Make sure that the package contains all the items listed below. The illustrations may not precisely

match the appearance of the actual items. If you find that items are missing, contact your local

dealer.

to page “6” for more information.

Detachable controller

Hard disk fixing screws

Use these screws to fix the hard disk to

the caddy. Refer to page “7” for more

information.

Recording media

The D2424LVmkII is not equipped with any recording medium for recording/playback such as a hard

disk drive (in this manual, we call the installed medium "current drive"). Therefore, to execute the

multitrack recording using the D2424LVmkII, you have to separately prepare a current drive.

For a current drive, you can use any universal "E-IDE" hard disk drive* which has been tested and

approved by FOSTEX. A hard disk drive can be installed in the removable case attached.

The updated information on the operation-confirmed HD and backup media for D2424LVmkII is

mentioned in the following Fostex international web site.

Model D2424LVmkII Quick Operation Guide

Preparation for the current drive

The D2424LVmkII has a slot for an optional hard disk. First you need to install a hard disk into the

caddy included in this recorder package before you install it into the slot.

The following instructions assume that you have already purchased an E-IDE hard disk unit.

Prepare the following items for hard disk installation:

Hard disk unit

Fixing screws

Caddy

<Note>

Be sure to turn off the power to the D2424LVmkII (or remove the power cable from the AC outlet) before

installing a hard disk.

Installing a hard disk in the caddy

First, you need to disassemble the caddy included in the package so that you can install a hard disk into

it.

• Disassembling the caddy

Apply your thumb to the edge of the case on the connector side as shown in the figure, and slightly pull

the cover in the direction of the arrow.

Apply your thumbs to the side of the case and open the cover. In the same manner, open the cover on

the other side. (Caution: Be careful not to pinch your fingers.)

• A hard disk is a high-precision device. Do not apply any impact to the disk when and after you install it in

the caddy. Do not leave the disk near a device that generates a strong magnetic field. Choose a level and

stable surface for installation. Be careful not to injure yourself.

Fostex is not liable for any malfunction or damage to the hard disk caused by mishandling.

• You need to set the DIP (Jumper) switch on the hard disk to “Master” before you install it into the caddy.

If the switch is set to “Slave,” the hard disk will not function correctly.

Refer to the instruction manual that came with your hard disk for more information on the DIP (Jumper)

switch setting.

Model D2424LVmkII Quick Operation Guide

• Connecting cables

Connect the cables in the caddy to the connectors on the rear of the hard disk.

As shown in the figure, first connect the power supply cable. Make sure that you connect the cables

securely in the correct direction.

Some connectors on the hard disks may be too tight to connect cables easily. Do not apply

excessive force to such connectors to avoid injury or damage to the hard disk.

• Fixing the hard disk to the case

Align the screw holes.

As shown in the figure, align the screw holes on the side of the disk with the holes on the case.

Insert four included fixing screws (two screws on each side) and tighten them.

Tighten four screws (two on each side).

Align the screw holes on the other side of the hard disk with the

holes on the case.

Do not tighten the screws too much. Otherwise, you may damage the case.

• Assembling the case

<Note>

When you assemble the case, follow the note below:

If a projecting part on the hard disk touches the cover, apply the insulation seal (included in the

package) to the surface of the case where the part would touch. If you use the disk with its part

touching the cover, a short-circuit may occur, leading to a malfunction.

Assemble the case by installing the covers.

After you assemble the case, store the case in a place not subject to magnetic fields.

If you remove the case from the recorder and store or move the unit, cover the connectors on the

caddy with the dust cover (included in the package) to protect the hard disk from building up static

electricity and dust.

Do not touch the connectors with your fingers to avoid static electricity.

Formatting a hard disk drive

After installing a hard disk drive into the recorder, you must format the disk; otherwise you cannot record or

playback any data. Note that the following explanation assumes that the disk is unformatted. If you want to

know how to reformat a formatted disk, see the Reference manual.

Be sure to connect the recorder to the power supply specified in the specification section of the Refer-

ence manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage.

Turn the power on.

When making connections with a digital recording mixer, refer to the connecting example below.

• When connecting the recorder to a digital mixing console, make sure that the power of both units are

off.

• The [DATA INPUT] and [DATA OUTPUT] connectors do not support adat digital signals of 96-kHz Fs.

In other words, the unit cannot receive of feed an adat digital signal of 96-kHz Fs.

[DATA IN/OUTPUT] 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24 can all be used

for record/playback of adat digital signals.

Signals to [DATA INPUT] 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24 will, re-

spectively, be assigned to tracks 1-8, 9-16 and 17-

24, and recorded.

At playback, the track outputs are respectively

assigned from each [DATA OUTPUT] connectors in

the same manner.

At record/playback of S/P DIF digital signals, in-

put connectors [DATA INPUT] 1-8 only can be used

and the output ports will be [DATA OUTPUT] 1-8, 9-

16 and 17-24.

Signals input to [DATA INPUT] 1-8 will be assigned

and recorded in tracks 1 and 2.

At playback, signals output from track 1-2, 3-4

and 5-6 will be, respectively, assigned and out-

put from [DATA OUTPUT] 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24.

