SCSI disk, and then indicates that the first disk has been inserted.

When Disk 1 loading is completed, an "Insert Disk 2" message appears, and Disk 1 is automatically ejected.

6.Insert Disk 2 (second disk) into the SCSI hard disk drive according to what the display requests.

Loading automatically resumes when Disk 2 is inserted.

The display will show the same count down as shown for Disk 1. The size of the program is counted down along with the load process. When all data is loaded, "COMPLETED!" lights up, and the program time base (ABS 0) started up prior to going into the SETUP mode will appear.

The "COMPLETED!" prompt can be canceled by pressing the EXIT/NO key or STOP button.

<Note>

You cannot abort a load operation on a SCSI device while it is in progress.

4.Press the EXECUTE/YES key after "B01[#0001]D1" appears.

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0

Saving or loading using a SCSI hard disk as the current drive

The [SAVE/LOAD] process described up to the previous page is based on the prerequisite that an E-IDE hard disk is used as the current drive. This section will describe the procedures necessary for the SAVE/LOAD process when using a SCSI drive as the current drive.

SAVE/LOAD procedures using a SCSI drive, DAT, adat or backup purpose SCSI drive as the current drive are basically the same as when using an E-IDE hard disk. However, you must be careful of the following points when using a SCSI drive as the current drive.

Backup drive connections

Connect the backup purpose SCSI disk to the other open SCSI terminal of the SCSI device that is already connected as the current drive, as shown in the figure below. (there is no specific chronological order concerned when connecting the equipment)

SCSI device #2

SCSI device #1

DATA

9 - 16 1 - 8 9 - 16

OPTICAL

OUTPUTINPUT

1 - 8

SCSI MIDI

INPUT OUTPUT THRU

<Note>

Always terminate the empty SCSI terminal of the second SCSI device using a SCSI terminator when connecting a second SCSI device. Leave the termination switch ON if the Zip or other SCSI devices are switched type systems. When using a switched SCSI device for both the current drive and backup drive, turn the switch OFF for the first device and the switch ON for the second device.

Set the SCSI devices that is the current drive with ID numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Do not use ID number 6 for the current drive. Always assign the backup equipment to ID number "6".

Switching the current drive

The current drive can be mounted with the SCSI device by turning on the power if only a SCSI device is used as the current drive (no E-IDE hard disk mounted). However, if both E-IDE hard disk and SCSI devices are used, the E-IDE hard disk always mounts as the current drive when the power is turned ON. Based on this fact, to SAVE/LOAD data recorded on the current drive that is a SCSI device, there is a need to switch the current drive to the SCSI device through the "Drive Sel.?" (current drive setup) menu in the SETUP mode. Check to see that the display resembles the following figure prior to proceeding with the SAVE/LOAD process.

ABS

0 3 6

18 24 30 42

44.1kHz

<Note>

If the current drive is an E-IDE harddisk then the program displayed during the SAVE/LOAD process will come with a [P] (standing for Program) prefix, in the manner of P01, P02, etc.

If the current drive is a SCSI device then the program displayed during the SAVE/LOAD process is differentiated with a [S] (standing for SCSI) prefix, in the manner of S01, S02, etc.

Further, in the case of a backup purpose SCSI device the prefix will be a [B] (standing for backup) prefix, in the manner of B01, B02, etc.

Keep this in mind when executing "SAVE/LOAD" operations as mentioned earlier.

Page 31

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0

SAVE/LOAD using a DOS-formatted disk (WAV file)

As mentioned earlier in the SAVE/LOAD procedures using a SCSI disk, you can setup the D-160 with a DOSformatted disk, in addition to the usual backup disk, to SAVE/LOAD in WAVE file (RIFF WAVE file format, hereafter WAV). Data saved or loaded in WAV file allows the user to save and re-read data as in the earlier case of "SAVE/LOAD". The data saved is read into the computer (PC AT) and can be used as materials to play or edit using music software that run WAV.

The D-160 does not have the function to format disks in DOS from the "Disk Format?" menu in the SETUP mode. Therefore, all disks used to save or load WAV must be pre-formatted on the computer prior to use. When formatting in DOS format a removable disk or a fixed disk with more than 2GB space you may have to select a file format of either [FAT16] or [FAT32]. The D-160 is only compatible with the [FAT16] file format. Make a point to select only the [FAT16] file format when formatting a disk. Note that disks that are formatted in [FAT16] can only have up to a maximum of 2GB of space in one area. This means, that regardless of how much disk space there is, the D-160 can only recognize data up to 2GB in size. Also note that saving and loading in WAV is not compatible with partitioning. Therefore, the system will only recognize the first partition of hard disks that have been partitioned. The other partitions will not be recognized at all.

