Addendum for D-160 Version 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 11.)
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.

    IN/OUT key. This is also called “point rehearsal.” With this function, you can check the locate points in real-time. You can also use this function to fine-tune the position of the locate points while previewing the sound. This function is effective only when the D-160 is stopped.

  • Page 12: Executing The Preview Function

    1. Press the desired memory key while holding down the RECALL key when the D-160 is stopped. Pressing the desired memory key will enable you to preview the sound at the locate point (edit point) stored in the corresponding memory key.

  • Page 13: 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.

  • Page 14: Enhanced Locate Point Storage

    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.

  • Page 15: Storing In Real-Time

    Storing in real-time You can store the locate point (in the ABS, MTC, or BAR/BEAT/CLK Time Base) in real-time while the D-160 is playing. POWER PUNCH IN / OUT 1. Press the PLAY button to start playback. 2. Press the HOLD/> key in the store location.

  • Page 16: Edit And Re-Store Data That Is Already Stored

    1. Press the HOLD/> key while the D-160 is stopped. The currently-displayed time value (or bar/beat/clock value) is captured and the D-160 enters data edit mode. 2. Press the HOLD/> key, or turn the SHUTTLE dial to move the flashing cursor on the time value digit, and use the JOG dial to increase or decrease the value.

  • Page 17: Enhanced Locate Function

    The D-160 immediately locates the point that corresponds to the displayed memory data (time data). If you have edited the time data, the D-160 locates the new corresponding point. The time data of the Locate point is automatically stored in Locate number 00.

    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.

  • Page 19: Saving The Data Using Data Out

    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.
  • Page 20 1.Press the DISP SEL key to select “SETUP” (“SETUP” will flash), then press the EXECUTE/YES key. (“SETUP” will light up.) The D-160 enters Setup mode. 2.Use the JOG dial to select “Save PGM?” (“?” will flash.). 3.Press the EXECUTE/YES key.

  • Page 21: Loading The Data Using Data In

    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.
  • Page 22 * The FS indication will flash and warn you if the sampling SETUP frequency of the D-160 and DAT vary when loading with S/P DIF digital signals. Be careful when setting the sampling 44.1kHz frequency for adat digital signals because there will be no FS LOAD warning though there may be a discrepancy.

    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.

  • Page 31: Save/Load Using A Dos-Formatted Disk (Wav File)

    <Formatting> 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.

  • Page 32: Saving With Wav File

    <Keep In Mind!> 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.
  • Page 33 6. Press the EXECUTE/YES key again. The menu to input the title of the data being saved will appear. The beginning of the title flashes. By turning the JOG dial of the flashing point you can input the number or symbol desired. You can move the flashing point (cursor) with the HOLD/>...

  • Page 34: Loading With Wav File

    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"...
