VF-160 - Next Generation Digital 16-Track Hard Disk System.

Welcome to the Fostex VF160 - the next generation hard disk 16-track digital recording and mixing power tool all wrapped up in an easy-to-use package. Based on the popular VF-16, the VF160 comes standard with a built-in CDR so you can burn CD's directly in the unit! No options, no gimmicks - simply record, master, and let it burn. The recording engine features a total of 16 tracks plus 8 virtual tracks for recording additional takes. The simultaneous 16-track recording to a large capacity 20GB internal E-IDE hard disk gives you hours of record time on all 16 tracks - all under the control of Fostex's clever FDMS-3 technology. This technology enables more efficient disk and CPU usage so you get more recording track minutes per drive without data compression, and faster editing and DSP operations. The VF160 also provides easy-to-operate non-destructive editing with a waveform display and newly added zoom feature for precise waveform editing. The VF 160's superb digital mixer provides 60mm faders for all 16 channels, 3-band EQ with parametric mid & high on all 16 channels, master EQ, channel and master compressors, 8 mic inputs (2 with XLR, inserts & phantom power), ADAT optical I/O, two effect sends and two aux sends per channel (switchable pre/post), and 99-mix Scene Memory. Plus, the Fostex VF 160 comes with two independent multi effect DSPs including a pre-set library with great sounding algorithms. Affordably priced, easy to use, and with hours of record time, this all-in-one complete digital recording solution just got a whole lot better.

What's new in the VF160?
* An internal CD-R/RW drive - the CD-1A.
* ADAT Mixer Mode - when using PC/Mac-based audio/midi software and an ADAT audio card, the VF160 can be used as a full function mixer with its high-quality mic amps, digital EQ and effects processing available for inputs and simultaneous monitoring of the audio on the PC, each with their own fader.
* Scrub Zoom allows zooming-in of the current waveform display by up to 16 times, meaning that editing points can now be more precisely selected.
* Fader Pairing allows channels be paired or ganged in stereo sets i.e. Ch 1-2, 5-6, etc. and have the stereo level controlled by the odd numbered respective fader.
*Channel Solo allows any number of channels to be placed into solo mode quickly and easily.
* In additional to ‘individual track' and ‘8 track' modes, Track Exchange is now enhanced to include ‘stereo pair' exchange.
* BPM Delay will automatically calculate the feedback time of the delay according to any change of tempo as designated in the tempo map.
* Event Map Locate allows instant access to points displayed on the Event Map Screen.
* Locate to Last Rec Point will instantly return to the point where the last recording began.
