Plus, the VF160 comes with two multi-effect DSPs. Affordably priced, easy to use, with hours of record time, the all-in-one complete digital recording solution just got a whole lot better.
Features
Internal CD-R/RW drive.
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 ffects 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.