<Hints>

• When connecting the recorder to a digital mixing console as shown in the example above, unlike connecting to an

analog console, both digital devices must be synchronized with each other.

To achieve this, use "word clock," the signal for synchronization.

Word clock is used to synchronize all digital words in a system. Normally one digital devices in the system acts as

a master of word clock, and the other devices act as slaves. All the slave devices receive the word clock fed from the

master device and synchronize to it. In the example above, the recorder acts as a word clock master and the digital

mixing console acts as a slave and synchronizes with the recorder. The word clock is fed from the [WORD OUT PUT]

terminal of the recorder to the [WORD INPUT] terminal of the digital mixing console.

• Note that the master word clock setting of the digital mixing console must match the recorder's sampling frequency.

See the instruction manual of the digital mixing console for details.

To execute the digital multitrack recording using a digital mixing console, see "Basic digital recording" on page “18”

for details about the digital multitrack recording using a digital mixing console.

About Sampling Frequency

The sampling frequency is important when recording a digital source, as described later in "Basic digital

recording", but is not as important when recording analog source.

As described earlier in "Formatting a hard disk drive", the sampling frequency and quantization of the current

drive (<44.1 kHz 16bit or 24bit>, <48 kHz 16bit or 24bit>, <88.2 kHz 24 bit> or <96 kHz 24bit>) are fixed

when formatting. Therefore, the sampling frequency of a digital device connected to the recorder must match

the recorder's sampling frequency.

In this recorder, the program to be complied in the current drive after formatting can be changed to any

sampling frequency. When several programs recorded using different sampling frequencies are in the cur-

rent drive, sampling frequencies must be confirmed at each change of the program.

Basic recording

After you finish preparing a recording media and connecting a mixer, you can start basic recording using this

recorder.

Basic analog recording

The following explanation assumes that this recorder has been connected to an external mixing console (as explained

in the “Connecting a Mixer” section). Because the D2424LVmkII can accept 24 channel analog signals, you can

record up to 24 audio sources simultaneously.

Adjusting the recording level

Playing the recorded tracks

This recorder does not have any recording level

controls. You need to adjust the recording level on the

device that outputs recording data. Use the group

master faders on the mixer (faders that control the

output level of BUSS OUTs). Set the recording tracks

on this recorder to input monitoring status so that you

can check the level adjustment.

Press the [RECORDTRACK] select keys for the ready

tracks to set the tracks in the safe status.

The flashing track indicators turn off.

Hold down the [STOP] button and press the

[REWIND] button to locate the top of the Program

(ABS 0).

The top of the Program is immediately located in

LOCATE ABS 0 mode.

Press the [RECORD] button once. (The RECORD LED

flashes.)

Press the [PLAY] button.

The “ready” tracks enter the input monitoring status.

As you raise the group output level on the mixer, the

level meter segments of the ready tracks light up.

Adjust the level so that the “0” to “3” level segments

of the level meter light up at the highest peak.

If the “OL” segments of the meter light up, the

recording level is too high. If the recording level is

too high on a digital recorder, the recording signal

may distort, unlike an analog recorder. Especially, if

you are recording vocal or acoustic instruments, the

recording level may suddenly peak.

The playback starts from the top of the Program.

Adjust the level of input signal at TAPE IN on the mixer

and monitor the sound.

Repeat the procedure described above to record more

tracks (mono track or multiple tracks). You can record

eight different sound sources on this recorder

simultaneously.

If you make a mistake or you are not satisfied with the

recording, you can “undo” recording. Refer to the “Undo

and redo recording” section below.

In this case, you may want to lower the signal peak by

applying a compressor/limiter using an insertion

connector.

Undo and redo recording (single undo/redo)

Everybody makes mistakes. If you make a mistake in recording, you can restore and re-do the data that existed

before the mistake occurred. These functions are called “Undo” and “Redo,” and are executed by the [UNDO/REDO]

key on the control panel.

The Undo function enables you to cancel the latest recording or edit and restore the previous state. Using the Redo

function after using the Undo function enables you to cancel the Uno operation and restore the latest recording or

edit. These functions have some limitations as described in the <Note> below.

As described earlier in "Formatting a new disk", if you format the disk with the multiple undo function ON,

"multiple undo" is possible. See "Multiple undo function" in the Reference manual.

<Note>

You can repeatedly use the Undo/Redo functions until you

perform one of the following operations:

Multitrack recording using overdubbing

Multitrack recording is a term for the series of processes in which you record various sound sources to different

tracks and combine them into two mixes (L and R). This recording involves an important process called “overdubbing,”

in which you record additional sound sources to different tracks while monitoring the input sound and listening to

the recorded sound. The following procedure assumes that you have already recorded a rhythm section using a

drum machine on Track 1.

The “ready” track’s indicator (a small square) flashes

on the display.

Press the [RECORD] button once.

The ready tracks enter input monitoring status, and

the other tracks enter playback monitoring status.

When you finish overdubbing, stop this unit, locate

the top of the Program, and play the overdubbed

sound as explained in the“Basic Recording And

Playback.”

