Chapter 3 Advanced mixer operations
This section describes practical operations of the mixer including functions that are not described in "Basic op-
erations" as well as detailed information about settings.
Initial condition when the power is turned on
When you turn the power on, the VF-16 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 po-
sition is at the beginning (ABS 00M 00S) of the program 1 (P01).
Operations while the Normal display is shown
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.
The master fader controls the total level of the stereo
output busses.
Channel mute
While the Normal display is shown, pressing a [CH
STATUS/CH SEL] key mutes the corresponding chan-
nel.
The [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key for the muted channel is
unlit. Pressing the key again releases muting and lights
the key.
Master channel mute
While the Normal display is shown, pressing a [CH
STATUS/CH SEL] key for the master channel mutes the
stereo output signals. The [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of
the master channel is unlit.
Pressing the key again releases muting and lights the
key.