To save or load in WAV, always use a disk that has been newly formatted. Using a disk that has been previously saved or loaded may result in slower access speed.

Saving and loading in WAV only accesses the file on the route and therefore, the folder is not recognized. Note that there is a limit to the number of characters and symbols that can be input for the title since DOS file names only allow for 8 characters and an extension (.WAV) and cannot accommodate long file names. Therefore the title input on the current drive may be replaced with other characters/symbols when saved. It is important to input a recognizable title when saving the file. (For more details refer to "How To Save" operations described below)

WAV file names are identified with a 6 character file name, with the remaining 2 characters indicating the track number (equaling 8 characters). The track number is automatically assigned when the file is saved.

When saving one program (song) in WAV, 24 WAV files as shown in the figure below are created (1 file for 1 track). Files like that shown in the figure below are created for tracks that are not recorded, as well. ###### (6 characters) indicates the title name and 01, 02 indicates the track number. (Example: icon indication)

###### 01.WAV

###### 02.WAV

###### 24.WAV

It is recommended that you always backup the data on the current drive prior to saving or loading on a DOS formatted disk to prevent damaging or losing the data due to error taking place on the D-160.

Saving in WAV also saves the silent range as "Zero Data", therefore, it may take more disk space. If, for example, 2 minutes of space are recorded, with a breakdown of 1 minute between the points ABS 0" to ABS 1", and 1 minute between ABS 10" to ABS 11" (ABS 1 minutes to 10 minutes are not recorded), only 2 minutes worth of space are consumed on the current drive, however in WAV, a total of 11 minutes of space is consumed.

Page 32

Addendum for D-160 Version 2.0

As it was already mentioned earlier, saving files in WAV will save all the program data on the current drive. If the saved titles of the files on tracks 1-24 are the same, all data of the track can be loaded, as in the case with the save function. It is also possible to load only the voluntary track data saved with WAV.

This, for example, means that a voluntary track from the track data saved can be edited with computer software and allow for you to load only that track data. Simply put, data can be freely loaded in such manner.

To make this possible the title name of the file and the extension (.WAV) mentioned earlier play an important role. Remember, WAV recognizes a file by the 6 character title plus the 2 digit track number, along with the extension following the (8 character) file name. Therefore, those identifiers can be changed so that the file is not recognized. (Refer to following example)

Let's, for example change the title name of the files for track 1-8, of the files saved (all title names are the same) as shown in the left figure.

Group 1

###### 01.WAV

<Note>:

###### 09.WAV

###### 17.WAV

###### 02.WAV

###### 10.WAV

###### 18.WAV

###### 08.WAV

###### 16.WAV

Group 2

###### 24.WAV

Do not use a disk created with folders in such manner, for save purposes. If you do, there will be an error generated in the remaining disk space when saving data, which will prevent the data from being saved properly. When using such disk for save purposes always take the file out of the folder.

This means it is now possible to individually select Group 1 and Group 2 when loading the file. If, for example, you want to load only the data of tracks 1-8, select Group 1. If you want to load only tracks 9-24, then select Group 2 to execute the process. If you want to save each track individually, all you have to do is give respective titles to each track, in a similar manner.

There is also the option to store a file that you do not want to load in a folder that was separately created in addition to this, on the disk. WAV only recognizes the files on the disk and does not recognize a folder, therefore WAV can only load the files that are outside the folders.

When loading with WAV, data is overwritten while being loaded. If data already exists as a program on the current drive, then the existing data will be overwritten for the amount of the data loaded.

You can also effectively use this feature when loading a similar program on the program saved, since it is possible to edit only the voluntary track on the computer and then load that data back to the original program. If for example, you want to load the data of only tracks 1-8 on a program that is already recorded with data of tracks 1-24, then only tracks 1-8 that are loaded are overwritten, and the previous data of tracks 9-24 remain intact. However, there is a need to be very careful when applying this procedure to load different programs since the loaded program result in a mixture of different data.

Saving with WAV file...

The following procedure is based on the prerequisite that the backup purpose SCSI drive is set with a DOS formatted disk and the current drive is an E-IDE disk.

1. Press the DISP SEL key to go to the "SETUP" menu, then press the EXECUTE/YES key.

This will put you in the SETUP mode.

2. Select "Save PGM?" ("?" is flashing) with the JOG dial, then press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The digital signal that is currently set to be saved flashes.

3. Use the JOG dial to select "SCSI 6" that is flashing then press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The [Drive Name] and [DOS format] appears, then the program number of the current drive flashes as when saving to a SCSI disk, as mentioned earlier.

4. Use the JOG dial to select the program to save.

When selecting a program that can be saved on one disk, only the program number flashes.

