5.Set the “Setting digital output tracks” in SETUP mode to
[L– , r- ].
See page 92 for more information.
6.Use the input channel faders and the PAN knobs to adjust
the playback levels and stereo image of tracks 1–4.
Turn the MON knob in the MON mix section of the
corresponding channels toward [INPUT] to adjust the
input level of the MIDI sound sources, and use the MON
PAN knob to adjust the stereo image.
7.Use the MASTER knob in the monitor section to adjust the
final output level for mixdown.
8. If you wish to apply effects to a track, turn the AUX knob and
AUX RTN knob of the corresponding channel to adjust the
effect amount and balance.
MTC sync/Machine Control system
This section explains a synchronization system controlled
by a computer using MMC (MIDI Machine Control) and
controlled by MTC (MIDI time code) output from the FD-4.
The FD-4 adds a given offset value to the ABS time on the
disk and outputs the information as MTC of a given frame
rate. In addition, the FD-4 can receive external MMC and
Fostex System Exclusive Message (FEX) to perform certain
operations. Changing the device ID number included in the
messages transmitted from the computer allows you to con-
trol various operations on the FD-4 individually. Use the
“Setting the MIDI device number” menu in SETUP mode to
set the device ID number.
Initialize the FD-4.
If multiple Programs exist, select the desired Program first.

1.Connect the MIDI IN jack and MIDI out jack to the MIDI OUT/
IN jacks of the computer (using a MIDI interface).
The computer should be running sequence software that
supports MMC and MTC.
2.Set the sequence software to MTC slave mode and MMC
output mode, and select the desired MTC frame rate.
3.Connect the MIDI sound sources and effect units
accordingly, in the manner as explained in the “MIDI clock
sync system” section.
Setting MIDI SYNC OUT
1.Set the MIDI sync signal to be output to “MTC (Mtc)” in the
“Setting MIDI sync output signal” menu in SETUP mode.
At this time, select [MTC] for Time Base for convenience.
Refer to page 86 for more information on SETUP mode.
3.Raise the master faders L/R to [7–8].
4.Connect the MON OUT (L/R) jacks and the RECORDER IN
jacks directly.
This connection will route the L/R+MON signals output
from MON OUT (L/R) to the DATA OUT jacks via the
RECORDER IN jacks for mixdown. (The L/R+MON signals
included the playback signals from tracks 1-4 and four
MIDI sound sources.)
