A.S.P.

ostex’s new VF-16 digital

multitracker doesn’t just re-

write the book on all-in-one digital

multitrack solutions, it rips it up

and starts again.

Here is a machine which combines

state-of-the-art hard disc based 16-

track digital recording with

supreme quality digital mixing and

houses it in a rugged, easy to use,

package.

But that’s just the start of it.

As usual with Fostex, this little

baby is not only packed with stellar

features it’s simplicity itself to

operate.

DDIIGGIITTAALLRREECCOORRDDIINNGG

The VF-16 features no less than 24

tracks with simultaneous 8 track

recording, (16 when using ADAT

interface) to an internal

(user upgradable) E-IDE hard disc.

And having those extra ‘ghost’

tracks gives you real flexibility. For

example; you’ve recorded a great

guitar solo, but want to try another

to see if you can improve the

performance - no problem, just use

another track for the new version.

With this type of power you can

record different versions of vocals,

different drum grooves, different

guitar parts, then choose which of

the 16 tracks you wish to reproduce

and mix. Once you’ve experienced

this kind of flexibility it becomes a

necessity.

Two assignable recording modes

are avaialble;

DDiirreeccttMMooddee- If you want to record

8 inputs simultansously to 8

recording tracks this mode routes

the inputs directly to the digital

recorder via trim pot, bypassing the

mixer.

RReeccBBuussssMMooddee- Alternatively you

can record multiple inputs to 2

recording tracks using the digital

mixer to set levels, EQ, effects, etc.

But all this flexibility counts for

nothing if it’s let down by the

quality of the audio.

No chance.

This high specification machine

records true CD-quality

uncompressed digital audio.

Naturally, as the VF-16 uses a digital

non-linear recording system, full

Copy, Paste, Move & Erase editing

with Undo & Redo is achievable.

Ease of editing is aided by the

ability to display scrubbed audio

graphically, making ’on-

the-fly’, intricate

edit points simple

and intuitive to

designate.

Plus, with clipboard

data available to be

pasted to the same,

another or multiple tracks

and automatically repeated

up to 99 times, you can

become a re-mix wizard in a

matter of minutes.

AADDAATTIINNTTEERRFFAACCEE

The VF-16 is equipped with an

ADAT™ Digital Interface which

can be used for importing and

exporting ADAT™ compatible

material, plus

archiving sessions to

the ADAT format.

UUPPGGRRAADDAABBLLEEHHAARRDDDDRRIIVVEE

The removable plate on the

underside of a VF-16 allows you to

change the internal E-IDE hard drive.

A larger hard drive means more

recording time.

And if you thought that was cool,

wait ’till you hear that the VF-16

can export and import audio (all

tracks, one track or any part of a

track) as standard ‘.WAV’ files via

SCSI meaning that editing,

processing and sound file

conversion can be accomplished

using popular PC music software.

TTRRUUEEDDIIGGIITTAALLMMIIXXIINNGG

The amazing audio quality

delivered by the VF-16 is due only in

part to the stellar recording engine.

The digital mixer also plays its part

in making the VF-16 the most

usable, best sounding multitracker

out there. Firstly you get some real

60mm faders to play with on all 16

input channels and master.

Fostex have made the VF-16 incredibly easy to

operate. Nice touches which you’ll appreciate

include; large illuminated buttons, 60mm faders and

a clear backlit LCD display.

The ‘distortion and hiss-free’ input

stages (including 2 with XLR,

inserts and +48v phantom power),

feature trim pots and have been

designed to handle almost anything

you can throw at them from the

lowest of low level mic signals to

the hottest instrument signal.

There’s a great 3-band EQ with

parametric mid & high on all 16

channels to enable you crisp up,

add punch, cut hiss or increase the

depth of your sound.

There’s also a separate EQ for the

master, assignable channel

compressors (ch 13 + 14 or ch 15 + 16

with EQ off), & master compressor,

2 AUX sends per channel, for adding

external effects, a monitor out with

level control and handy

insert points on inputs G & H for

adding compressors, limiters, etc.

Plus, a stereo mixed source can be

digitally transferred to an external

digital recorder thru S/P DIF.

With the 100 mix scene memory,

you’re not tied into one mix either.

Entire mix scenes (include effect

parameters), can be saved and

recalled - you’ll never loose that

perfect EQ setting again.

And, as the scene sequence mode

allows for the automatic recall of

mixes programmed into a scene

event map, you’re not even tied to

one mix per song!