Press the [PLAY] button to play the Program from

the beginning. (Rehearsal)

If you are not satisfied with your overdubbing, perform

the Undo function and record again.

Adjust the level of the playback monitoring sound

(rhythm sound on Track 1) on the mixer. Play the

sound source to overdub and adjust the recording

level on the mixer.

In the same way, overdub the necessary tracks.

When you finish rehearsing, locate the top of the

Program for the actual take.

Ping-pong recording

Ping-pong recording is a recording process in which you mix the playback sound of multiple tracks and record the

mix on an empty track. Ping-pong recording enables you to use previously-recorded tracks in a new recording. In

this way, you can overdub more sound sources using a limited number of tracks. The following procedure explains

how to ping-pong record the sound sources recorded on Tracks 1-6 to Tracks 7 and 8. Once you ping-pong record

the tracks, you cannot apply effects to the individual tracks. If necessary, apply effects on the mixer prior to ping-

pong recording.

The Locate function enables you to locate the desired point (move the current position of the recorder)

immediately. There are two locate methods: storing the desired locate point (time or bar/beat/clock value)

into the memory keys, and locating the point without storing it.

This section explains “Locating the top of the Program” and “Locating the last recording point in the Program” and do

not involve storing locate points. Refer to the Reference Manual for information on storing and locating

locate points.

On this recorder, the top of the Program on the disk is called “ABS 0” and the end of the recorded area is called “REC END.” (If the

Program has no data recorded, ABS 0 corresponds to REC END.) You can use this function to locate the ABS 0 or REC END point

immediately, regardless of the current recorder position.

Recording in a new Program

The explanation so far has been based on one Program set up when you format a current drive (E-IDE hard

disk). You may create up to 99 Programs, depending on the available disk space.

Multiple Programs do not interfere with each other. You can record, play, and edit each Program independently,

which facilitates song management. This section explains how to set up a new Program on the disk. Refer to

the reference manual for more information regarding Programs.

• When creating a new program, the initial settings such as the tempo map are copied from the current

program. For example, if the default tempo map is edited in the current program, the edited tempo map is

copied to the newly created program.

• A new compilation is possible only when the “Chain Play?” (Setup of the chain play mode) menu in the

SETUP mode is set to “Off.” If the [PGM SEL] key is pressed when the “Chain Play?” menu is set in other than

the “Off” mode, the recorder will enter the “Chain Play mode”. Before starting compilation, check that the

“Chain Play?” is “Off” and if it is not, be sure to reset it to “Off.”

Normally, any new program that is compiled will be in the

sampling frequency set when formatting the current drive.

However, in this recorder, it is possible to change the program

sampling frequency.

While this recorder is stopped, press the [PGM SEL]

key.

The display indicates “Select PGM!” momentarily, then

shows the title of Program 1. The Program number

and “SURE?” flash.

Changing the program FS

In the following, we will change a program’s sampling frequency in the current drive.

IN general, the sampling frequency of the program made in the current drive will be the value set during the

most recent formatting of the current drive. But even after a program has been made, the sampling frequency

can be changed. However, the changes will be limited as follows depending on the quantizing figure when

formatting.

<Note>

• Do not change the sampling frequency of a completed program.

• Changing of the sampling frequency will be limited by the quantizing figure (16bit or 24bit) set at

formatting of the current drive.

Current drive formatting by 24bit:

A program in 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz or 96kHz can be made.

Current drive formatting by 16bit:

A program in 44.1kHz or 48kHz can be made.

• Please remember the following points should there be programs with a different FS in the current

drive.

* Do not copy or paste between programs with different FS. Fostex cannot take responsibility in

compensation of data which had been “copied” or “pasted” between programs with different FS.

* In the section “Digital recording” explained above, be sure to set the external digital equipment

sampling frequency the same as that of the program.

First, start the program in which the FS is to be

changed by using the“program change”menu

explained above.

Exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the [EXIT/NO]

key or [STOP] button.

Press the [SETUP] key to enter the SETUP mode.

The display will change to SETUP mode.

<Note>

If you change the FS (44.1 or 48kHz) of a

program in the 24-track mode to 88.2 or

96kHz, the program automatically changes

to the 8-track mode and track numbers 1

through 8 on the display are lit.

Rotate the Jog dial to display the“Sample Rate?”

menu and then press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

When the [EXECUTE/YES] key is pressed, the FS figure

of the current activated program will flash and the

recorder will enter the editing mode.

The following shows display examples when

changing the FS of a 48kHz/24bit program

to 96kHz.

the recorder will be set to the chosen FS when the

[EXECUTE/YES] key is pressed.

exits Vari Pitch data edit mode, indicates the

previous Time Base display, and continues playing

with the Vari Pitch you just set.

3. You set "Digital In" of the SETUP mode to a

“Sync” mode ("SPDIF: Sync" or "adat: Sync")

and the recorder is locking to the external clock

from DIGITAL IN orWORD IN. In consequence,

“DIGITAL” and “EXT” indicators light in the

display.

To turn offVari Pitch mode, press the [VARI PITCH]

key.

The VARI PITCH LED turns off, the Vari Pitch function

is cancelled, and this recorder resumes playback at

normal speed.
