D-160 Owner's Manual (Saving and loading data)

4. Rotate the JOG dial to select the type of digital signal format to be used for the load operation.
Selecting “adat” will load data in the adat digital signal format.
Selecting “DAT” will load data in the S/P DIF digital signal format.
Select “SCSI” if you are loading data via SCSI. The following operation will be that when "adat" or
"DAT" is selected for "Load Device?."
5. Press the EXECUTE/YES key. (“SURE?” flashes.)
Selection of the digital signal format for the load operation will be confirmed, and the existing
Program numbers will flash on the display.
• If digital signal is being input correctly, a red “DIGITAL” indicator will light up on the
display. If the red “DIGITAL” indicator flashes, check the connection, cabling, and the
settings of the D-160 and the external device.
• To cancel the operation or restore the indication shown before you pressed the EXECUTE/YES key, press the
STOP button or the EXIT/NO key. Pressing one of these keys repeatedly takes you to the previous layer, finally
quitting Setup mode, and the display will return to the previous time base indication. If you press the STOP button
or the EXIT/NO key any time after you execute the load operation but before it completes, the loaded song data will
be largely invalid, though some portion may play back.
7. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
Now you can select tracks into which to load.
Use the SHUTTLE or the HOLD/> key to flash the characters, and use the JOG dial to select a
desired number. Select one of the following track combinations: “1-8,” “1-16,” “1-24,” “9-16,”
“17-24.”
8. Press the EXECUTE/YES key. (“SURE?” flashes.)
9. Press the EXECUTE/YES key again.
“Play DAT!” (Start playing the DAT) or “Play adat!” (Start playing the adat) appears on the
display.
10. Play the corresponding external device (DAT or adat).
The load operation starts when the D-160 accepts the incoming digital signal. The time required
for the load operation appears on the display and starts counting down. Two tracks are loaded
at a time from a DAT machine in the following order: Track 1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc. from a DAT
machine. Eight tracks are loaded each time in the order of Track 1-8, 9-16, etc..
11. When the load operation is complete, “COMPLETED!” flashes on the display.
12. Press the STOP button or the EXIT/NO key to quit Setup mode.
The display will indicate the time base set for the loaded Program.
<Note>
Once you start loading, all existing song data in the Program will be erased, even if you cancel
loading during the operation, and new song data and tempo map data etc. (data up to the
point at which you canceled the operation) will be recorded. For example, if you load two
minutes of song data into a Program that already contains a song of six minutes, the new
song data will be recorded and the old song data will be erased in its entirety. (ABS END is
“two minutes.”) Bear this in mind and be certain to check the Program before you execute
the load operation.
<Notes>
* If the sampling rate of the incoming S/P DIF digital signal is different, the FS indicator
in the display (44.1kHz or 48kHz) will flash to warn you.
* Even if the sampling rate of the incoming adat signal is different, no warning will
appear. Use caution when you set the sampling rate.
6. Rotate the JOG dial to select a Program into which to load data.
You can select any existing Program (from up to 99).
• If you select a Program that already contains data and execute the load operation, the
existing data will be overwritten by the new data.
If you do not wish to overwrite any data in any current Program, use the JOG dial to
select “New PGM” to execute the load operation. You can do this only when the number
of existing Programs is 99 or less and the hard disk has enough free space to
accommodate the new data.
