Multitrack System By The Slave Mode - Fostex D-160 Owner's Manual

3. Multitrack system by the slave mode

The following will explain an example of constructing a 48 track system using
three D-160's and its slave mode functions.
* Initialize D-160.
* Confirm the program.
* Set all three D-160's to the same sampling frequency.
D-160 (#1)
(Master)
D-160 (#2)
(Slave 1)
D-160 (#3)
(Slave 2)
Equipment interconnections
1
. From D-160 (#1) to D-160 (#2), connect DATA OUT to DATA IN and MIDI OUT to MIDI IN.
2
. From D-160 (#2) to D-160 (#3), connect DATA OUT to DATA IN and MIDI THRU (Note!!!) to MIDI
IN.
In order to slave drive a D-160 with each other, the best setting is to supply Adat digital
signals together with MTC from the master.
Setup of D-160 (#1)
1
. Because MTC, which is the reference for sync, is output from D-160 (#1), set the "MIDI sync
signal output setting" of the SETUP mode to "MTC."
# Refer to page "150", SETUP mode "2-8. MIDI sync signal output setting" for operating
procedure and details.
2
. A random frame rate to be used is set by the SETUP mode "MTC Frame rate setting."
# Refer to page "151", SETUP mode "2-9. MTC Frame rate setting" for operating
procedure and details.
3
. With the SETUP mode "MTC offset mode setting," whether the MTC offset time will be output
(ABS) at the ABS 00h 00s 00f 00sf point or at the 001BAR 1BEAT 00CLK (bar/signature) point
of the tempo map, is selected.
# Refer to page "153", SETUP mode "2-11. MTC offset mode setting" for operating
procedure and details.
