Setting A Preroll Value; Setting Midi Sync Output Signal; Off; Clk - Fostex VF160EX Operation Manual

The VF160EX features a Preroll function that enables you to locate a position a few seconds prior to a specified
locate point. The "Setting a preroll value" menu enables you to set the preroll time (in seconds).
The Preroll function is convenient when you wish to monitor the audio data from a point slightly before the
locate point.
• Initial setting:
• Setting range of preroll time:
* You can set the value for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the
song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the
power to the VF160EX.
This point is located if the
current position is before the
locate point.
This point is actually located.
<Note>
The preroll function is active when locating using the [LOCATE] key or in the auto return function. It is not active when
locating using the combination of the [SHIFT] + [PREV] keys or the [SHIFT] + [NEXT] keys, or locating ABS 0 or REC END.
The "Setting MIDI sync output signal" menu enables you to select the type of MIDI sync signals output from the
MIDI OUT connector on the rear panel of the VF160EX to an external MIDI device.
The options are MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer, or MTC (MIDI time code). Select an appropriate option
depending on the type of signal supported by the connected MIDI device.
If you select MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer, first you need to set the time signatures and tempo as described
previously. If you select MTC, you first need to set the MTC frame rate, the MTC offset time, and the MTC offset
