sing technology and
ergonomics successfully proven in
previous Fostex digital
multitracks, combined with the
Fostex hallmarks of innovation and
clear ergonomics, the D-160 sets
new standards in affordable
professional digital multitracking.
The D-160 records true CD-quality
uncompressed digital audio using
18-bit & 20-bit converters to
caddy-held standard E-IDE hard
drives - all under the full control of
Fostex’s new Disk Management
System - FDMS-3 (meaning that, for
example, up to 615
minutes of mono
recording is possible on a
3.2Gb drive).

Usability plays a major
role in the design of the
D-160 with features
present such as a
removable front-
panel, which doubles
as a remote control, a
further 8 'ghost tracks' for multiple
takes of one or more tracks, three
time bases (ABS, MTC &
bar/beat/clock) and the ability to
have up to 64 tempo and signature
changes per song.

Naturally, being a digital non-linear
system, full Copy, Paste, Move &
Erase with Undo & Redo is
achievable via the extensive front
panel controls and highly visible,
‘plain english’ FL tube display.
And when used with edit points
programmed via the jog/shuttle
wheel or ’on-the-fly’, intricate
edits are easy.
In addition, clipboard data can be
pasted to the same, another or
multiple tracks and automatically
repeated up to 99 times.