When selecting a program that requires multiple disks to be saved on, the program number flashes, along with the size indication and the number of disks required to save the data that will alternately flash. There is no "Save All" option when saving with WAV. If only one program that can be selected exists, the indication will remain the same even if the JOG dial is turned.

5. After selecting the program to save, press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The indication to create a new program appears on the DOS disk that is the save site, then [SURE?] flashes. You can select [Eject] (eject disk) by turning the JOG dial at this time.

You can move the flashing point (cursor) with the HOLD/> key or SHUTTLE dial. Refer to the <Note> mentioned earlier, to input the title.

<Note>

WAV can only recognize 6 characters in a title. Always create a title with 6 characters. If you attempt to save a long title that was input on the current drive, the alphabet and symbols may be replaced with alphabets and symbols that WAV can recognize (within WAV's limit), with only up to 6 characters being valid. If, for example, a title was made in lower case on the current drive, it may be replaced with upper case characters on WAV.

You can input the following alphanumerics and symbols at this stage.

Number: 0-9 Symbol: ! # $ % & ' ( ) @ ˆ _ Alphabet: A-Z

7. Input the title then press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The title is saved and the following indication appears. The following example may appear depending on the current drive. The save progress and the size indication is counted down.

The instructions indicated above apply to a disk without any data saved on it (immediately after formatting). However, when using a disk with data already on it, the program saved can be selected in the following manner.

By turning the JOG dial the program, New PGM and Eject operations of the save side can alternately be selected.

This refers to creation of a new program on the disk. However, it indicates that there is not enough disk space "indicated" to create a new program. If save is attempted by selecting this indication a [Disk Full!] message appears, followed by a [Delete All WAV?] message. If you proceed with the save process all programs on the disk are erased, and only the new data is saved. ALL Programs data on the disk are erased and the newly saved data only is saved on the disk.

This indicates that there is not enough space "indicated" to save the program selected. If save is attempted by selecting this indication a [Disk Full!] message appears, followed by a [Delete All WAV?] message. If you proceed with the save process all programs on the disk are erased, and only the new data is saved. ALL Programs data on the disk are erased and the newly saved data only is saved on the disk.

This indicates that there is enough space on the disk to save the program selected. If save is attempted by selecting this indication, a [DEL] indication appears after the Program indication. Saving in such manner will erase only the selected programs, while saving. In other words, only the selected data is overwritten with new data and the other programs remain intact.

Loading with WAV file

The following procedures are based on the prerequisite that the backup purpose SCSI drive is set with a disk saved in WAV, with a current drive that is an E-IDE harddisk.

When data that is already saved is edited on the computer and then saved on the computer, be careful of any changes in the title. It is possible to completely load the files of all tracks if the title name remain the same as when they were saved. However, if due to some reason a voluntary file is attempted to be saved under a different title name, the D-160 will recognize this as multiple files, as described earlier. Before changing the title, always check to see that the title only consists 6 characters, that the track number is correctly input, and the title comes with an "extension" (.WAV), prior to loading. The file cannot be recognized when loading the file if the title is longer than 6 characters, the track number is incorrect, or if the title contains no extension. Therefore, it is important that these prerequisites are properly observed.

###### 01.WAV

###### 02.WAV

###### 24.WAV

You must use the following symbols and alphanumerics to use the computer to input the title name of the data saved. If you use any alphanumerics or symbols other than those indicated below, the file on the disk may not be recognized. It is important that you do not use any spaces between characters, as well.

Number: 0-9 Symbol: ! # $ % & ' ( ) @ ˆ _ Alphabet: A-Z

<Hint!>

You can switch tracks upon loading if the track number (only) is changed prior to loading while the title remains the same, as when conducting Track Exchange. For example, if you change [******02.WAV] to [******05.WAV], and change [******05.WAV] to [******02.WAV] and attempt loading, tracks 2 and 5 will be replaced with each other.

1. Press the DISP SEL key to go to the "SETUP" menu,

then press the EXECUTE/YES key.

This will put you in the SETUP mode.

2. Select "Load PGM?" ("?" is flashing) with the JOG dial, then press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The digital signal that is currently set to be loaded flashes.

3. Use the JOG dial to select "SCSI 6" that is flashing then press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The [Drive Name] and [DOS format] appears, then the program size saved appears and [SURE?] flashes.

4. Use the JOG dial to select the program to load.

If there are several programs saved on the disk, use the JOG dial to select the Program/Size of the program saved or select [Eject] to eject the disk. If there is only 1 program saved on the disk, you can only select the Program or [Eject] option even if the JOG dial is turned for other choices.

5. After selecting the program to load, press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The indication to create a new program appears on the load destination E-IDE harddisk and [SURE?] flashes. You can select the Program/Size of the files existing on the E-IDE harddisk by turning the JOG dial at this time.
