FADER
The VF160EX features 16 channel faders and 1 master fader.
Among the faders, the faders for channels 1 to 8 are always
started up with output signals from the recorder of tracks 1
to 8 (PLAYBACK or INPUT
Monitoring) to adjust this level. The master fader is always
used to adjust the output level of the stereo output.
“Signals input from A to H” or “signals output from the
recorder” can be selected as signals to fade and the fade level
can be adjusted with faders for channels 9 to 16.
This is a way to easily record with the minimum faders along
with the earlier mentioned “2 recording modes.”
It is not possible to mix the playback sound of tracks 9 to 16
if inputs A to H are started for all channel faders of 9 to 16.
However, this can be prevented, since during normal use, the
number of signals input are reduced when recording to tracks
9 to 16 (leaving only the solo part, etc.).
[CH STATUS/CH SEL] Key
The [CH STATUS/CH SEL] Key is the most important key when
operating the VF160EX.
The status and contents of operation varies according to
selections made with this key.
* Under normal conditions, the key illuminates or flashes
to indicate that the signal is input “INPUT” into the current
channel fader, the playback sound “TRACK” is started,
or the track is ready to record (READY).
Pressing the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key alone switches
between on and off (mute) of the corresponding fader.
Pressing this key while holding down the [SHIFT] key
switches between on and off of the solo function.
TRIM
It is important to take care when analog signals input are
converted into digital signals (A/D conversion) when
recording with the VF160EX.
TRIM is used to tune this process and the PEAK LED is used to
monitor the process.
If the trim gain is too high ([PEAK] LED illuminated) for the
analog signals input into [INPUT] A to H, then the signals input
will be converted into distorted (clipped) digital signals, which
will sound like noise.
Once converted with this noise, it is not possible to eliminate
this distortion from the sound with the mixer or recorder.
Therefore, it is important to tune the [TRIM] to a level where
the “[PEAK] LED fluctuates between the illuminating or not”
point at the maximum volume of the signal input.

* To set the send level to the built-in effect or set the
equalizer settings of each channel, press the keys to set
each parameter shown in the figure below and then press
the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key to select the channel to set.
It is possible, for example, to set the PAN of one channel
signal when the channel 1 [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key is
pressed after pressing the [PA N] key. All channels can be
set by pressing the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of channels
1 to 16.
* When the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key
is pressed, the status will require
selection of either “INPUT” or
“TRACK” for channel faders 9 to 16,
as mentioned earlier.
Therefore, operate only the
[CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of channels
9 to 16 to switch between “INPUT”
or “TRACK,” each time the key is
pressed.
