Addition Of The Envelope Function; Digital Scrubbing Using The Envelope Function - Fostex D-160 Addendum

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.
1. While the D-160 is stopped, depress the STOP
button and then press the RECORD TRACK select
key of the desired record track.
This turns ON the envelope function. The envelope
indication of the selected track will appear on the
display. The following example shows the indication of
track 4 envelope, after RECORD TRACK select key 4 is
pressed. At this time the recorder section is in the STILL
status (scrub mode is in still status) and the REWIND LED
and F FWD lights up.
