Chapter 3 Advanced mixer operations
This section describes practical operations of the mixer including functions that are not described in "Basic opera-
tions" as well as detailed information about settings.
Initial condition when the power is turned on
Fader
The fader for each channel (1 through 16) controls the
level of TRACK or INPUT signal fed to the stereo output or
the Rec busses. If two adjacent channels are fader-paired,
the fader on the odd channel controls both channel lev-
els. The master fader controls the total level of the stereo
output busses.
Channel mute and Solo function
In the Normal display, pressing a [
CH STATUS/CH SEL
] key
mutes the corresponding channel. The [
CH STATUS/CH
SEL
] key for the muted channel is unlit.
Pressing the key again releases muting and lights the key.
If two adjacent channels are fader-paired, pressing one of
the
[CH STATUS/CH SEL]
key for the two channels mutes both
channels.
Also, pressing the
[CH STATUS/CH SEL]
key while holding
down the
[SHIFT]
key alternates on and off of the solo for
that channel.
Master channel mute
While the Normal display is shown, pressing a [
CH STATUS/
CH SEL
] key for the master channel mutes the stereo out-
put signals. The [
CH STATUS/CH SEL
] key of the master
channel is unlit. Pressing the key again releases muting
and lights the key.

When you turn the power on, the VF160 shows the start-up display ("
FOSTEX

Initial.
." -> "
Current DR
", "
IDE
" ->
"
Format Type
" ["Standard" or "Quick"]), and then becomes ready. In this condition, only the [
CH STATUS/CH SEL
] key,
[
STOP
] key, [
EFF 1
] key, and [
EFF 2
] key light on the panel, while the display looks as shown below.
In this manual, we refer to this display as the "
Normal display
", in which you can see the current recorder position is
at the beginning (ABS 00M 00S) of the program 1 (P01).
Operation while the Normal display is shown
Adat Mixer Mode
(Input monitoring of all tracks)
In the normal display mode, every time the
[INPUT SEL]
key
is pressed with the
[SHIFT]
key depressed down, the Adat
Mixer Mode will alternately switch on/off. The input moni-
tor (READY) of all tracks will simultaneously switch on/
off.
The Adat Mixer Mode is a convenient for example when
recording by connecting a VF160 to a personal computer
installed with an adat optical sound card. In this way, the
VF160 can be used in four roles:
As an AUDIO track monitor mixer (using faders of ch1-8).
As an AD (the level adjusted by [TRIM] is possible in low
latency monitoring).
As a monitor mixer (using faders ch9-16).
As a 16MTR for simultaneous recording of all of these roles.
• To use the VF160 in the Adat Mixer Mode, the SETUP mode
digital input/digital output setting must be first set to "adat."
• Tracks set to "IN (Input)" by "INPUT SEL" cannot be changed
to READY.
• This function is effective only for executing DIRECT record-
ing and will not function for BUSS recording.
If you execute the above while in BUSS recording, the VF160 will
want to select a different recording mode. "
Rec Mode Change!
" will
be displayed and "Sure?" will flash. At this point, if the
[ENTER/
YES]
key is pressed, simultaneous with change in the recording
mode, the Adat Mixer Mode will switch on. If the
[EXIT/NO]
key is
pressed, the BUSS recording mode can be continued.
