Introduction
About this manual
This manual explains the new functions and improvements that have been added to the D16 in Version 2.
Since the explanations are given in order of the contents
of the “D16 Owner’s Manual,” you will need to read
this manual in conjunction with the “D16 Owner’s
Manual.”
Printing conventions in this manual
This manual uses the same conventions described on
p.2 “Printing conventions in this manual” of the “D16
Owner’s Manual.”
Other conventions are as follows.
(→D16 p.■■): This indicates a reference page in the
“D16 Owner’s Manual.”
The D16 upgrade
Refer to p.107 “Updating the system software” in the
D16 Owner’s Manual for details on the system
upgrade.
Major new functions
Fade Track
A new Fade Track command has been added to track
editing, allowing audio data recorded on a track to be
faded-in or faded-out. Track groups can also be edited
in this fashion, to easily create a total song fade-in/out.
By using fade-in and fade-out in conjunction, you can
also create crossfades.
Normalize Track
A new Normalize Track command has been added to
track editing.
This allows the level of audio data recorded at an unintentionally low level to be boosted to a more appropriate level.
Sort scenes by time
Scenes are normally arranged in the order in which
they were stored/created, but you can now use a “Sort”
button to rearrange them in the order of their time locations.
Scene “EdtFiltr” button has been added
An “EdtFiltr” button has been added to the [SCENE]
“ReadDel” tab page. By pressing this button you can
view and modify the filter settings that have been
recorded for each scene.
Backup/restore on CD-R/RW
A CD-R or CD-RW drive connected to the [SCSI] connector can be used to backup and restore D16V2 song
data.
Restore D8 song data
Audio data which has been stored on an external SCSI
drive by the D8
to the D16V2 for playback and further editing.
Import and export WAV files
WAV format audio files can be loaded from a DOS format (FAT 16) external drive connected to the [SCSI]
connector into a D16V2 song. Audio data from the clipboard of the D16V2 can now be exported to a DOS format (FAT 16) external SCSI drive as a WAV format
audio file.
MTC slave, MMC transmission
The D16V2 can receive and synchronize to MTC (MIDI
Time Code) transmitted from another D16V2 or external sequencer. MMC (MIDI Machine Control) message
can now be received, allowing the D16V2 to be controlled by a connected external MMC-compatible
device.
This makes it possible for two D16V2 units to be operated in synchronization.
MIDI control of mixer parameters
Mixer data (fader and pan etc.) of the D16V2 can be
transmitted and received via MIDI control change messages.
This allows the D16V2 to be controlled by automation
from an external MIDI sequencer.
Digital Recording Studio
can be restored
Guide indicator added to scene “MixView” page
A guide indicator has been added to the “MixView” tab
page, showing the difference between the current setting of the selected fader or pan, and the value recorded
in the scene.
Selectable undo levels
The number of undo levels had been fixed at 99 in the
previous version, but now you can select from 1, 8, or
99 levels.
By setting this to a lower level than 99, you can avoid
creating unwanted undo data, and make more effective
use of the hard disk capacity.
“Erase” button added to the “CDR/RW” page
Data such as audio tracks written to a CD-RW disc can
now be erased.
Changes to the “Rename” page
“Insert,” “Delete,” and “BackSpace” buttons have been
added.
These additions make it much easier to use the
"Rename" function.
Forcible initialization for a protected song
A “Force” button has been added, allowing you to forcibly initialize even a protected song. This is helpful
when choosing to initialize a drive after you have
backed up your song data, avoiding having to unprotect each song individually.

Main changes from the D16
Tempo map creation (specification change)
When you create a tempo map in the [TEMPO/
RHYTHM] “TmpMap” tab page, you can now specify
the beginning and end measures of the tempo map,
making it easier to manage the tempo map by measures. An “Insert” button has also been added, making
it easier to edit a previously-created tempo map.
[STOP] + [FF] (specification change)
By holding down the [STOP] key and pressing the [FF]
key, you can easily select the end of the song.
In the middle of the song, you can hold down the
[STOP] key and press the [FF] key to move to the end of
the song. At the end of the song, you can hold down the
[STOP] key and press the [FF] key to move to the beginning of the next song.
Rhythm level control (specification change)
The “Mute” button in the [TEMPO/RHYTHM]
“SetUp” tab page and the “RhythmLevel” button in the
[Solo] “Monitor” tab page have been deleted.
This lets you adjust the “Rhythm” level and on/off setting in a single page, by using “Vol” in the [TEMPO]
“SetUp” tab page.
You can also use the “Rhythm” button in the [Solo]
“Monitor” tab page as a master and monitor on/off
switch for the rhythm sound.
Optimize track (change)
This has been changed so that unneeded sound is not
generated if a track, or specified region is blank. If the
next event is not far away, the track will be generated as
a single piece of sound data to avoid “DiskBusy” indications.
Insert effect routing (specification change)
In the [INSERT EFFECT] “InsAss” tab page when
“Assign” is set to “In,” the “SelectInput” (input) setting
is now disabled. This makes the input setting match the
setting of [Input] “Ch1-8” and “Ch 9-16,” making the
signal easier to manage.
Improved “locate” operation in the Track View display
Y ou can move smoothly through time in the Track V iew
display by rapidly turning the [VALUE] knob.
• In the [SYSTEM] “Control” page, the symbol indicating that the foot switch is pressed has been changed
from * to .
• Due to the addition of the [SYSTEM] “MMC” page,
the location of the [SYSTEM] “DiskUtil” page has
changed from P4 to P6.

