The transport keys mimic a regular
multitrack with the addition of
being able to instantly locate to ‘0’
or the end of a ‘virtual reel’ as well
as auditioning the clipboard by
holding STOP plus PLAY, REWIND,
or F FWD.
Familiar functions available such as
5x fast forward and rewind in play
mode with full audio monitoring as
well as conventional wind and
rewind buttons which “spool” at
30x normal speed.
Six further locate points are derived
from Clipboard IN/OUT; Auto
Return START/END; and Auto
Punch IN/OUT. Once programmed,
these allow for Auto Return and
Auto Play. Auto Punch IN/OUT has
a handy rehearsal mode to audition
your ‘take’ before committing to
disk. Cue points can be set by using
the jog shuttle wheel to locate a
desired point or, ‘on-the-fly’ by
hitting the HOLD/

key while you
listen to your track.

The D-90 features ±6% vari-pitch
enabling precise pitch changes
without any loss in audio quality
and enhanced synchronisation
to the outside world
by chasing to
incoming MTC for
sequencers and computers,
with or without external word
clock (via S/P-DIF), and with near
instantaneous lock-up times.
ADAT™ Digital Interface or
'Lightpipe' is fitted
allowing real-time transfer
of ADAT format
recordings to be loaded into the
D-90 for non-linear editing and of
course the easy interfacing with the
latest digital mixers.
The optional Model 8338 SCSI-2
interface card provides for fast
backup and restore to a large range of
SCSI-2 removable cartridge devices
such as MO, PD, Jaz, SyQuest, etc.
Finally, there’s the option of adding
balanced I/Os at +4dBu with the
Model 5040 card to complement the
standard -10dBV connections on
RCA connectors.