p.36–
Fade Track and Normalize Track commands have been
added to “Track editing.”
Fade-in/Fade-out: Fade Track
This command creates a fade-in or fade-out in the
selected region ( IN – OUT ) of the recorded track data.
You can also create crossfades by combining fade-in
and fade-out for identical regions in two tracks.
• You can fade-in or fade-out the IN – OUT region.
• A single or multiple tracks of data can be faded-in or
faded-out simultaneously.
Boosting to an appropriate level: Normalize Track
If the recorded level is too low, you can use this command to boost the selected region (IN–
data to the maximum level that will not cause clipping.
• The peak value of the audio data in the IN–
region is detected, and the level of the entire IN–
OUT
region is boosted as far as possible without
causing the peak value to clip.
• The data of a single track or of adjacent tracks can be
normalized simultaneously.
If data that was recorded at an extremely low level
is normalized, any noise component it contains will
be boosted by the same amount.

The D16V2 lets you use MIDI to do the following
things.
• Control effects ( → D16 p.33)
• Synchronize with a sequencer or other MIDI device
• Select scenes (→D16 p.67)
• Use control changes to control mixer parameters.
5. ControlChange: Recv..................................[On, Off]
This enables reception of control change messages.
By receiving control changes that were previously
recorded on a MIDI sequencer, you can control the corresponding mixer parameters. For details on the
parameters that can be controlled, refer to the MIDI
implementation chart (→p.21).

By synchronizing the D16V2 and an external MIDI
sequencer, you can simultaneously play back 16 tracks
of audio together with external MIDI tone generators.
The action of making the D16V2 operate at the same
timing as a MIDI sequencer is called synchronization .
The device that outputs the synchronization clock is
called the master device, and the device that receives
the synchronization clock is called the

2. MMCDevID (MMC Device ID) ...................[000...127]
Specifies the device ID that will be used when transmitting/receiving MMC to/from the external MIDI device.
To enable MMC transmission/reception, connect the
external MIDI device to the D16V2 via MIDI, set the
device ID to match, and set “Select MMC Mode” appropriate.
If this parameter is set to “127,” MMC can be transmitted/received to/from all ID numbers.
Synchronizing two D16V2 units
Here’s how you can synchronize two D16V2 units. One
D16V2 will be the master, and the other will be the
slave.
Make connections as follows.
2. MTC RecvErrorLevel...................................... [0...10]
Specify the MTC check level used if “SelectMIDISyncMode” is set to “
MTC Slave
.”
If, due to some problem, MTC messages are not sent
consecutively to the D16V2, the D16V2 will detect the
abnormal MTC state and may stop synchronization and
halt playback. In such cases, you can lower the “MTC
RecvErrorLevel” setting so that synchronized playback
will continue even if some problems occur with MTC
reception.
If this is set to “0,” synchronized playback will not
stop even if a problem occurs.
Depending on the compatibility between the two
devices when a device other than the D16V2 is
used as the MTC master for synchronization, correct synchronization may not be possible unless
you start from the beginning of the song.
P4 MMC: MMC settings
The D16V2 supports MMC (MIDI Machine Control).
When synchronizing two D16V2 units, or when using
the D16V2 together with an MMC-compatible MIDI
sequencer, you can playback, stop, or fast-forward etc.
by operating only the master device.
Some MIDI devices may not respond to the MMC
functionality of the D16V2. Details on the MMC
functionality of the D16V2 are given in the MIDI
implementation.

“MMC” tab page, set “Select MMC Mode” to
“Receive.” For this example, set “MMC DevID” to
“10” (the same as the master).
Press the [PLAY] key on the slave D16V2 to put it
in playback-ready mode.
If you do not want to receive mixer control
data, you can either turn the [SYSTEM]
“MIDI” page “Control Change: Trans” parameter “Off” on the master D16V2, or turn the
[SYSTEM] “MIDI” page “Control Change:
“Recv” parameter “Off” on the slave D16V2.
3 Press the [PLAY] key on the master D16V2.
When the slave D16V2 receives time code and
establishes synchronization with the time code of
the master unit, the slave D16V2 will begin playback.
Several seconds may be required in order for
synchronization to be established.
